Description
This elegant barn conversion is architecturally designed to enhance modern-day living, set within idyllic countryside surroundings. Offering a contemporary finish throughout, the property features seamless open-plan spaces and architectural focal points.
The Dwelling - Converted in 1999, this four-bedroom barn conversion features attractive stone elevations beneath a tiled roof. Architecturally and thoughtfully designed, it offers light and spacious accommodation while carefully preserving the barn's original character and features.
Accomodation - Beyond the impressive façade, the property opens into an expansive living and dining area. This stunning space is centred around a double-sided log burner, with floor to ceiling windows and French doors that overlook the rear garden and views beyond. The rear of the room features double-height ceilings, while the galleried landing above brings natural light to the first floor. Off the dining area, the kitchen is designed with bespoke wooden cabinetry and granite worktops, creating a sophisticated and timeless look. It features integrated appliances, ensuring a sleek and streamlined appearance, while the central island provides both practicality and an inviting focal point. The adjoining utility room is equipped with thoughtfully designed units, providing ample space for white goods. Rear access can also be provided from the utility room, alongside a cloakroom.
The first floor offers four double bedrooms, each with its own character and charm. The master bedroom enjoys vaulted ceilings and a dual aspect, making the most of the surrounding countryside views. It also benefits from an ensuite shower room and provides access to a storage area currently utilised as a walk-in wardrobe. This can also be accessed via bedroom three. Bedroom two also enjoys lovely views and has the advantage of its own ensuite. Bedroom three shares access to the Jack and Jill walk-in wardrobe, while bedroom four features vaulted ceilings, a mezzanine level, and access to an impressive amount of storage space. The family bathroom can also be located on this level.
Garden - Set within 0.45 acres, the meticulously maintained, south-facing landscaped gardens are a true highlight of the property. A level, lush lawn is beautifully enclosed by mature hedging, with a small area of established woodland at the rear, perfectly complementing the surrounding countryside views. Thoughtfully positioned flower beds are filled with an array of mature shrubs and perennials, providing vibrant colour and interest throughout the seasons. Adjacent to the property lies an expansive paved terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining, framed by a magnificent, well-established wisteria that climbs elegantly across the façade. Enclosed by additional hedging, the well-organised kitchen garden features a series of raised beds, ideal for cultivating vegetables and herbs, alongside a charming wooden-framed greenhouse. Discreetly positioned within this area is the sunken water treatment plant.
The double garage, featuring attractive stone elevations beneath a tiled roof, is accessed via separate coach house-style doors. It is equipped with light and power, and also benefits from useful rafter storage above.
