Property description

A Grade II listed brick and timber clad barn conversion, with a triple garage and workshop, on a rural country lane and surrounded by open countryside.

The property is believed to date back to the late 18th century and was converted into a residential dwelling in 1986. It retains character features including exposed timbers, high ceilings to the ground floor and an open fireplace in the sitting room. There are solid oak latch doors throughout. There is over 3,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation over two floors. The ground floor has an entrance hall with flagstone flooring, three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room and a three piece shower room. There is also the principal bedroom, which overlooks the courtyard, and has two separate dressing rooms and a three piece en suite shower room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, one with access to a galleried landing overlooking the sitting room. There is a three piece bathroom.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The room is over 21ft. in length with tiled flooring throughout. The kitchen has a range of solid timber full height, wall and base units with granite work surfaces and upstands. Appliances include an Aga, an integrated dishwasher, a single oven and fridge/freezer. There is a door to the garden.

Reception Rooms

The sitting room is nearly 21 ft. long and has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, and French doors to the garden. There is also an exposed red brick fireplace beneath a galleried landing. The two other reception rooms are currently used as a dining room and a snug and overlook the garden and countryside beyond.

Outside

The driveway leads to a parking area and an outbuilding comprising a triple garage and workshop, with over 42 ft. of storage above and power connected. The formal garden wraps around the barn and is mostly laid to lawn with floral borders, trees and hedging. There is a pond near the entrance and a mixture of fruit trees in one corner. The paved courtyard provides a secluded area for outside dining and there is a traditional brick well.
