Description

A beautifully appointed Grade ll listed barn-style residence. The Old Barn was converted in 1980 from the original circa 1800 Grade ll listed barn, and occupies a superb position with far-reaching views over open countryside. Offering an impressive level of accommodation extending to approximately 2,750 sq. ft., the property combines striking architectural design with high-quality modern living, creating a home of both presence and practicality. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to provide a natural flow between reception spaces, with a particularly impressive full-height glazed entrance. Generous living and dining areas are complemented by a well-appointed kitchen and a superb garden room, all arranged to take full advantage of the outlook and connection to the landscaped rear gardens. To the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress with five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, offering excellent flexibility for both family living and guest accommodation. Set behind a large forecourt, there is ample off-road parking and to the rear, beautifully maintained gardens and paved terraces.

Rarely do homes of this calibre, scale and setting become available within such a well-regarded location.
