Description
THE PROPERTY
Originally built around 150–200 years ago, Swallow Barn formed part of the original farm before being converted into a comfortable family home during the 1980s. The property is well presented throughout and offers generously proportioned accommodation, with all three bedrooms large enough to accommodate double or king-size beds.
The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/dining room, which flows naturally into a welcoming sitting room. From here, there are attractive views across College Reservoir, adding to the property's tranquil atmosphere.
The property enjoys three distinct outdoor spaces:
Courtyard Garden: A Mediterranean-style, enclosed courtyard accessed from the sitting room, offering a sheltered seating area with views towards the reservoir.
Front Garden: Located at the entrance to the property, featuring a lawn, seating area, and off-road parking.
Main Garden: Situated across the quiet no-through lane, this substantial and mature garden includes a timber chalet currently used as additional accommodation, along with a decked seating area enjoying attractive water views.
To the rear is a double garage with useful loft storage, providing excellent space for vehicles, storage, or workshop use.
Overall, Swallow Barn is an appealing character home that combines period charm with practical family accommodation, generous outdoor space, and the added versatility of ancillary accommodation in a peaceful countryside location.
