About this property

This delightful barn conversion offers landscaped wrap-around gardens and stunning views over rolling countryside. The vaulted ceilings and plenty of windows make the house wonderfully light, with adaptable accommodation, a double garage and ample parking.

This barn is a fabulous example of a unique conversion that has been refurbished and extended over the years to create a significant and versatile family home. It offers a wonderful mix of impressive formal rooms with exposed timber beams and more intimate family spaces, with a plethora of period features and fine views from many windows. The front door opens to the hallway which provides access to the triple aspect drawing room with wood-burning stove and study on one side, and the family room with galleried landing leads to the kitchen/breakfast room and cloakroom on the other. The kitchen is fitted with winter and summer AGAs, integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher and central island with informal seating. There is an adjoining breakfast room and utility/boot room. The family room features an attractive brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove. A separate staircase rises from the family room to the guest bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, allowing privacy and independence for visitors or teenage children. In addition to the guest suite, there are two further bedrooms. One is currently fitted with bespoke office furniture and the other enjoys an en suite shower room. On the ground floor there is a further double bedroom, a well-appointed bathroom suite and the principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe - a joy to behold. It has exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings, doors to the courtyard; ideal for an early morning coffee. All bedrooms are well proportioned and some are double aspect increasing the amount of natural light and capitalising on the views.

Outside
The property enjoys a private setting with views across the gardens, neighbouring paddocks and countryside beyond. It is approached by a private road and electric wooden 5-bar gates which then open to a long sweeping tree-lined driveway bordered by lawns and ending in a gravel parking area for multiple vehicles in addition to the central courtyard which provides access to the double garage with mezzanine above. The gardens wrap around the house and are laid predominantly to lawn. A great deal of attention has been paid to the grounds and they are well stocked with specimen trees, fruit trees and plantings. Additionally, there is a decked gazebo seating area to capture the amazing sunsets, green house and shed, all with power and lighting. A terrace – ideal for al fresco dining - borders the rear of the house and is accessed from all the reception rooms.
