On entering this delightful barn, double doors open to the reception hall which provides access to the living/dining room, open plan kitchen/dining room and a galleried landing/home office leading to the master en suite, complete with a walk-in-wardrobe. One feature is the impressive high vaulted living/dining room reaching 31ft. in length with an imposing brick built inglenook fireplace and views onto the private paved terrace with a heated swimming pool. The open plan kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of Shaker style units with granite work surfaces and a central island breakfast bar. The rear of the kitchen/dining room leads to an inner hallway and gives access to the separate utility room and cloakroom. Adjacent to the inner hallway is a double bedroom, and access leading to a further three double bedrooms and a refitted shower room. The four double bedrooms all overlook the private terrace and swimming pool, whilst the guest bedroom also benefits from a built in wardrobe and en suite shower room.

Great Billington Barn is approached via a gravel driveway that provides off road parking for multiple vehicles, and access to a shared side gate between the neighbouring residents. To the rear is a heated swimming pool with a semi-automatic safety cover which is centrally set within a split-level paved courtyard terrace and a refurbished Breeze house beyond the swimming pool creating an ideal space to relax and unwind or to enjoy al-fresco dining with friends and family. Adjacent to the swimming pool, steps rise to an elevated terrace and leads to a detached two bedroom annexe that overlooks the pool area. The annexe provides excellent versatile living for multi generational living, providing a spacious living area with a refitted separate kitchen, bathroom, and two double bedrooms with double doors to the terrace. Beyond the annexe, the terrace area leads to the formal garden which is laid to lawn.
