Description

Both the main and secondary building offers an abundance of space and character, along with a modern fit-out.

The principal barn represents a classic period conversion, with highlights including a stunning double height family room, complete with galleried landing, exposed beams and an inglenook style open fireplace. Further, there is also a more intimate sitting room, with wood flooring and a similar fireplace but with this one is fitted with a wood burning stove. Also, to one end, running front to back, there is a very attractively designed and fitted kitchen, with window seat informal dining and a door opening directly onto the rear terrace, just outside. Appliances include a five-oven electric Aga with a halogen hob beside the traditional rings. Also, with Miele larder fridge and freezer, and a Neff dishwasher. Upstairs, the principal, heavily beamed bedroom suite is another fine room, with a full ensuite bathroom and offering good views out to the rear. The three further bedrooms are each served by the family bathroom.
The gas heating is mainly underfloor downstairs and radiators upstairs.

The secondary building is a further conversion of a more contemporary, brick-built farm building, forming useful and flexible, ancillary accommodation to the main barn:-
1) The Gym is accessed from the swimming pool entertainment terrace and is attractively fitted out with wood flooring and underfloor heating, timber lined and mirrored walls, with display shelving and integrated TV, along with good lighting and ventilation.
2) First floor one bedroom flat. Accessed from an outside spiral staircase, with a high-ceilinged large reception room and bedroom, all with wood flooring and complete with a modern kitchenette and shower room.
3) Ground floor studio flat, comprising a large combined space as living room, bedroom and kitchen, overlooking a walled, landscaped garden with raised beds. Shower room off and fitted with tiled flooring throughout.
Please note, this building must remain part of Stonelands and used only as ancillary accommodation. It cannot be a separate dwelling, curtilage, or used for commercial purposes. Any change would require formal change-of-use consent.

This building has heating and hot water off one boiler, which is independent of the principal barn residence, with underfloor heating downstairs and radiators upstairs.

Outside, the gated grounds are nicely designed and laid-out, with extensive shingle parking, lawned garden and three landscaped terrace areas, complete with a swimming pool with electric solar cover (otherwise unheated), set within a large entertainment terrace, incorporating an outdoor kitchen at one end.

The boundaries are finished off with feature brick walling on both sides and post and rail fencing to the paddock, which runs down to neighbouring farmland. Two stables and two storage sheds serve as additional outbuildings.
