Wood Road, Kings Cliffe, Peterborough

Offered for sale with no onward chain, Howes Barn is an unlisted and very charming stone barn conversion occupying a private setting within the heart of King's Cliffe. Requiring updating throughout, the property presents an exciting opportunity to create a beautifully refined village home of considerable character and scale.

Constructed of local stone and rich in original character, Howes Barn enjoys exposed stonework and timbers that bring warmth and authenticity throughout the house. While now requiring updating and refurbishment, the property offers a rare opportunity to create a truly individual home, allowing the next owner to sympathetically enhance and create a home of genuine charm within this delightful and well provisioned village setting.

Step Inside - A bright vaulted entrance hall forms the heart of the home, with the principal rooms flowing naturally from it and immediately reflecting the warmth and character found throughout the property.

The breakfast kitchen is both practical and well-proportioned, with a separate utility room adjoining, while the dining room leads through to a comfortable dual-aspect sitting room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace. A study can be found at the end of the hallway, ideally located away from the hub of the home allowing a quiet space to study or work from home.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a guest cloak room and a large storage cupboard ideal for coats and shoes.

And So To Bed… - Ascending the staircase to a galleried landing area, there are four generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, together with a large family bathroom, an airing cupboard plus a very large storage cupboard.

Step Outside - Outside, mature walled gardens wrap beautifully around the house, creating a wonderfully private setting with established planting, secluded seating areas and hidden corners to enjoy throughout the seasons. Tucked away beyond a beech hedge, a stone outbuilding waits to be discovered.

To the front of the property a private driveway provides ample parking and leads to an oversized single garage.

Local Amenities - Kings Cliffe is an attractive and well-served village, offering a village store, post office, public house, church and GP surgery.
