Property description
A three bedroom detached barn conversion with a swimming pool, outbuildings and approximately 0.97 acres of gardens and paddocks in a rural position.
The barn was converted to a residential property in 1992 and is of brick and timber construction with featherboard elevations and a slate tiled roof. It has high vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, solid oak doors and double glazing throughout. The 1,492 sq. ft. of accommodation includes an open plan sitting/dining room, a farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with an Esse range and a butler sink, a separate utility room, a study, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor. On the first floor there are two mezzanine areas. On one side there is a bedroom accessed via a seating area and on the other side a study. Conservation approved skylights are used throughout the first floor. Double gates open into a gravel driveway which provides parking and access to a detached timber framed outbuilding. This has twin timber doors and has a 23 ft.11 x 16 ft.2 garage and a separate secure workshop area to the rear.
Sitting/Dining Room
The sitting/dining room has a high vaulted ceiling with inset skylights and exposed beams and timbers, exposed wall timbers and a feature brick fireplace housing a log burning stove. There is oak flooring and glazed doors to an enclosed paved courtyard. Separate staircases lead up to the first floor bedroom and study/home office, and there are doors to the two ground floor bedrooms. There is a beamed opening to the boot room which also has access to the courtyard.
Outside
The formal gardens are enclosed with Ellie Agnes hedging and are mainly lawned with mature fruit trees. A decked area overlooks the heated swimming pool which has an air source heat pump. The courtyard area is accessed via a pathway or from the sitting/dining room. There is a summerhouse and two garden sheds, one housing the filtration and pumps for the pool. The paddock is gated and secure. It is enclosed by picket fencing and established Hawthorne and Blackthorn hedging.
