A fantastic opportunity to purchase a stunning, individual, detached conversion of two former period barns which offers the external aesthetics expected with a building of its period but thoughtfully designed to combine the benefits and efficiency of modern construction and contemporary living.
Converted in 2020, the property offers a versatile and spacious level of accommodation approaching 2,200 sq.ft. over a single floor, creating an excellent floor area as well as a great deal of character.
The property boasts up to five bedrooms and three bathrooms and the beauty of single storey living allows versatility between bedroom and reception space depending on personal requirements. The hub of the home is undoubtedly the vast, open plan, living/dining kitchen which creates a stunning, light and airy space with a dual aspect, high vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and an attractive contemporary stove which becomes the focal point of this room. The kitchen is tastefully appointed with a generous range of units and integrated appliances and flows out into the living area no doubt making this the heart of the property, perfect for everyday living and entertaining.
The property boasts under floor heating throughout, double glazed windows and neutral decoration and is tastefully presented throughout creating a wonderful and interesting home.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a deceptive plot lying just in excess of 0.25 of an acre, tucked away in a quiet backwater off a private driveway shared with only one other dwelling. The barn is tucked away in the corner and secluded from the lane creating an excellent level of privacy as well as a considerable level of off road parking. Secure gated access onto a substantial gravelled driveway leads, in turn, to a three bay barn style car port and the added benefit of a further secure L shaped garage/workshop (combined, provides garaging for FOUR vehicles) which is a fantastic space that could, subject to consent, possibly offer potential for additional accommodation or self contained annexe. The frontage is landscaped to maximise off road parking and provide low maintenance living with the main garden lying to the south westerly side of the property, offering a good degree of privacy, having been thoughtfully landscaped with established trees and shrubs, with a large terrace which links back into the main living area of the house.
Overall the only way to truly appreciate this property is by internal inspection with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
