Description

Occupying the former farm byres and lovingly maintained by the same owners since their conversion in 1992, this delightful single-storey residence offers deceptively spacious accommodation, thoughtfully designed to create a comfortable and welcoming home. Retaining subtle reminders of its agricultural origins, whilst embracing modern family living, the property enjoys well-proportioned rooms, attractive gardens and a peaceful setting within a desirable rural village community.

An entrance porch, complete with a useful cloaks area, provides a warm welcome before leading into the main hallway. From here, the accommodation unfolds naturally, with the dining kitchen forming the heart of the home. Well-equipped with a comprehensive range of fitted units and complementary work surfaces, the kitchen incorporates integrated appliances including an oven, grill and hob, together with space for an under-counter fridge and dishwasher. At the opposite end of the room, there is ample space for family dining and entertaining, with twin front-facing windows allowing natural light to flood the space, while patio doors open directly onto the garden, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the surrounding outdoor space.

The living room can be accessed from both the kitchen and the inner hallway, creating an easy flow throughout the home. A particularly inviting room, it is full of character with its semi-vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and impressive stone chimney breast, providing a striking focal point. An open fireplace sits within the chimney, while a contemporary electric fire, available by separate negotiation, is currently in place.

Positioned off the main hallway, the utility room offers further fitted units, a sink and space for both a washing machine and fridge freezer, together with access to an additional reception room. Formerly the garage, this versatile space now serves as a dining room and additional sitting area but would equally lend itself to use as a home office, hobby room, studio or playroom. An external door provides independent access, while the boiler is also housed within this room.

A inner hallway leads to the bedroom accommodation, where all three bedrooms enjoy views across the garden. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in size and benefits from fitted wardrobes together with its own en-suite shower room. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by the family shower room, fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite comprising a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. A spacious linen cupboard within the hallway provides excellent additional storage.

Stepping outside, the gardens continue to enhance the property's appeal. Extending from the front to the rear, they have been thoughtfully established over many years and now provide an attractive combination of lawned areas, patios and well-stocked flower beds, complemented by mature shrubs, hedging and trees to create colour, privacy and interest throughout the seasons.

Ample off-road parking caters comfortably for a number of vehicles, while a substantial timber garage provides excellent workshop space or additional storage, making it ideal for those with hobbies or requiring practical outdoor workspace.

Combining the character of its former agricultural heritage with the practicality of spacious single-storey living, this is a home that has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully adapted over the years. Offering generous accommodation, established gardens and a welcoming village setting, it is perfectly placed for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle within a friendly rural community.
