Description - We are delighted to offer for sale this individual, detached period barn conversion, believed to have been former piggeries for the neighbouring farmhouse before being extended and converted into a dwelling in its own right in 2005. The property forms part of a small pretty hamlet of period homes with an initially shared driveway leading to an extensive private parking area for Lower Waytown Farm. The extensive mature gardens wrap around this character home property with two large ponds, a delightful stream with bridge and a block paved BBQ area. This is certainly a benefit for the property adding to the diverse grounds on site amounting to 3.29 acres in total.

Accommodation - The accommodation is arranged in a chalet bungalow style, briefly comprising large entrance hall leading into into a farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room, which has plenty of space for a table and chairs. From the kitchen, there is useful utility room, downstairs shower room and stairs that lead up to the first floor. The impressive vaulted ceiling open plan living room/dining room is dual aspect room with doors that lead out onto the gardens, stone fireplace with a woodburning stove and a dining area and bar which is overlooked by a galleried landing on the first floor. Also on the ground floor, is two double bedrooms with the master bedroom having an en-suite bathroom and built in wardrobes. On the first floor there are two further bedrooms with the largest room having an en-suite shower room and stable door and steps leading outside, ideal for an independent teenager.

Outbuildings & Equestrian Facilities - From the parking area, a gated private driveway leads to a large modern barn which is divided into ten individual stables, tack room and garaging, ideal for equestrian buyers. We believe this could have potential to be converted into a separate residential dwelling under Class Q planning laws, subject to the relevant permissions.
From the barn there is a former sand school and enclosed sloping paddock, wooded copse area as well as access via a country lane/track to the hamlet of Foxdown which leads to the village of Parkham ideal for horse owners and dog walkers, as one of the biggest problems we find with some properties is not having the ability to ride straight out of the property onto country lanes.

Services - All mains water and electricity. Private drainage. Oil fired central heating.
