MOST ATTRACTIVE GRADE II LISTED BARN CONVERSION IN PLEASANT SEMI-RURAL LOCATION WITH GARDENS OF 0.32 ACRES, IN NEED OF MODERNISATION.

The Hayloft forms part of a small development of stone properties standing in a most attractive semi-rural location, being Grade II listed of architectural and historical interest. Believed to date back to the 19th century, The Hayloft was converted by the current owners in 1992 to provide a comfortable family home that is now in need of further updating yet retains much of the original charm characterised by a central gable over the original hayloft door with a number of segmental arches retaining the charm of the original building with exposed timbers.

On the first floor, a particular feature of the property is the stunning vaulted landing with French doors leading onto a Juliette balcony and offering access to the airing cupboard. The principal bedroom is a good size having a dual aspect with a range of fitted wardrobes with direct access to its ensuite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, one single bedroom and a good sized family bathroom with a four piece suite.
