Description

Acres View is a truly outstanding modern barn conversion offering the rare combination of high-specification contemporary living and an extraordinary plot of approximately 5.25 acres — a genuinely rare find in this sought-after rural corridor between the villages of Weaverham and Hartford.

Extending to approximately 2,700 sq ft including the double garage, this is a property of real substance, offering generous family living spaces alongside beautifully landscaped gardens, extensive grass paddocks, and a range of outbuildings and stables — perfectly suited to those seeking an equestrian / smallholding lifestyle or simply the freedom of space.

The House
Step inside and the quality of the finish is immediately apparent. A spacious reception hallway sets the tone, featuring rich solid oak flooring that flows effortlessly through much of the ground floor. From here, the principal rooms radiate with light and character. The standout living room is a truly impressive space, with dual-aspect windows and French doors that open onto a charming terrace, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views across the gardens and out towards the rolling farmland beyond.

The dining room is equally generous, with garden access and large-format stone-effect tiling that carries through seamlessly into the kitchen — a real showpiece room. Fitted with bespoke grey cabinetry, contrasting white stone worktops, and a substantial central island with breakfast bar - this kitchen is designed for family life. A magnificent multi-oven range cooker takes centre stage, whilst a vaulted ceiling with integrated skylights floods the room with natural light from both front and side aspects. Adjoining the kitchen is a well-proportioned utility room with ample storage, plumbing for white goods and a separate outside access.

Also located off the reception hallway is a downstairs w.c as well as smaller reception room, which could be used as a family snug, or a home office.

The First Floor
A magnificent turning-flight oak balustrade staircase rises to a galleried landing serving all four bedrooms. Each room is a generous double, and the sense of quality continues throughout. The master bedroom is a large, airy room with a vaulted ceiling, enjoying far-reaching views across open countryside. Its en suite is fitted in crisp modern white with a countertop vanity basin and fully tiled shower enclosure. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en suite and vaulted ceiling, whilst the remaining two bedrooms share a beautifully appointed five-piece family bathroom complete with twin vanity basins, an elegant freestanding bathtub with chrome mixer tap, and a wet room enclosure with both overhead and handheld shower.

The Grounds
The exterior is where Acres View truly sets itself apart. The property sits at the end of a private gravel driveway and is complemented by a detached brick-built double garage (with a large boarded loft space) and excellent parking and turning space. The gardens have been meticulously landscaped, with two immaculate formal lawns, sweeping stone-flagged terraces, a built-in barbecue and pizza oven, and an abundance of mature hornbeam hedging and specimen trees that provide both shelter and seclusion. A converted railway carriage makes for a novel workshop or summer house.

Beyond the formal gardens, a gated pathway leads through a productive orchard and vegetable garden into a secluded stable yard comprising four loose boxes and a hay barn. Gated access opens further still into a series of secure paddocks — making the property ready to welcome horses, livestock or small-holding ambitions from day one.

In all, approximately 5.25 acres of varied, beautifully managed land bordering open farmland, with uninterrupted countryside views that rarely come to market at this level.
