An excellent opportunity to purchase a particularly interesting and deceptive conversion of a part attached former period barn which offers a particularly versatile level of accommodation spanning two floors and approaching 1,700 sq.ft. The property offers a wealth of character and features, each room providing its own individuality.
The property is tucked away on a quiet backwater, located off a small close and reached via a generous driveway providing a considerable level of off road parking and useful timber workshop. To the rear of the property is an enclosed, mainly walled, south facing garden which links back into the main receptions.
Internally the property benefits from two main reception areas including a stunning, open plan, living kitchen with a high vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and access out into the rear garden. The second reception again offers a great deal of character with a half vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace with solid fuel stove, and having an aspect to the west into the garden. In addition there is a useful conservatory providing a further reception, a ground floor cloakroom and spacious utility. The property provides up to four bedrooms with the main bedroom situated on the ground floor, benefitting from ensuite facilities and a good level of integrated storage. To the first floor there are three further bedrooms, a second ensuite and main bathroom.
The layout would suit families, particularly with older children or, alternatively, will appeal to those downsizing from larger dwellings, future proofing the house with the ability to live purely on the ground floor.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate this unique character home.
