Description

Nestled in the serene and highly sought-after village of Cottered, this striking detached new-build barn conversion represents the pinnacle of rural luxury. Combining rustic architectural charm with cutting edge smart home technology, this property is available with flexible land options of up to 22 acres, making it an ideal retreat for those with equestrian interests or a desire for ultimate privacy.

The heart of the home is a magnificent open plan living space featuring soaring ceilings and bespoke LED strip lighting. The fully fitted designer kitchen is a chef’s dream, equipped with high-end integrated appliances, a Quooker instant hot tap, and sleek finishes.

Comfort is paramount, provided by an eco-friendly air source heat pump powering underfloor heating throughout the entire home—each room featuring its own independent thermostat. For the warmer months, air conditioning is seamlessly integrated into the main living area and the opulent master suite.

This home is designed for the modern era, featuring a Lutron lighting system and a comprehensive CCTV network, both of which can be controlled remotely via an app. With full fibre broadband connected, the property is perfectly suited for high-demand remote working.

Entry is gained via secure electric gates (app-controlled), leading to a private driveway and a substantial carport equipped with a dedicated EV charging port and external 240v power.

The property is engineered for self-sufficiency and efficiency, boasting its own private water bore hole system, a 33m deep soak-away for superior drainage, and a modern treatment tank for foul waste. The grounds are beautifully illuminated by Dusk-till-Dawn sensor lighting, ensuring the barn’s striking profile is showcased at all hours.
