5 bedroom barn conversion for sale

An attractive double-fronted period family home, sensitively combining modern amenities, quality fixtures and fittings and some original fireplaces. It is located on a sought-after, highly-convenient road, equidistant between village and town centre amenities and near to the road network and station.

This characterful detached barn is thought to have been converted in about 1903, evidenced in part by the hayloft door in one of the bedrooms.
This double-fronted family home offers 2,833 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged in an L shape over two floors. The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming wooden-floored reception hall with a door to the courtyard and includes a front aspect double bedroom suite, double aspect sitting and family rooms. An inner hall off the reception hall gives access to a utility room with a door to the garden and opens to a large triple aspect kitchen/dining room with patio doors to the garden.
There are two staircases rising to first floor landings. The reception hall staircase rises to a landing with two vaulted, old hayloft bedrooms, one overlooking the
gravelled forecourt, the other dual aspect with window seating and a door to loft storage; a bathroom and space for a shower room.
The inner hall staircase gives access to two vaulted bedrooms. The wooden-floored principal bedroom has a fitted dressing area and an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower.

Screened by mature hedging, the property is approached over a gravelled forecourt providing private parking and over a gravelled side driveway leading through double wooden gates to the rear garden. Extending to 1.53 acres, the south-east facing rear garden is laid mainly to lawn and well-stocked flower and shrub beds. It features a covered verandah opening to a lawned garden with feature central topiary and double gates to the larger garden. This in turn features two zones separated by a topiary-lined walkway, numerous seating areas, an impressive garden office with an adjacent gravelled terrace and a twin bay barn with attached work shop, the whole screened by mature trees and enjoying far-reaching views over neighbouring countryside.
