Accommodation
Converted in 1986 and thoughtfully enhanced over the years, the property successfully combines the character and proportions of a traditional barn with the comfort and practicality of modern family living. Generous room sizes, excellent natural light and high-quality finishes feature throughout, while underfloor heating to the principal living areas and bathrooms provides everyday comfort.
The welcoming reception hall forms the heart of the home and immediately creates a wonderful sense of space, with an impressive galleried landing above drawing light through the centre of the property.
The open-plan kitchen and dining room is a superb entertaining and family space, thoughtfully designed with an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry, generous preparation areas and a substantial central island. Integrated Neff appliances include twin ovens, a warming drawer, induction hob and microwave, complemented by a boiling water tap and underfloor heating. A walk-in pantry and adjoining utility room provide excellent ancillary storage and practical workspace. French doors and large windows frame views of the gardens and countryside beyond, while allowing natural light to flood the room throughout the day.
The sitting room offers a more intimate setting in which to relax, centred around a traditional wood-burning stove that creates a warm and welcoming focal point during the cooler months.
There is a cloakroom/WC on the ground floor as well as an outer hallway that allows access directly into the garage from the property.
Arranged around the galleried landing, the first-floor accommodation is equally impressive. The master bedroom suite enjoys a dual-aspect outlook with elevated views across the surrounding countryside. A dressing area and luxurious en-suite bathroom complete the suite, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, walk-in shower and underfloor heating.
Three further bedrooms provide versatile accommodation for family and guests, two benefiting from contemporary en-suite shower rooms. A separate study offers an ideal space for home working, reading or quiet retreat.
