We have pleasure in offering to the market this simply stunning barn conversion, formerly part of the adjacent Grade II Listed farm house and converted to create a versatile level of accommodation approaching 2500 sq ft.

The property is approached by a sweeping driveway with electric gate access onto a stunning plot approaching half an acre, tucked away in a quiet backwater with westerly facing frontage, ample off road parking and attractive timber clad coach house style garaging with useful room above.

The main accommodation combines both traditional and modern elements, sympathetically renovated and modernised to offer a light and airy feel with the original glazed threshing barn opening to the front flooding the central area with light with full height vaulted ceiling and many of the rooms offer exposed beams with king post trusses.

The property offers four double bedrooms, two with ensuites as well as a separate family bathroom and to the ground floor three main reception areas including a stunning open plan living/dining kitchen with beautiful views down into the garden. The third reception provides a further versatile space, ideal as a home office with secondary staircase rising to the first floor. The main stairwell is located in the living area of the kitchen and there is a utility room and ground floor cloakroom.

The property benefits from oil fired central heating, double glazed timber casement windows and neutral decoration throughout.

Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
