About this property

A beautifully presented detached home perfect for someone working from home with highly flexible accommodation, situated on a large 0.75 acre plot and situated on the outskirts of the quiet village of Pilning, surrounded by greenbelt countryside with delightful rural views.

Swallow’s Barn is a most attractive detached home situated in the quiet village of Pilning, surrounded by greenbelt countryside with delightful rural views. Originally constructed in 2010 the property is beautifully presented in a complementary style that is both traditional with contemporary touches, including underfloor heating throughout, a handsome country-style kitchen and sleek bath and shower rooms. The highlight of the property is certainly its peaceful and well-established gardens, which are private with no overlooking neighbours and ideally angled to capture the sun throughout the day. The home has high ceilings and generous proportions throughout making it the perfect house for entertaining, with equally spacious grounds for dining outside in the warmer months.

The ground floor is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall with a cloakroom, then leading through to a utility room, private study, a ground floor bedroom and family room with French doors out to the rear patio. The open plan kitchen/dining room is a notable highlight complete with a wealth of storage and complementary granite work surfaces. On the first floor is the principal bedroom benefitting from a modern en-suite shower room, two further doubles, a contemporary family bathroom and extensive eaves storage.

The house was nominated by the Building Inspectors and a Finalist in 2 categories of LABC building awards – “Best Sustainable Project” and “Best Domestic Conversion or Extension”.
