Description

This stunning converted Grade II listed barn has been thoughtfully renovated, maintaining stunning original features throughout, and offering excellent entertaining space.

The ground floor consists of an impressive entrance hall with solid oak, bifurcated staircase, double heighted windows, and beamed vaulted ceiling. To the left of the entrance is the galleried kitchen/reception/dining room, with underfloor, stone flooring throughout, also with double heighted windows on either side, the rear leading to the garden and patio, whilst providing ample natural light and an inviting living space. The modern kitchen has shaker style wall and base units, with kitchen island and breakfast bar, a further separate breakfast area, and integrated appliances including an Aga, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer. An additional dining and seating area can be found in the centre of the room, and reception at the far end with a lovely feature wall and inglenook log burner. A separate utility/boot room and downstairs WC can also be found off the kitchen. Located to the right of the entrance hall is a stylish cinema room with projector and screen, and fibre LED star ceiling. The study is located off the cinema room, and a cloak room with additional WC also off the entrance.

On the first floor the Principal bedroom is located at the far end, through a snug, creating a sense of privacy and separation, also with en suite shower room and walk in wardrobe located up a further flight of stairs. There’s an additional four double bedrooms to this floor, one with en suite shower room, another with eaves storage space, and all served by a family bathroom with free standing bath and walk in shower. A staircase from the snug also leads up to extra storage space.

The separate one bedroom annex has also been carefully restored with open plan sitting room/bar and parquet flooring throughout. The Principal bedroom with en suite shower is located off the sitting room, and separate utility and WC are located off the bar. On the first floor is the open plan kitchen/reception room, with bathroom, and free standing bath looking out over the galleried bar area.

Externally the property benefits from a South facing garden with spacious patio area, ideal with al fresco dining, and steps leading up to a large, fenced, laid to lawn garden with play area. To the front the property is accessed through electric gates, leading to a driveway with parking for ample cars, and a large pond providing a peaceful outlook. An outbuilding provides extra storage space.
