Description
Timmys Barn is a substantial character barn conversion with outstanding panoramic views across Moddershall Valley nature reserve, as well as the accompanying 3 acre plot which surrounds one side of the property. Located on the fringe of the canal town of Stone, Timmys Barn enjoys the perfect blend of rural living and easy accessibility to amenities.

Entering via a wide doorway, the entrance hall is a bright space with a feature staircase rising to the first floor. The entrance hall offers an excellent welcome to this family home, and provides access to the sitting room. The dual aspect sitting room is a superb size with a brick built fireplace providing an attractive focal point. A further doorway leads through to the spacious kitchen breakfast room which has a range of fitted wall and floor cabinetry, and even a handy pantry as well as access to the rear garden. At the opposite end of the ground floor is a cosy snug, utility room with guest WC off, and the fourth bedroom with fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite. This trio of rooms could be utilised entirely separately from the rest of the house as a self contained annex or AirBnB (subject to any necessary consents), and even has its own external access.

The first floor accommodation is equally as bright and spacious, with a large galleried landing area providing access to the bedroom accommodation on this level. The master suite is an excellent size and offers a trio of rooms with the bedroom itself at the far end, with a walk in wardrobe and vast en-suite bathroom located off a private landing area. At the opposite end of the landing, there are a further two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, as well as a large family bathroom.

Gardens & Grounds
A shared gravelled driveway offers an idyllic approach to Timmys Barn, and leads to a large gravelled parking area which can accommodate a plethora of vehicles. The garden area is fenced, is south facing and mainly laid to lawn, with a former vegetable patch fenced off on one side whilst there is a south facing terrace area off the house itself.

A five bar gate leads off from the driveway to the large field that adjoins the property. The field comprises the balance of the land and offers an ideal opportunity for those with equestrian interests. The plot totals 3.91 acres all in all.
