The primary residence is a beautiful barn conversion, of approximately 2500 sqft with vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and many unique features.

The accommodation comprises a vaulted reception hall with exposed timbers and oak flooring. There are six bedrooms including the master bedroom with a dressing room and a luxury ensuite bathroom. There are two further bathrooms, which service the other bedrooms. The sitting room has a high vaulted ceiling with feature window and exposed timbers, feature fireplace with woodburning stove. The kitchen/dining/family room is a generous family space, again with a vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers with French doors to the garden. The kitchen area is fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample granite working surfaces with a peninsula, again with a granite top, a range style cooker with an extractor, integrated dishwasher, space for a fridge-freezer. There is a handy utility room just off accommodating the usual white goods and a freestanding, oil-fired, central heating boiler, plus a door to the outside.

There is private parking for both the primary residence and the annexe. The barn has lawned gardens on all sides with a generous paved patio, flower and shrub borders and a selection of mature trees and bushes, all enclosed by hedging and enjoying good levels of privacy.
