4 bedroom barn conversion

2 Home Farm Barns is a stunning converted barn now forming a charming family house with spacious accommodation. The property is being marketed for the first time since it was converted in 2004, and has been very well maintained and is beautifully presented throughout. The front door opens into a bright reception hall with tiled flooring and leads directly to the main living room at the rear of the house. There is an attractive brick fireplace housing an electric wood-burning stove, and full-height glazed doors allow in plenty of natural light creating a very light and spacious room. The double doors open out onto the delightful terrace and garden. The impressive adjacent kitchen/dining area is linked via double glazed doors, creating an ideal entertaining space. The kitchen has been recently re-fitted with a range of smart wooden kitchen units, a Belfast sink, leathered granite work tops with unique full height feature ‘pocket door’ larder storage. There is also a study/snug/office on the ground floor, and a cloakroom. Upstairs there are four good-sized bedrooms with part-vaulted ceilings and skylights for natural light, and elevated views over the surrounding landscape. The principal bedroom has a well-appointed en suite shower room, and the family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary, free-standing bath tub and separate shower cubicle, both of these bathrooms have large scale ‘Rainfall’ showers.
Outside
The property is approached down a gravel drive and there are two parking spaces on the smart brick paved driveway at the front of the property, separated by a path edged with attractive box hedging. There is an additional parking space in the open-bay car port opposite the house. The fabulous large rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and backs onto open countryside, providing wonderful far-reaching views and creating a rural feel. There is a large paved terrace adjoining the house providing an excellent space for outdoor entertaining, with direct access from both the kitchen and sitting room. Brick retaining walls edge the patio, with steps leading to the elevated lawned section of the garden where further seating areas take advantage of the fabulous views. There is a private side access to the rear of the garden.
