Description
Astwell Park Barn is believed to have origins dating back to the 1800’s and is thought to have been part of a working farm until the late 1980s. Constructed of stone beneath a slate roof, the barn was converted in the early 1990s and lends itself perfectly to family life, country pursuits and entertaining.
Various period features were introduced to the property at the conversion stage including fireplaces with woodburning stove, window seats, exposed beams, pine and rubberwood floor. These combine with what were at the time modern additions and improvements including double glazing, white bathroom fittings, wooden flooring, oil central heating and vaulted ceiling kitchen/breakfast room.
The property offers generous ceiling heights, ample natural light all creating a feeling of space. At 2,794 sq ft (gross internal) this is a spacious home with potential to create further living accommodation out of the double garage (subject to the relevant consents) and scope to modernise.
The property benefits from generous reception rooms laid out on the ground and first floors as well as bedroom one. The first floor layout lends itself to the incoming purchaser re-configuring the rooms to create another bedroom and possibly a further bathroom, subject to the relevant consents.
Key to this lovely home is the rural setting, lovely views, paddock grazing and stabling. So this will certainly be of interest to families with equestrian pursuits; green fingered gardeners; those with dogs or just looking for the outdoor “good life”.
There are lovely level gardens laid to lawn with various trees and a number of vegetable gardens. There is the original enclosed farmyard to the rear that could be turned to garden or more entertaining space.
There is a lovely stone barn comprising three stables and tack room. Beyond the garden is the paddock grazing with hedge and fenced boundaries, and field shelter. Water is located in the paddock near to the stables.
In all about 5.88 acres.
Astwell Park Barn is the most idyllic setting for families wanting space and outdoor life.
