Property description

A period, comprehensively, refurbished, four bedroom detached barn conversion with a private garden, off road parking and a double car barn in a rural village location.

Swallow Barn is in a complex of four converted barns, once part of the nearby Upper Farm. At the end of the village, it is surrounded by farmland. The timber framed barn with timber cladding and a clay tile roof, underwent high spec. refurbishment from 2019. It now has a double storeyed vaulted entrance hall (once the cart entrance) and an over 43 ft. by nearly 39 ft. open plan vaulted sitting/dining room with French doors to the garden and exposed timbers. There are log burning stoves and above both ends of the sitting/dining room are galleried mezzanine areas, used as a study and a gym. Also on the ground floor are a kitchen/breakfast room with a utility room, a two piece cloakroom, a four piece bathroom, and four double bedrooms, two with en suite facilities. Other notable features include: Aluminium framed double glazed windows and doors by Origin, LED recessed lights with smart functionality, porcelain tile and solid oak flooring and a modern oil-fired boiler.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen has a range of Shaker style units with granite work tops and upstands. There is a traditional Everhot cooker as well as an induction hob, a hot plate, an integrated dishwasher, and space for an American style fridge/freezer. An oak breakfast counter on the end of the central island, with storage and a granite worksurface, seats two. The beamed and vaulted ceiling is open to a further mezzanine area, currently used as a snug. The utility area leads off the kitchen with space for further appliances and a door to the two piece cloakroom.

Outside

Swallow Barn is approached via a shared gravel drive leading to two parking spaces as well as a double car barn with power connected. The rear garden has a porcelain patio spanning the width of the barn accessed via French doors in the kitchen/breakfast room, the dining area and two of the bedrooms. There is also an area of lawn, clipped Photinia hedging and a gated rear access out to the adjacent county side.
