We have pleasure in offering to the market this immaculately presented, thoughtfully designed conversion of a former period barn located in a delightful courtyard style setting, on an established, landscaped plot with panoramic open views to the rear. This unique home forms one of only four bespoke dwellings tucked away in a small courtyard style setting overlooking the pretty village church, within this attractive conservation area.
The property was converted to a high specification in 2020, by a well regarded local developer renowned for unique conversions, and offers a well thought out design spanning two floors with the ability for the property to be utilised as a purely single storey dwelling if required.
The property combines both contemporary and traditional elements, as well as the efficiency expected with a more modern dwelling, having underfloor heating to the ground floor fueled by air source heat pump, double glazed windows and high levels of insulation.
Internally the property offers a light and airy feel with many rooms having dual aspects and exposed beams and internal brickwork reminiscent of the original structure occupying the site together, with oak internal doors, deep skirting and architraves.
The main accommodation comprises an initial dual aspect entrance hall leading through into a simply stunning open plan living/dining kitchen offering close to 650sq.ft. of floor area and benefitting from windows and doors to two elevations, making use of it's south to westerly aspect, with a fantastic vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The living/dining area links through into a tastefully appointed kitchen with high specification integrated appliances, having a useful utility room leading off that provides a good level of storage.
The main living room again affords windows to two elevations including bifold doors to the south westerly side, having a contemporary log burning stove and leading through into a ground floor master suite which is an impressive double bedroom with a good level of integrated storage and ensuite facilities. To the first floor there are three further double bedrooms, the larger of which also benefits from ensuite facilities, with a separate beautifully appointed family bath/shower room.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies an attractive plot tucked away in a corner of the close with generous off road parking, a double garage and beautifully landscaped gardens to the south and north westerly side both of which afford an open aspect across adjacent fields and down to the River Trent and escarpment beyond.
Overall this is a stunning home tucked away within this quiet hamlet but still located within easy reach of local communications and nearby amenities.
Viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
Kneeton - The village of Kneeton can be traced in history back to 1086 where it was recorded in the Domesday Book as "Chenuiton" and at the time of recording the village consisted of 5 tenant farmers, 3 freed men and one priest. Women and children were not recorded and it is estimated that the village consisted 8 or 9 households totaling 30 to 40 people. The village has has little growth in the last 900 years, with the last census recording a population of less than 100, with new houses in Kneeton being very rare and less than 10 being added in the 20th and 21st centuries.
In 2018 Kneeton became a conservation area with 10 of the local properties in the village being Grade II listed which in turn creates a unique and pretty setting.
