6 bedroom detached house

With just over 3,000 sq ft of accommodation, The Barn showcases a skilfully crafted conversion where rustic pastoral features have been blended with contemporary interior design to create an exquisite, light-filled home. Beautiful parquet flooring in the reception hall extends across much of the ground floor offering a pleasing sense of cohesion, and exposed rustic beams are harmoniously allied with newer timbers. With a vaulted ceiling and lofty windows, the sitting room offers a relaxed setting with the warming ambience of a woodburning stove. The adjacent formal dining room provides the perfect space to host family and friends with glazed doors offering a seamless transition to the garden terrace. Fitted with sleek, modern cabinetry, integrated appliances and stonework surfaces, the kitchen has an island unit with breakfast bar, and ancillary
space is offered by the adjoining well-appointed
utility room.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the lower and upper levels, with a ground floor bedroom situated adjacent to a stylish family bathroom with free-standing tub and shower cubicle. On the first floor, the roomy landing provides a mezzanine setting and gives access to a smart shower room and three bedrooms, with the principal room benefitting from a charming, en suite bathroom. Supplemental accommodation is offered in a detached, cart lodge outbuilding with external stairway, providing a ground floor en suite room with a wall of windows and doors and an upper-level bedroom with stylish en suite shower room.
