Description
Barn House
Barn House is a detached, Cotswold stone former barn providing light and airy accommodation set out over two floors. The double height sitting room is particularly impressive with a vaulted ceiling, magnificent roof trusses, exposed stone walls and flagstone floor. At one end is a fireplace housing a wood burning stove. Glazed double doors lead to the charming traditional-style kitchen/breakfast room which has ample space for a table and chairs. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room and boot room. In addition to the sitting room is a study/bedroom four and vaulted family room with doors onto the rear courtyard. Completing the ground floor accommodation are two double bedrooms, a bathroom and cloakroom.
A staircase rises from the sitting room to the first floor galleried landing and on to the principal bedroom. This is a wonderful room which benefits from a well-appointed dressing room and shower room. There is a staircase to the second floor which is ideal for storage. The property enjoys village or countryside views from all aspects.
