Description

A characterful two-bedroom, single-storey barn conversion set within a picturesque plot. Accessed through a stone barn into a French-style courtyard, it offers bright living spaces, a landscaped southerly garden, and a versatile stone barn with potential for flexible use or additional accommodation, subject to necessary permissions.

The Dwelling - This characterful two-bedroom, single-storey barn conversion has been a home since 1983. Tucked within a beautiful plot, it’s accessed through a gated entrance that leads you through a striking stone-built barn and into a spacious, carriage-style courtyard. The courtyard, with its French-inspired feel, is enclosed by the barn itself, offering both privacy and a sense of grandeur.

The property has been thoughtfully maintained, updated, and extended over the years, with a bright and open living area that flows seamlessly throughout. Two well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, combining modern convenience with the charm of its original character.

Accommodation - The large entrance hall sits at the heart of the home, with the living spaces to the right and the bedrooms to the left. From the hall, the kitchen-diner offers a beautiful outlook over the southerly Vale of Camelot. Designed to cater to all culinary needs, the kitchen features classic shaker-style units from Howdens, a breakfast bar, and a built-in dresser that seamlessly flows into the dining area. From here, access to the conservatory and living area allows for easy movement and an effortless, open flow throughout the home.

Two well proportioned double bedrooms sit at the adjacent side of the property alongside the family bathroom.

Garden - At the front of the property, a charming French-style courtyard is accessed through wooden gates set within the stone barn. The courtyard features a carriage drive centered around a flower bed and a graceful willow tree, with mature fruit trees and hedging lining the boundaries. The stone barn itself, with its beautiful craftsmanship and cobbled flooring, offers ample scope for various uses and is currently utilized as a workshop and storage space.

The rear garden is beautifully landscaped, with a patio area sitting adjacent to the property. Mature shrubs, flower beds and trees provide structure and privacy, while a pergola adds a charming focal point in one corner. At the opposite end, a summerhouse with power offers a versatile retreat, ideal for work or leisure.
