4 bedroom house for sale

A most attractive stone barn conversion tucked away in an enviable position right in the heart of the pretty village of Helpston, equidistant from Stamford and Peterborough. The property is Grade II listed, built of coursed rubble stone under a blue slate roof and retains some very appealing features such as exposed timbers and flag stone steps.

Converted in the late 1990's, Beaufort Barn offers generous accommodation including three reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen, utility and cloak room to the ground floor and at first floor, four large bedrooms, two of which are en suite, plus a family bathroom.

The delightful home has a mature rear garden, a large shingle parking area and a double garage complete with a mezzanine floor above for storage.

Step Inside - A spacious hallway, central to the home, allows access to two reception rooms plus the breakfast kitchen.

The kitchen itself has been recently refitted with a range of contemporary wall and floor standing cabinets which contrast beautifully against the exposed ceiling timbers and deep window reveals. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room which also has access to the rear garden. A cloak room, fitted with a loo and wash hand basin is also located off the utility room.

The main sitting room is flooded with natural light due to the large windows adorning the westerly aspect. Exposed timbers and stone walls are a pleasing reminder of this home's origins, while French doors open to a sheltered stone terrace with views over the rear garden making it a great space to enjoy throughout the year.

Beyond the sitting room is a further reception room, currently used as a home office complete with fitted bookshelves and storage cupboards.

Accessed from the hallway, a spacious dining room is situated to the rear of the property and benefits from large windows and French doors allowing direct access to the pretty rear garden.
