Description

An outstanding barn conversion set within the walled remains of a 13th century monastery grounds giving the barn an attractive boundary to two sides with open southerly countryside views to Brent Knoll to the rear.

Converted about eight years ago the barn has been tastefully transformed into a stylish and light single-story home with exposed wooden beams in the main living area and large glazed elevations making the very best of the open countryside views.

Approached via a shared driveway into a gated parking area within the walled gardens, a pathway leads to the front door and into the entrance hall. A living room with sitting, dining and kitchen is vaulted and there are fully glazed seamless doors onto the terrace and rear gardens. There is a wood burner cleverly built into the wall which provides an ambient glow and a cosy feel in the winter. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of polished grey cabinets with an electric oven and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier. There are two double bedrooms both with well-appointed shower rooms. The barn is heated with underfloor heating via an air source heat pump.

Outside

The gardens are bounded by two sides by the beautiful historic stone walls that are fringed by flower and shrub beds. A wooden fence with climbing plants makes up the boundary with the neighbouring Lake Farm House.

A terrace and decking area, partially covered, is well situated and has convenient access from the living room. There are superb countryside views over open farmland to Brent Knol to the south. A shed provides useful storage.
