Description

A beautifully crafted brand new four-bedroom detached barn conversion, recently completed and set in a peaceful rural location. This exceptional home enjoys superb, southerly facing panoramic views across open countryside, complemented by landscaped gardens, a small paddock, and generous driveway parking.

Built to an impressive specification, the property offers light, spacious and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. The interior has been finished to a high standard throughout and benefits from mechanical heat recovery ventilation, an air source heat pump with underfloor heating, triple glazing, and oak flooring. Further features include a Rako lighting control system, top-level insulation, an electric vehicle charging point, and stylish Italian tiling in the wet rooms. Externally, the property is finished with a combination of render and solid wood cladding, achieving a striking yet sympathetic aesthetic.

Accommodation

The house is entered through a large, glazed door with side panel, opening into a welcoming entrance reception hall which leads to the heart of the home?a superb 32ft open-plan kitchen/dining/family room. This beautifully designed space features glazed patio doors opening onto the rear terrace and enjoys stunning views across the valley. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, a central island with quartz worktops, and integrated appliances throughout.

Adjacent to the living area is a cosy snug area, ideal as an informal sitting room or potential fifth bedroom, complete with sliding doors.

The principal bedroom suite includes an en-suite shower room. Full-height French doors lead from the bedroom onto a covered terrace with breathtaking, wide span views over the surrounding countryside.

Adjacent to the bedroom is a small room suitable as a study or a dressing room if preferred.

Stairs ascend to the first floor landing, which is filled with natural light from a Velux window framing the rolling rural landscape. On this floor, there are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, each benefitting from Velux windows facing the panoramic south-facing views, and a family bathroom fitted with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle.

In addition, a staircase rises from the main reception hall to a potential bedroom situated above the living space, providing a flexible layout ideal for guests or home working.

Outside

The property is accessed via a quiet country lane, leading over a gravelled driveway to ample parking for several vehicles. A copping stone path leads to the main entrance and continues around to the beautifully landscaped gardens at the rear.

Enjoying spectacular countryside views, the rear garden features a large, paved terrace?ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining during the summer months. Steps lead down to a lawned area with established shrubs. Beyond lies a small paddock, with separate gated access from Pitcot Lane, adding further versatility to this idyllic rural setting.

P.S.

A few extra comments

Mortgages ? we can help.

Bridging loans ? We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
