**A Stunning Barn Conversion in Picturesque Courtyard Setting with no chain**
We are delighted to present this stunning detached barn conversion, full of character and features throughout, nestled within a courtyard setting in the hamlet of Steel Heath, close to the Chester and Shropshire border.
This unique property offers that rare blend of rustic charm and spacious modern living. Boasting four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a vaulted ceiling kitchen with range cooker, downstairs cloakroom, a large family cottage style family-room and a large light and airy lounge.
Both the family room and the lounge access the garden via french doors. The boot-room with its invaluable own separate entrance houses the utilities.
The barn is filled with an abundance of beams, woodwork and exposed brick throughout which are complemented by the slate and wooden flooring.
As you approach the property, you'll be greeted by a well maintained rear garden, complete with mature plantings, offering scenic countryside views. Leading through the courtyard's old arched courtyard entrance is the property, which makes up the whole right hand side of the courtyard. There is a paved driveway and the small courtyard front garden.
Upon entering the property, we hope you'll be struck by the interior space, cleverly converted to retain the original barn-like features while incorporating modern comforts.
The ground floor offers extremely spacious and versatile living areas. The sitting room and a family room, both have traditional Inglenook style gas log burners and french doors leading onto the garden.
The kitchen, with its high vaulted ceiling is the true heart of the home, boasting a range cooker, ample storage, and a central island unit, ideal for food preparation and casual dining. Moving through the boot room with the downstairs cloakroom, you reach the ground floor vaulted double bedroom.
