Description
A four bedroom newly updated detached barn conversion, with a double car port and versatile space above, set in around 0.46 acres. The property is the result of the conversion and renovation of a former cattle barn, initiated in 1998, and completed by a local developer as their home. The conversion incorporated high specification, bespoke modifications, whilst preserving the original character of the old agricultural building, which has many exposed timbers in the walls and ceilings, as well as authentic tie beams and braces, and a vaulted ceiling in the main reception room.
The external elevations have black wood cladding under a clay tiled roof and most of the windows from the recent conversion are wooden, double glazed units. The current owners have upgraded three external doors to contemporary aluminium units, as well as adding a full height window in the kitchen to accentuate the views over the mature rear garden. There is also a new sewerage treatment plant and gated vehicular access to the property.
Reception Rooms The triple aspect sitting room has a central, exposed reclaimed brick fireplace with a timber lintel and an inset log burning stove. The vaulted ceiling is open to the roof, with beams throughout. A door leads to a paved, outside garden terrace. Similarly, the dining room has exposed beams and access to the terrace. There is also a study.
Outside The property is accessed from a country lane with a public footpath. A five-bar gate opens to a loose stone driveway, which leads to the car port and garden store. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders, raised beds, and decorative trellising. A gate on the left of the barn leads to a private, landscaped terrace, which is also accessed from the sitting and dining rooms, and the ground floor bedroom.
