Description

This stunning triple-height Napoleonic Barn allowed the original architects to create a landmark building, which demonstrates a fully considered approach to holding on to the building's past, whilst marking the present, and also expecting the future. 'Salters' provides approximately 4,785 sq ft of accommodation, transformed into an environment for contemporary family living. The internal triple-height vaulted spaces flow seamlessly between its uses and external connections, with lake frontage enhanced by a waterside Shepherds Hut & deck.

From the large, fully-timbered vaulted ceilings, to the sophisticated double-glazed aluminium sliding glass door systems, the bespoke high-end finishing and detailing provides the accommodation with the highest quality in surface finish, form, space and light. The internal design principles have been led by the building's uniqueness, although modern lighting techniques, audio installation and control systems provide the next owners with a very modern, bespoke home.

Five bedrooms and four bathrooms; a dressing room to the master, second and third bedrooms; wine/gin room; a striking kitchen; fitness room & games area; office/study and libraries all form part of the bespoke interior uses for this remarkable home.

Agents Note - The garage is on a 999 year lease with a ground rent payable of £300 per annum. The ground rent is reviewed and adjusted every 50 years, next review due 2067.
