DESCRIPTION

An interesting opportunity to purchase a good size detached brick barn conversion, formerly an outbuilding to a fine adjacent period house.  The spacious accommodation offers scope for improvement and comprises a reception hall, drawing room, dining room, study/work room, kitchen/breakfast room, rear lobby and cloakroom.  To the first floor there are three bedrooms, one with en suite, and a family bathroom.  The property is set back from the road with an attractive long drive.  An old outbuilding with central drive-through car port gives access to a cobbled courtyard parking area.  There is a single garage to one side of the carport and storage barn to the other side.  The main garden extends to the rear of the house and has the benefit of a south westerly facing aspect.  Three immediately adjoining paddocks are available by separate negotiation, as seen on the annexe plan.
