4 bedroom house

'Courtyard Barn' is a beautifully presented contemporary, single storey 'U' shaped barn conversation set within a rural location, enjoying a picturesque and tranquil position overlooking rolling countryside. The barn was converted in 2015 and finished to an exquisite standard, offering a high specification throughout. The property is constructed from a mixture of brick and flint, underneath a pantile roof and finished partly in render providing a pretty façade and a contemporary finish. Set off the road within a complex of two other converted barns, 'Courtyard Barn' is accessed initially via a shared well-maintained driveway, leading onto a private shingled drive with an automated secure gate and telecom control. The barn sits within a 0.36 acre plot (stms) offering lawned gardens, including a large terrace with a mixture of well-maintained walled and fenced boundaries.

The accommodation has been well designed, providing highly flexible and versatile living spaces and extends to a total of approximately 3,467 sq. ft. From the central courtyard garden you enter through a glazed door with floor height windows, allowing natural light to fill into the impressive reception entrance hallway. Travertine tiled flooring guides you along the hallway into the impressive open-plan living space. To the left of the hallway you'll find the cloakroom, large storage cupboard and the second bedroom fitted with an en-suite shower room. The open-plan living space consists of a sitting/dining and kitchen area, which is enhanced by the vaulted ceilings above and has been recently decorated by the current owner. The impressive kitchen is fitted with island unit and granite work surfaces. Numerous NEFF appliances can be found throughout, including a double electric wall oven, a ceramic hob with extractor fan above, a dishwasher, a wine fridge and a large separate fridge and freezer. The island unit affords further storage, a breakfast bar and a stainless-steel sink unit. From this impressive space you also have independent access out to both the front and rear courtyard gardens. Set just off the kitchen, is the separate utility room, offering further cabinets, a sink unit and additional space for white goods. From the utility room you have external access out to the courtyard garden and terrace. The sitting room is another impressive space, vaulted similarly to the open-plan area. The character in here includes further timber flooring and a wonderful fireplace with a wood-burner set within. Windows and french doors allow plenty of natural light to fill the room and open out to the rear courtyard garden. Continuing further into the property, into the wing of the barn, there houses a study, three further bedrooms and family bathroom.

The principal suite has both a walk-in dressing room and a fitted en-suite shower room. Each of the bedrooms enjoy vaulted ceilings and exposed trusses, whilst large windows provide some of the best views from the house over the farmland opposite. Other than the principal bedroom, the two bedrooms in this wing are serviced by a superb family bathroom, which combines a free-standing bath with a separate shower, WC and a wash basin. 

OUTSIDE Set off the road within a complex of two other converted barns, 'Courtyard Barn' is accessed initially via a shared well-maintained driveway, leading onto a private shingled drive through an automated secure gate with telecom control. From the drive you have access to the garage and double cart bay, complete with an electric car charging point and additional off road parking available for several vehicles. From the enclosed gardens you have exceptional views over the adjoining farmland. The 'U' shaped nature of the barn allows for a fantastic courtyard garden, complete with impressive south facing terrace. From here you have access to the front entrance, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, principal bedroom and the workshop. Additional gardens are also laid to lawn wrapping around the rear side of the barn, where you discover a rear enclosed courtyard garden. This is a combination of lawn, terrace and garden beds. The barn's boundaries are a combination of high-level brick walling and both post and rail and close boarded fencing. In all, the gardens extend to 0.36 acres (stms).
