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. The grounds of Great Billington Barn measures circa. 4.36 acres and includes four paddocks that measure approximately 3.5 acres with automatic water drinkers, and five newly built 12ft. x 12ft. stables, four of which with light and power connected. The perimeter of the paddocks is enclosed by new stock fencing with one paddock fitted with deer fencing and fox proof electric fencing. There are also two large duck ponds/poultry pens beneath bespoke net tops, and surrounded by electric fox fencing, and provides a suitable area for swans, poultry, and waterfowl. At the rear of Great Billington Barn is a tree lined avenue that provides off road access for horse boxes and other larger vehicles along a track which is accessed from Stanbridge Road.
