4 bedroom bungalow for sale

A semi rural barn conversion utilising original materials to create a breath-taking four bedroom family home.


Description

Unassumingly positioned and nestled within the surrounding countryside, it is immediately evident that Cluck Barn has been meticulously remodelled and refurbished with great detail and thought. The clever use of original and natural materials embodies the setting and brings a unique and stylish addition to the area. Leading through into what is a breath-taking vaulted space, the open plan kitchen is bright and spacious and focus around a brilliant central island. Thoughtfully designed, access via bi-folding doors to the terrace is easy and offers some of the best of the surrounding views. The ‘shaker style' kitchen brings classic character along with the Aga and other built-in appliances for ease of day to day living. There is additional built in storage and a pantry cupboard, all beautifully finished and in keeping with the property. The entwinement of original wooden beams and new powder coated steels, is clever and adds a unique style to the space, whilst retaining character and a cosiness around the feature fireplace and wood burning stove in the sitting area.

The stunning vaulted principal bedroom features original materials from the barn, access to the terrace and a luxurious en suite shower room. There is a guest bedroom with en suite shower positioned furthest from the reception rooms and feels private with independent access to the front. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation. There is access from the hall to a mezzanine level that could be used as a studio, family room or an occasional bedroom (subject to planning).

OUTSIDE
To the front of the property there is parking for several vehicles and provisions in place for a garage with a studio above. Subject to the normal planning permissions, this could be tailored to one's own designs or requirements, however the concrete base is in place ready for completion. The landscaped
gardens are a particular highlight with a sheltered seating area ideal for dining al fresco and entertaining. The open expanse of lawn borders open farmers' fields to create a feeling of continued space and calm. There are a variety of raised beds ideal for growing vegetables, along with well stocked borders and trees that once mature will create privacy. Attached to the end of the barn is a useful storage room for garden machinery, tools and leisure equipment.
