Summary

A truly individual and impressive home, quietly tucked away in a secluded position on the edge of this popular village, enjoying a wonderful rural outlook and an unusually generous plot.

This handsome 17th century barn conversion has been thoughtfully renovated in recent years, creating a highly appealing combination of period character and stylish contemporary living.

The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, with three genuinely large double bedrooms, two bathrooms, generous reception space, a particularly impressive open-plan kitchen/diner, utility/boot room, cloakroom and excellent garaging and storage.

Set within predominantly level grounds approaching half an acre, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding open countryside, whilst a selection of useful outbuildings adds considerably to its versatility.

Large windows throughout the home ensure an abundance of natural light, whilst the generous proportions and sociable layout make this a property equally well suited to family life or those who enjoy entertaining.

Accommodation

This stunning 17th century barn conversion has been given a new lease of life in recent years, with a tasteful programme of renovation introducing stylish modern finishes and fixtures, whilst retaining the individual character and charm of the original building.

An initial entrance lobby provides access to a useful ground floor cloakroom and storage cupboard before opening into an impressive and highly versatile open-plan space, currently utilised as an office. Flooded with natural light from the striking double-height window, this particularly attractive area is overlooked by the mezzanine-style first floor landing and provides an excellent sense of space from the moment you enter.

From here, the ground floor accommodation extends in opposite directions, with attractive timber stairs incorporating glass balustrades rising to the first floor. The spacious sitting room is centred around an attractive fireplace housing a log-burning stove, creating a particularly welcoming focal point. Dual-aspect windows and glazed doors fill the room with natural light and provide direct access onto the garden, whilst the outlook beyond adds to the feeling of space and tranquillity.

The generous open-plan kitchen/diner is undoubtedly the heart of the home and will appeal to those who enjoy cooking, entertaining and sociable family life. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary Shaker-style wall and base cabinets, complemented by attractive beech worktops and comprehensive LED lighting. There is ample room for a substantial dining table and comfortable seating, creating a versatile space equally suited to everyday family life and larger gatherings.

Completing the ground floor is the large utility/boot room, an exceptionally practical addition for busy families and those enjoying countryside pursuits. Fitted with a comprehensive range of additional storage cabinetry, beech worktops and a Belfast-style sink, there is also space for laundry appliances. A large walk-in cupboard to one end provides excellent additional storage and could readily serve as a generous pantry or useful boot room store.

Moving to the first floor, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefiting from a separate dressing room with fitted clothes storage and a stylish modern en-suite comprising a large shower cubicle, WC and wash basin.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a very well-appointed family bathroom, fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite including a large walk-in double shower, WC and vanity wash basin.

Outside

Whilst the interior of this impressive home has much to commend it, it is arguably the setting and outside space which really set the property apart.

Tucked away from the roadside, the property is approached via a private gated driveway which opens into a generous parking area to the front of the barn, providing ample off-road parking for the household and guests. A substantial double garage, complete with electric roller door, provides secure garaging and valuable additional storage, whilst two further timber store buildings positioned to either side of the plot offer a variety of potential uses.

The remainder of the plot is predominantly laid to level lawn, creating an unusually versatile outside space with obvious appeal to families, gardeners and those with pets. The grounds offer plenty of scope for further landscaping or simply provide a wonderful expanse in which to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

A south-facing paved patio extends across the rear of the barn and provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months. Beyond, the open aspect allows the wonderful countryside views to take centre stage, creating a particularly attractive backdrop.

The property further benefits from a positive right of way providing access to the plot from a secondary access lane at the western corner.
