Description

A unique and characterful two-bedroom single-storey detached barn conversion providing over 1,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living accommodation alongside land and gardens which extend, in all, to around 1.84ac and include much improved stabling; peacefully situated in a truly delightful rural position on the fringe of Bettisfield.

Description - Rosemary Barn is a striking two-bedroom detached barn conversion which boasts over 1,000 sq ft of generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged living accommodation situated across a single storey. Having recently undergone a scheme of improvement works, the property now stands as a wonderfully comfortable country home.

Notably, the property sits within land and gardens which extend, in all, to around 1.84ac, with a sweeping gravelled driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles., alongside attractive gardens which overlook a substantial paddock ideally suited to the grazing of a variety of animals; these complemented by a stable block comprising two loose bays, a tack room/office, and hay store.

Situation - Rosemary Barn occupies a truly delightful rural position nestled against a backdrop of the undulating landscape of the England/Wales border, with immediate access to a range of quiet country lanes, footpaths, and bridleways; making it a haven for those with rambling, cycling or equestrian interests. The property lies on the fringes of the traditional village of Bettisfield which perches on the edge of Whixall Moss, a National Nature Reserve criss-crossed by tracks and walks which allow visitors to truly leave the madding crowd behind. Despite its idyllic setting, the property retains a convenient proximity to the nearby towns of Ellesmere and Whitchurch which, between them, provide a range of day-to-day amenities, including Schools, Supermarkets, Restaurants, Public Houses, Medical Facilities, and an array of independent shops, with the county centres of Wrexham and Shrewsbury lying to the north and south respectively.

Schooling - The property is well situated for access to a number of well regarded state and private school, including Welshampton C of E Primary, Whixall C of E Primary, Newtown C of E Primary (outstanding), The Maelor School, Lakelands Academy, Ellesmere College, Packwood Haugh, Oswestry School and Adcote School for Girls.

The Property - The property is principally accessed via a door which opens into a recently improved Boot Room, which provides an ideal place for storing muddy boots and coats following walks or rides in the surrounding countryside. From here a further door opens into a versatile Study/Dining Room, perfect for those working from home or for entertaining, with the room also offering scope for use a family room or further reception room.

Double doors open from the Dining Room into a generously proportioned Sitting Room which extends to over 320 sq ft and serves as the heart of this unique home, with two windows offering views over the paddock beyond and framing an attractive multi-fuel burner set onto a raised hearth with exposed brick walling to the rear. The accommodation segues from the Sitting Room to a Kitchen which features a selection selection of modern fitted units set against a backdrop of whitewashed exposed brickwork.

To the rear of the property, an inner Hallway provides access into two well proportioned Bedrooms, each benefitting from glazing which overlooks the southerly aspects and with the Principal Bedroom boasting patio doors which exit directly onto the gardens, allowing for a seamless transition between the internal and external elements of the home. Both Bedrooms are served by a family Bathroom which comprises a modern white suite featuring a P-shaped bath, hand basin, and WC. The living accommodation is completed by a Useful utility Room positioned beside the Dining Room.

Land & Gardens - Rosemary Barn rests within grounds which extend, in all, to around 1.84ac, or thereabouts, with gated access leading on to a sweeping driveway which culminates at a gravelled parking area immediately to the south of the property, this flanked by an area of lawn and a gravelled seating area, the latter representing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with views afforded across the paddock.

To the east of the property is a pasture paddock which extends to around 1.5ac, this offering excellent potential for the grazing of a variety of livestock, but which will appeal particularly to those with equestrian interests. The Paddock is complemented by a stable block (approx. 970 sq ft) which further add to the property's equestrian appeal and comprises two loose boxes, a hay store, and a useful office/store with inset cloakroom.
