** INDIVIDUAL BARN CONVERSION ** IN THE REGION OF 1500 SQ FT ** 3 BEDROOMS ** 2 RECEPTION ROOMS ** WEALTH OF CHARACTER & FEATURES ** WELL STOCKED MANAGEABLE GARDEN ** 2 GARAGES ** HIGHLY REGARDED VILLAGE **
We have pleasure in offering to the market this fascinating individual barn converted in the 1980s to create a bespoke home with a wealth of character and features.
The property offers close to 1500 sq ft of internal accommodation with each room offering its own individual character with exposed ceiling timbers and cottage style doors. The generous sitting room has a high heavily beamed ceiling and feature fireplace with solid fuel stove, creating a grand room which leads out into the courtyard garden.
There are two further reception rooms, one being formal dining room again with access out into the garden, plus a separate study ideal for today's home working. There is also a fitted kitchen and ground floor cloakroom/utility area off.
To the first floor an L shaped landing leads to a configuration which currently comprises master bedroom with dressing room, there is a further walk-through landing area with second double bedroom and bathroom.
In its current configuration the first floor provides two spacious double bedrooms with further dressing room but could easily be reconfigured to its original layout which was three bedrooms.
The property occupies a manageable plot with pleasant enclosed courtyard style garden at the rear, well stocked with an abundance of shrubs with paved seating area and the unusual feature of an attractive open fronted barn providing a wonderful covered entertaining space.
A short distance from the property there are two garages providing secure parking, storage or workshop space.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate this really interesting individual home.
