Description

Wagtail is an impressive, detached stone barn, sympathetically converted to an exceptional standard while retaining its original character. The property opens into a striking double height, fully glazed entrance hall that floods the space with natural light and showcases the beautiful wooden floors throughout.

Grand double doors lead into a spacious living room, complete with a charming log burner that creates a warm and inviting focal point. The well equipped farmhouse style kitchen features a gas range cooker and ample preparation space, making it ideal for both everyday use and entertaining on a larger scale. A separate, light filled dining area offers generous room for hosting family meals or special occasions.

This substantial home offers four bedrooms, three of which benefit from en suite facilities, along with a family bathroom and a guest cloakroom. The reception areas are truly magnificent, with the drawing room flowing seamlessly from a stunning fully vaulted dining hall, complemented by a galleried first floor landing that adds drama and architectural interest.

Outside, Wagtail enjoys its own private gardens, providing a peaceful setting for relaxation and outdoor dining. In addition, residents have access to superb communal facilities, including an indoor heated swimming pool and a large, well appointed indoor play area.

Wagtail would make a wonderful family home thanks to its generous layout, versatile living spaces, and excellent amenities. Equally, it presents an outstanding investment opportunity, currently achieving an excellent level of rental income..

This exceptional barn conversion offers space, character, and a superb lifestyle setting.
