A characterful detached stone house with a beautiful, south-facing landscaped garden in a thriving village.
Description
Nestled away from the main street in the picturesque village of Long Compton, Barncroft House is a beautifully presented four bedroom Cotswold stone property offering peace, privacy, character and is priced to sell.
Dating back to 1714, this historic home is rich in period features, including flagstone floors, inglenook fireplaces, exposed stonework and timber beams, and traditional leaded windows. The front door opens to an enclosed pitched roof porch with a solid door that opens to the dining hall with traditional flagstones, an inglenook fireplace and a door to the cloakroom.
The very spacious sitting room also has a fine inglenook fireplace with a wood burner set on a flagstone hearth and a door to a bright garden room that offers a wonderful view of the south-facing landscaped garden.
The fitted kitchen has granite and solid worktops, a modern electric Aga, an integrated Bosch dishwasher and Belling electric double oven and space for an American fridge freezer and washing machine. There is also a useful walk in pantry.
Off the kitchen is a door to a family room/study, which has a feature fireplace and fitted bookshelves and cupboards.
Off the first floor landing is the principal triple aspect bedroom which has an en suite shower and two further double bedrooms served by a newly refitted bathroom that includes a bath and separate shower enclosure. A further solid wood turning staircase leads to the top floor galleried landing and an attractive fourth eves bedroom with an en suite fitted with a corner shower.
The south-facing totally private gardens are a special feature being mainly laid to lawn and complemented by herbaceous borders and a generous paved terrace, which is perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation, as well as an upper gravel terrace. In the garden, the original well serving the house has been developed into a water feature with gently running water.
A gated paved driveway provides ample parking in front of the double detached garage with spiral stairs to a versatile workshop or office space above.
