4 bedroom detached house

Rooklands is an attractive double-fronted barn conversion offering more than 2,500 sq. ft. of sympathetically converted accommodation arranged in an L-shaped configuration predominantly over a single floor. Designed to provide an ideal family and entertaining space, the accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with useful cloakroom and briefly comprises a large part-double-height reception room with feature exposed brick wall, opening into a spacious dining room with sky lantern and French doors to the terrace. Further is an extensive kitchen/breakfast with a range of wall and base units including a large central island with breakfast bar, French doors to the garden to two aspects, and a useful fitted utility room with a door to the open-sided hovel. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a bedroom wing providing an L-shaped second bedroom with French doors to the garden, two further bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.
Accessed over a concealed staircase rising from the reception room, the first floor offers a spacious principal bedroom with modern en suite bathroom with twin sinks, bath and separate shower.

The property is approached over a private gated lane and gravelled driveway, providing parking and access to the detached triple garage. A rear driveway with turning circle gives access to a detached stable block and hardstanding. There are three loose boxes, an open sided hay/feed barn and parking for a trailer or horse box. The adjoining paddocks extend to approximately 4 acres. The formal garden is laid mainly to level lawn and features an open-sided hovel, numerous seating areas, a timber summer house with spa and shower and two spacious paved terraces, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The whole enjoys far-reaching views over the property’s enclosed paddocks and countryside beyond.
