Description

Nestled within an exclusive courtyard setting of just three individual homes, this beautifully refurbished barn conversion dating back to 1894 effortlessly blends period character with modern family living.

Occupying a delightful position on the doorstep of stunning open countryside, the property offers almost 2500 sqft of versatile living accommodation, complemented by a substantial sweeping cobbled driveway to the front and an attractive private courtyard to the rear.

Steeped in history yet finished to an exceptional contemporary standard throughout, the character property immediately impresses with its generous proportions and abundance of natural light. The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a magnificent lounge extending the full length of the home, providing an outstanding entertaining space whilst retaining a warm and inviting atmosphere. A spacious formal dining room sits at the heart of the home, ideal for family gatherings and special occasions, whilst the impressive family room offers a flexible second reception area perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to combine practicality with style and is complemented by a separate shower room to the ground floor, creating further flexibility for growing families or visiting guests.

To the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to five double bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks across the surrounding grounds and countryside. The bedrooms are particularly impressive in scale with pipework remaining should you wish to add an en-suite at a later stage. A modern four-piece family bathroom serves the accommodation.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A large sweeping cobbled driveway provides extensive off-road parking and creates a striking first impression on arrival. The property also has an EV charging point. To the rear, an attractive courtyard garden offers a low-maintenance outdoor space ideal for relaxing and entertaining, in addition to a large garage & outbuilding. Beyond the development, beautiful countryside walks and scenic rural landscapes are quite literally on the doorstep, allowing residents to enjoy the best of both worlds, peaceful semi-rural living with convenient access to nearby amenities and transport links.

A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning character home of considerable size and distinction, set within an exclusive barn conversion development where history, charm and modern luxury combine effortlessly.
