Description - A 5 bedroom detached barn conversion, with a separate and secluded holiday use log cabin, built in 2023. The property is set in just over 3 acres of gardens, paddocks and a parcel of woodland, with a range of outbuildings making it ideal as a smallholding. The barn was converted in 1991, and it is believed to have mainly cob walls with some stone work, beneath a slate roof, with a mix of Upvc and timber double glazed windows and solar panels, with an inverter and potential to add a battery for storage.
Accommodation - A most attractive and versatile barn conversion offering generous and adaptable accommodation, ideal for dual family occupation or income generation. The property has previously been arranged as two separate two bedroom dwellings and can easily function in this way again, with one section being predominantly single storey. Retaining a wealth of character, the main accommodation features a charming farmhouse style kitchen, a welcoming sitting room centred around an impressive fireplace with wood burning stove, and a side conservatory.
Adjoining the kitchen is a substantial and highly adaptable room, currently utilised as a dining room/utility, which would naturally serve as the principal kitchen/living/dining space for a self-contained annexe. This section also includes two further bedrooms, a bathroom, and a lobby with independent access, allowing for complete separation if required.
In the 2 storey part of the barn, the kitchen leads through to the living room, with a gorgeous fireplace housing a wood burner. Situated off is a versatile snug/office, which could serve as an occasional bedroom. Stairs rise to three first floor bedrooms, including a bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with a separate bathroom.
Outside - The property is approached via a shared, private driveway, and leads into a concrete yard of which Hunscott Barn owns the majority of, before the private driveway to the property leads to an area which offers ample off road parking. The front courtyard, which is to feature an attractive pond, is complemented by fruit trees and a characterful stone outbuilding. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with a variety of mature planting.
A particular feature of the property is the holiday use log cabin, constructed in 2023, offering well presented accommodation comprising two bedrooms, a bathroom, a modern fitted kitchen and an inviting living room with doors opening onto a decked terrace, perfectly positioned to take in views over the surrounding fields. This cabin is positioned to ensure seclusion and privacy for both properties.
Further outbuildings include a modern steel-framed garage building, arranged with a mezzanine level and is well-suited for a small rural business, incorporating office space and storage, together with a tall access door providing secure parking for a caravan or motorhome. In addition, there is a timber double garage along with numerous sheds and shelters providing excellent ancillary storage, with 2 loose boxes for equestrian use.
