** STUNNING CONTEMPORARY BARN CONVERSION ** 4/5 BEDROOMS ** 4 BATHROOMS ** PRIVATE GATED ACCESS ** GARAGING & AMPLE OFF ROAD PARKING ** SOUTHERLY REAR ASPECT ** MODERN ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME ** VILLAGE LOCATION ** VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **
A rare opportunity to purchase a truly stunning conversion of a former brick and stone period barn which has been sympathetically extended, redeveloped and refurbished with a great deal of thought and attention to detail, completed to a high specification to provide an energy efficient, beautifully appointed home which combines both contemporary and traditional elements.
The two elements of the property combine a substantial main dwelling, Oak Farm having around 3,100sq.ft. of accommodation attached to which is the quaint single storey Acorn Barn providing around 800sq.ft. of additional accommodation. Although on separate titles and will have to be purchased so, the properties combined may provide a fantastic level of interesting and versatile accommodation. Both are packed full of features with exposed stone and brick work, timber beams and trusses, part vaulted ceilings, natural floor coverings and tasteful fixtures and fittings which have been combined with the efficiencies of a more modern dwelling with underfloor heating, double glazed windows, a good level of insulation and air source heat pumps to each dwelling.
Each property offers it's own individual elements. Oak Farm offers a great deal of versatility having up to three or, potentially, four bedrooms, two of which benefit from ensuite facilities. The majority of the accommodation lies to the ground floor although the master suite is situated off a fantastic first floor reception area being an incredible space with an attractive contemporary solid fuel stove that leads into the master suite with walk through dressing room and ensuite facilities, both having a wealth of character with high vaulted ceiling and exposed trusses . The second bedroom suite lies to the ground floor and again is a generous double bedroom with a great deal of character with both a walk in wardrobe and ensuite facilities, a further double bedroom being situated close to the main entrance. The main living space leads off a stunning dual aspect living kitchen flooded with light having a glazed vaulted addition with bifold doors leading out onto the southerly facing courtyard. The kitchen is finished to a high specification with handcrafted units, stone preparation surfaces and integrated appliances and links through into both an attractive snug as well as formal dining room which again is full of character.
The initial entrance hall leads through into an inner hallway having useful well thought out utility cupboards providing a good level of storage as well as housing appliances, with shower room off and, to the first floor, a fantastic office space situated in the eaves which potentially could be redesigned to create a further bedroom.
The attached single storey Acorn Barn has been utilised as additional rental and, again, offers a wealth of character and features beautifully presented to a high specification with large open plan living area and kitchen providing almost 250sq.ft. of floor area having utility room off and a fantastic bedroom suite again with high vaulted ceiling, walk through dressing room and ensuite facilities. This space would be perfect for extended families and dependent relatives or even teenagers or simply as an additional guest house to the main dwelling.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful plot which approaches a quarter of an acre having electric gate access onto a substantial resin driveway providing a considerable level of off road parking with treble garaging and a pleasant, private garden at the rear which looks across to the village church.
Overall this is a truly unique home in a wonderful setting with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and the accommodation on offer.
