Property description

A Grade II listed late 17th century semi detached barn conversion in a private position with screened formal gardens, driveway parking for up to five cars and a detached games/family room.

The property, in the grounds of Wootton House was converted from the former stables, and has views of the village church. The 2,150 sq. ft. of accommodation includes an entrance hall with a stable door with wing windows, a cloakroom, an understairs cupboard and oak laminate flooring which continues into an over 20 ft. sitting room with full height windows at the front and a door to the rear garden. The open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room also has a door to the rear garden giving a free flow through the space for modern family life and entertaining. The ground floor also has a study and a utility room. The first floor has a landing with a high vaulted ceiling and access to the five bedrooms and a four piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three share a Jack and Jill en suite shower room. The property is accessed via a driveway shared with the neighbouring barn and Wootton House.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Dining Room

The open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room has tiled flooring with underfloor heating, and two windows and a part glazed door to the rear garden. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of oak units including glazed display cabinets and pan drawers. A combination of granite and hardwood work surfaces incorporate a breakfast bar and a butler sink. Integrated appliances include a range cooker with an extractor over and a dishwasher, and there is space and plumbing for an American fridge/freezer.

Gardens

The gardens are a particular feature of the property. At the front there are gravelled pathways and shaped borders with mature trees and shrubs. The south east facing rear garden has been professionally designed and landscaped with a built in irrigation system and enclosed by a combination of walls and fencing. It is principally lawned with flower and shrub borders and mature trees interspersed. There is an extensive outdoor entertaining area which is partly bordered by a pergola supporting climbing plants. There is outside lighting, power and taps to the front and rear and a garden shed which will remain.
