3 bedroom barn conversion

With black weatherboarded elevations to the northern aspect and an addition showcasing flint on the south-facing side, The Barn is an intriguing property which provides light and airy accommodation with stylishly designed interiors and rooms arranged over a single-storey. The vaulted, open-plan reception rooms comprise a sitting area arranged around a fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, with an adjoining dining space, and sliding doors leading to the entertainment room, where two sets of bi-folding doors give access to the beautifully manicured garden providing a seamless inside to outside living environment. Fitted with bespoke oak cabinetry topped with granite work tops, the kitchen has integrated appliances and a door out onto a covered courtyard for sheltered al fresco dining. The integrated appliances include two Gaggenau multi-function ovens, one with integrated microwave, Gaggenau warming draw, Gaggenau steam oven, Neff five ring gas hob and Miele integrated dishwasher. The length of hallway gives access to the study and bedroom 3 offering excellent options for home-workers or spaces for guests. The bedroom accommodation continues in the easterly-wing of the home with two generous double bedrooms, along with a bathroom featuring a freestanding, roll-top tub. The principal bedroom also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and a well-appointed en suite shower room. At the end of the hall there is a large utility area which currently accommodates a gym in addition to being a home to domestic appliances.
