Description

Tucked away beautifully and sited on the edge of this Village, this extensive property boasts over 3,500 square feet of versatile, beautifully maintained accommodation that includes 4 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms along with a spacious, 2-bedroom, self-contained annexe. Furthermore, the private grounds that surround measure around 1 acre in size and boast around 1500 square feet of garaging and workshops. The house itself is a tasteful conversion of a former cottage and adjoining barns which have been adapted and added to over time. Whilst this has taken place, the levels of character and charm have been retained with ceiling and wall beams still clearly visible and most bathrooms having been refurbished with traditionally styled suites. The impressive living accommodation features 2 main reception rooms, the principal sitting room extending to almost 21ft in size. Overlooking the gardens there are 2 further living spaces comprising a conservatory and a garden room that runs 32 ft across in width along the back. The kitchen/breakfast room is full of light looking over 3 of the garden aspects and this space has been beautifully created with a bespoke, practical design that includes centre island and granite worksurfaces. There are 4 double bedrooms in the main part of the house, one of which is downstairs. The other 3 double bedrooms are situated on the first floor, the largest of which has its own dressing area and en-suite. There is also a further bathroom and an additional shower room that serve these rooms. The self-contained annexe is positioned to the side and this is also a sizeable area boasting further scope for multi-generational living or for use as a guest suite. Its sitting room approaches 21ft in size and there is also an open-plan kitchen/dining room along with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. This can be accessed via the house itself or separately to the front and has the advantage of having its own courtyard garden behind. Outside, the gardens provide peace and seclusion and are largely made up of enclosed lawns, maturing trees, and shrubbery. There are plenty of areas for seating and entertaining as well as plentiful levels of parking for vehicles large and small. To one side, there is a fully powered workshop spanning over 50ft in length whilst a driveway leads to the rear where there is a 27ft garage space which has a further, adjoining 22ft workshop. Hill Farm Barn truly is a “lifestyle” property, and these opportunities rarely arise and become available to purchase. Early viewing is recommended.
