Description

Meadow Barn is an exceptional Grade II listed barn conversion offering over 3,433 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, combining the character and grandeur of a historic building with the comfort and practicality of modern family living. The barn has had only one owner since its conversion in excess of 25 years ago. Set within a private collection of just three converted barns and approached through elegant electric gates, the property enjoys mature gardens, a charming courtyard, an orchard meadow of approximately 0.67 of an acre. Stunning vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, galleried landings and impressive full-height glazing create a remarkable sense of space and light, while five bedrooms, four bathrooms, multiple reception areas and dedicated home-working spaces provide outstanding versatility for modern lifestyles.

The centrepiece of the property is the magnificent vaulted sitting and dining room, an impressive entertaining space featuring twin sets of French doors opening onto both the courtyard and garden terraces. Adjacent lies the beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with classic shaker-style cabinetry, granite work surfaces, an integrated fridge, Bosch dishwasher, waste disposal unit and a professional-style range cooker. The kitchen flows naturally into a cosy snug and practical utility room.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a delightful garden room overlooking the grounds, a dedicated study, cloakroom and three generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a luxurious Neptune en-suite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The upper floors continue to impress with an exceptional degree of flexibility. A galleried games area provides an ideal recreational space and leads to a spacious guest bedroom with en-suite. A further galleried library area, complete with built-in bookcases and exposed beams, serves Bedroom Three, which also enjoys its own en-suite bathroom. A separate spiral staircase rises to an additional office, creating an ideal environment for home working, creative pursuits or private study.

Outside, the grounds are a particular feature of the property. Mature gardens wrap around two sides of the barn, including a charming established courtyard filled with seasonal colour and flowering plants. Beyond lies a delightful orchard meadow of approximately 0.67 of an acre, planted with plum, damson, cherry, apple and crab apple trees. An original flint wall provides a striking reminder of the property's heritage, while practical additions include outdoor power supplies, a hot water tap for washing dogs and extensive log storage.

Meadow Barn has been cherished by the same family for nearly three decades since the original barn conversion and represents a rare blend of architectural significance, generous living space and idyllic countryside surroundings.
