5 bedroom barn conversion

An impressive, detached 16th century barn conversion with over 3,600 sq. ft. of flexible family accommodation, a separate detached two bedroom annexe, a swimming pool surrounded by a paved terrace, five stables and just under 4.5 acres of land. The barn was converted in the 1990s and has been recently refurbished to a high standard by the current owner, whilst still retaining many character features, such as exposed vaulted beamed ceilings, stone floors, and an inglenook fireplace. Outside, the barn benefits from a second access, which is ideal for livestock or larger vehicles to enter the land, and together with the newly built stables, this makes the property suitable for equestrian use or similar.

ACCOMMODATION

Double doors lead to a reception hallway which has a staircase to a galleried landing/study and the master suite. The living room measures 31 ft. and features a magnificent, vaulted ceiling and an impressive brick inglenook fireplace. The kitchen is open plan to the dining room measuring 17 ft. square with a range of cream coloured Shaker style storage units and a range cooker. From here, a door opens to the utility room which comprises a separate cloakroom. The inner hall opens to the garden and leads to the guest bedroom with an en suite facility, three further double bedrooms and a family shower room. The first floor galleried landing comprises a study area and overlooks the living room. The master suite opens to a walk-in wardrobe, and an en suite bathroom which comprises a large walk-in shower and a roll top freestanding bath

ANNEXE

The detached annexe overlooks the pool and includes a sitting room and two double bedrooms, all with double doors to the terrace, a separate kitchen, and a bathroom.

OUTSIDE & OUTBUILDINGS

A private gravelled driveway leads to Great Billington Barn, an expansive gravelled parking area and a shared side gate. Set within a central split-level paved courtyard is a heated swimming pool with a semi-automatic safety cover, and a refurbished Breeze house. The grounds measure approximately 4.36 acres in total and include gardens, four paddocks measuring approximately 3.5 acres with automatic water drinkers, and five new 12 ft. square stables, four of which with light and power connected.
