DESCRIPTION
Frogs Hall Barn is a beautifully restored and presented barn, converted in 2006 by the present owners. Within the limitations of the barn’s structure, the subdivision of the internal space has been well thought out and many of its original features have been retained. There is a wealth of beams, exposed brickwork and the generosity of space is one key advantage when acquiring a barn conversion. The carefully designed living spaces offer a large open plan kitchen/breakfast room, large dining room and an impressive voluminous double height sitting room.
The spacious entrance hall with partially vaulted ceiling and tiled flooring leads directly ahead to the office, which features wood flooring and exposed beams and enjoys an outlook over the courtyard garden. Off to the left of the entrance hall is the large kitchen/breakfast room, which is well designed with a range of built-in cabinets and matching dresser, with granite worktops and butler sink. There is a large central island offering breakfast bar seating to one side. There is an integrated dishwasher, a range cooker, and a purpose-built space to accommodate an American style fridge freezer. The most coveted kitchen feature is probably the huge walk-in pantry. The utility room offers a sink and space and plumbing for laundry appliances. There are two walk-in cupboards providing the housing for boiler, pressurised water tank, water softener and manifolds for the underfloor heating. There is a downstairs cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.
The exceptionally large reception room (47’5 x 17’11) is accessed off the kitchen/breakfast room. The high vaulted ceiling gives a real sense of space and offers the perfect environment for entertaining. Exposed timber beams, French doors to the enclosed courtyard garden and the suspended central wood burner provides a perfect blend of period and modern design.
A lovely garden room to the offers a useful second living area with exposed oak beams and brickwork, and a set of French doors opening out to the front of the property.
The separate dining room (20’5 x 19’11) is a spacious room with good ceiling height, exposed beams, wood flooring and a set of French doors opening out to a garden area to the east side of the property. There is an original latch door opening to the retained timber staircase, leading to the bedrooms on the first floor.
The main bedroom is generous in size, with a large walk-in wardrobe fitted with shelving and clothing rails, spacious en-suite bathroom and a pair of doors leading to a Juliet balcony adorned with an established wisteria. There are exposed timber beams, three skylights and an aspect overlooking the courtyard garden.
Two further bedrooms are located off the first-floor landing and are served by a tastefully finished family bathroom, with bath, walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC, and heated towel rail.
Returning to the entrance hall on the ground floor there is a spacious home office featuring exposed brick, timber beams and wood flooring.
There are two generous double bedrooms on the ground floor, both featuring exposed timber beams and a vaulted ceiling, which give a light and airy feel to the rooms. Both rooms benefit from an en suite shower room, featuring a walk-in shower, wash hand basin, WC, and towel rail.
__________
OUTSIDE
The approach to Frogs Hall Barn is lovely and its idyllic rural setting surrounded by open countryside provides a memorable first impression.
To the right of the driveway there is a large garden which is fenced and predominantly laid to lawn. There are raised beds with sleepers to the far end, a greenhouse, and a shed.
There is a pond on the left-hand side of the property, sitting adjacent to the Northern boundary. There is an area of garden here that lends itself to further landscaping to create for example, an additional entertainment space or a relaxed and peaceful seating area.
To the rear of the property, and accessible from the kitchen, sitting room and ground floor bedroom there is a courtyard garden that is divided into zones, largely dictated by the time of day and the position of the sun. The garden offers lovely seating areas to enjoy the tranquillity of the rural surroundings.
Frogs Hall Barn is one of three neighbouring properties. Each property has ownership of the section of driveway adjoining their property, and the neighbouring property has right of access over. Each household jointly shares the cost of maintenance of the driveway in its entirety.
The gardens and grounds amount to approximately 0.8 acres in total, with the bulk of the gardens being to the front of the property. There is ample parking and a 2-bay cart lodge with locked storage and a workshop to the rear.
