Description

This distinguished Grade II listed property occupies a private location down a shared drive. Comprising of a thoughtfully converted fortified threshing barn, the conversion preserves historical features including exposed stone walls, arrow ventilation slit windows and exposed timber beams.

The property offers the opportunity to alter the layout on the ground floor to feature a third bedroom/dining room space. As was previously the case. This change would be simple in nature and not require any major building work nor be a particularly disruptive project. Please ask for further information if this is of interest.

The property offers comprehensive accommodation featuring an entrance hall, cloakroom, kitchen diner (14'8 x 11'2), formal dining room (12'6 x 11'2), and an impressive living room (21'8 x 17'2) with patio doors to garden. The first floor comprises two bedrooms - the master bedroom (18'10 x 12'1) and second bedroom (9'10 x 9'6) - plus a family bathroom. External amenities include a private garden and off-road parking for 2-4 vehicles accessed via five-bar gate.
