DESCRIPTION Wickhampton Farm Barn is a wonderfully appointed barn conversion positioned within idyllic gardens and paddock approaching 1.54 acres (stms). Constructed of yellow brick elevations under thatched roof the property is described as a 5-bay threshing barn which underwent an outstanding conversion in 1991 by the current owners.

The conversion was meticulously planned to enjoy perfect orientation with views and access out over the grounds, the barn enjoys a fascinating array of exposed beams, exposed brick, double glazed galvanized Crittal windows with English oak frames, and a spiral staircase with views down towards the principal rooms.

The barn flows beautifully with access from the entrance hall to all ground floor rooms which include the studio with fitted butler sink, lower snug and kitchen with a lovely brick floor. The views out over the grounds are quite spectacular and are enjoyed via French doors.

The extensive bedroom accommodation is located off an impressive spiral staircase which takes center stage within the property.
