4 bedroom detached house for sale

Bois Barn is a stunning contemporary home created from the conversion of a substantial agricultural building. Set in the surroundings of a former farm, the property enjoys a rural position on the edge of the village of Egerton with views over the surrounding countryside. Thoughtfully conceived, the accommodation occupies three original ranges which come together around a central reception hall and across a single, spacious floor providing great flexibility and an appealing, easy lifestyle.

The smart front door is flanked by Crittall-style glazing and a full height opaque glazed wall to the rear, flooding the entrance hall with natural light. The style and quality of the property is felt immediately.

The centrepiece of the barn is the open plan, 46ft family/kitchen/dining room which is double aspect with bi-fold doors stretching across one wall. With a vaulted ceiling and exposed concrete trusses, the space has a soft industrial feel enhanced by luxurious herringbone flooring and a chic, bespoke contemporary kitchen with a large central island and meticulously planned storage with quartz worktops and integral Bosch appliances. The utility room provides useful further space for storage and laundry.

Across the hall is a sitting room, another substantial, airy space in which to relax, with carpeted floor and bi-fold doors to the garden, providing an excellent balance in conjunction with the open plan.

Three of the bedrooms occupy the rear range, including the principal bedroom with an access door and view to the garden, a dressing room and beautifully appointed en suite shower room. There are two further equal sized en suite bedrooms set off a wide corridor, which benefits from useful fitted storage cupboards. An inner hall leads to the fourth bedroom and the family bathroom, which has both a shower and freestanding bath. There is also a study which could provide a fifth bedroom. This area of the barn has potential to provide a more separate suite if desired.
