4 bedroom detached house for sale

Superb barn conversion with outbuildings and annexe.

Description

With origins dating back to 1827, and constructed of stone beneath a reconstituted Stonesfield slate roof, The Old Barn was converted in the 1990s. Retaining classic barn character, the impressive reception hall has floor to ceiling feature windows and galleried landing giving volume and light. The sitting room is double aspect with a wood burning stove and there is a study/snug with French doors to the garden. The dining room with exposed stone walls conveniently connects to the kitchen. With views overlooking the rear garden, the kitchen has fitted units and includes integrated Bosch dishwasher and gas Rangemaster oven and hob. There is a cloakroom which doubles as a utility room. On the first floor the generous principal bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms on the first floor, one with a loo and sink, and a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached through timber gates to ample gravel parking. A substantial detached stone outbuilding provides garaging and a work shop. On the first floor there is an independent annexe ideal for an additional income stream or dependent relatives. To the rear, the garden room, with power, could make a generous home office, gym or party/games room depending on needs. South facing, enclosed rear gardens are the legacy of the current owners. Landscaped with well stocked herbaceous borders, there are terraces, fruit trees, timber garden store and a magnificent wisteria clad arbor.
