Description

The Property
Church View Barn is a handsome barn conversion, believed to date back to circa 1757, and converted in 2008 to a high standard, with great thought given to the accommodation layout and functionality of the house.

The barn enjoys a brilliant mix of open plan living and conventional rooms, allowing a flexibility of living style and adaption of rooms to suit. The focal point of the house is the hugely impressive open plan living area, of about 12.8m x 9.7m, enjoying plenty of natural light with a dual aspect, and a large wood burner to one end. The kitchen/breakfast room is a further open plan area, with shaker style units, 4 oven Aga and limestone floors, again with a dual aspect and with direct access through to a more formal dining room.
The ground floor continues with a useful study, and a future proofing ground floor bedroom with en suite wet room. There is a useful utility and boot room, with direct access into the double garage.

The main bedrooms are on the first floor, accessed off a mezzanine landing. There are two main bedrooms at either end of the house, both with walk-in wardrobes and en suite shower rooms, and either are worthy of ‘principal bedroom’ status. There are a further three bedrooms, two of which are double rooms, and a family bath/shower room.

The house has a comfortable, welcoming feel and is a great space for entertaining on a large scale or hunkering down around the woodburner.

Outside
The house is approached over a gravel drive, through a wrought iron electric gate, set between an attractive curved brick wall. The walls continue around almost all the boundary. The drive leads to a spacious parking and turning area in front of the house, and adjoining the garaging.

The gardens are divided into two distinct areas to the front and rear of the barn. The main gardens are south facing, laid to lawn, with beds stocked with an assortment of shrubs, annuals and perennials making a wonderful area to enjoy. To the rear of the house is a further expanse of lawn, with herbaceous borders, and a large paved area complete with pergola, providing a lovely outside dining and entertaining area. Both the boundary wall and house are adorned with climbing roses, wisteria and espaliered fruit trees.

Within the grounds is a self-contained annexe, which has proven a great asset to the property. This comprises of a large living area, a double bedroom and a shower room and is ideal for guests, or an elderly relative or indeed as a studio or work from home space.
