5 bedroom barn conversion

The property is set well back from the lane and comprises an attractive unlisted converted barn which is beautifully presented throughout. It boasts impressive and flexible reception/family accommodation and provides a good mix of contemporary living and period features including a wealth of exposed beams, fireplace, high ceilings and double glazing throughout. A particular feature of the property is the impressive open plan kitchen/ breakfast/ family room which provides the perfect entertaining space and opens out onto the rear terrace and gardens.

In addition to the main residence there is a detached brick built cottage which provides a kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room with fireplace and wood burner, a ground floor bathroom and three bedrooms.

The barn and cottage both offer huge potential to use as ancillary family accommodation but also as a source of income for holiday lets, 'Airbnb' or an office suite with the ability to create a self-contained one bedroom annexe in the main barn.

Outside, the property is approached over a gravelled driveway leading to a circular parking area giving access to the barn, cottage and garage. There is a right of way for one neighbour over the driveway and a public footpath to one side. The double garage provides two closed garages as well as an attached workshop, all under a tiled roof.

The gardens and grounds are a particular feature and have been beautifully landscaped and maintained with lawned areas and a multitude of mature trees, shrubs and plants surrounding. There is also a large paved terrace, a vegetable garden, two greenhouses and a small orchard. The gardens have wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and in all the property extends to about 1.1 acres (tbv).
