Meadow Barn

An impressive and beautifully presented detached barn conversion offering fantastic living and entertaining space, a stunning kitchen, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Situated along a privately owned road in a prestigious development and set in 2.71 acres (1.09 ha) or thereabouts

Wonderful fitments and features in this character property include impressive double height entrance hall, stunning pippy oak kitchen with contrasting painted units, some oak joinery, plenty of bi-fold doors to the gardens and Villeroy & Boch bathroom suites. Offering high levels of natural light with the ground floor laid to travertine limestone or solid oak with full underfloor heating.

The house is positioned in showstopping gardens and grounds together with a heated swimming pool, all carefully planned, considered and kept by the current vendors. Beyond the extensive gardens, there is an outbuilding originally planned to garage a horsebox which has since been altered and has alternative use potential (subject to gaining any necessary consents), beyond this is a vegetable and dahlia plot with substantial greenhouse, further paddock and wild flower meadow. In all the property is sat in 2.71 acres (1.09 ha) or thereabouts. This property is a rural ideal for so many and offers not only incredible quality throughout but also great flexibility to alter to suit the buyer’s requirements in terms of the external space.

This lovely home is set in a fantastic development with two other properties and still offers great levels of privacy to the rear with the majority of the internal accommodation orientated that way.

Turning off Whittingham Lane, this cluster of converted barns is set well back. On entering, Meadow Barn is a prominent detached property, an electric gate is found to the left where there is plenty of parking ahead of the double garage. The low brick wall encloses the property’s front garden.

The front door is sat within a wonderful picture window and opens into an impressive double height hall which has exposed brick work and timber beams along with an oak staircase with a cupboard underneath. This super space sets the tone for this wonderful home. The Entrance Hall has doors off to various ground floor rooms with a Study located at the front of the property. Double doors open from the entrance hall into the main reception area, currently used as a spacious Lounge. There are two sets of bi-fold doors leading to the rear gardens and grounds making this perfect for outdoor entertaining. A large contemporary cylindrical Hase gas fired stove offers a cosy focal point to the room. We understand the lounge could be extended with a glass garden room/canopy within permitted development.

The Dining Room also has two sets of bi-fold doors which lead through to the patio, gardens and grounds making this a great layout for entertaining. The dining room has exposed brickwork and is open to the kitchen. The Kitchen is understood to be handmade and was bespoke to this property when it was built. The units are constructed of hardwood pippy oak and part hand painted solid oak, all with the benefit of granite work surfaces, a Belfast sink is also found. Appliances include a wonderful black range cooker, full height larder fridge and freezer, wine fridge, coffee machine, dishwasher and microwave. There is a door which leads through to the parking area at the side of the property.

The Utility Room features a range of concealed storage cupboards and more tradition hand painted units with slate work surface, sink unit, washing machine and tumble dryer. The WC has travertine tiling to wall and floor and Villeroy and boch suite in white

The impressive staircase rises up to the Galleried Landing open to fully vaulted ceilings with exposed oak purlins overlooking the entrance hall. It is clear to see the quality and character that has been retained in the property, with designer feature radiators with a tubular design to this floor. The Principal Bedroom suite has views out to two sides and we understand from the vendors that on a clear day you can see Winter Hill; this bedroom also has a dressing area. The ensuite is in Villeroy & Boch iconic pebble style to include two wash handbasins in a unit, bidet, WC and a wet room shower.

The Guest Bedroom includes a range of fitted wardrobes along with a wet room shower ensuite. There are two further bedrooms. The Family Bathroom has a Villeroy and Boch suite in the Belle View range comprising large bath, wall hung recessed WC wth soft close lid, vanity mounted sink with mirror along with a heated towel rail.

The Driveway leads round the side of the house to a parking area ahead of the Garages, a further driveway leads through to the garaging at the rear of Meadow Barn. The building to the rear was originally planned to enable the buyer to garage a horsebox and has since been altered to create a storage area but could be altered back should the buyer require this. The building is currently used as garaging and storage and where the stables once were, there is now a Games Room / Gym. To the side of this building there is a fantastic Vegetable and Dahlia Patch and beyond there is a Paddock/Meadow with natural self draining pond. The more formal gardens have an expanse of lawn along with a beautiful rose garden and bedded area which are carefully stocked by the current vendors. A heated Swimming Pool is found to the rear along with the associated plant room with potential to add jacuzzi if desired.

This property really is something to behold and should be viewed by the discerning purchaser.
