Arnolds Keys are delighted to offer for sale Lime Kiln Barn, situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Heydon.

This five-bed barn conversion was originally built around 1800 and has been sympathetically converted in the 1990's – pairing a staggering 4,650 sq ft of contemporary, modern living space with traditional country charm, with original features including exposed timbers, brickwork and vaulted ceilings.

Built over two floors, and with five reception rooms this family home offers an unrivalled amount of flexibility to suit your family needs. The current set up on the ground floor means that you can entertain guests in the kitchen/breakfast room and sitting room, while the bedrooms are on the opposite side – creating a quiet and peaceful space to rest.

Entering the home, you are greeted by an impressive hallway which sets the feeling of this home throughout, with natural light streaming through the windows to both the north and south elevations, plus a beautiful central timber staircase leading to the galleried first floor landing. The high ceilings mean you will never need to wonder where to put the Christmas tree again in a room of this magnitude.

The natural light continues to flood this bright home with the kitchen/breakfast room's eastern elevation fully glazed and with access to the courtyard area, this is an ideal space for entertaining and soaking up the morning sun. For the designated family cook, the kitchen has everything you need to entertain. Ample storage in this room means you can safely store your ingredients and equipment to keep your worktops clutter-free. Integrated appliances including fridge/freezer and dishwasher and completing this impressive room is a total control all electric Aga. Beyond the kitchen/breakfast room is a good-sized utility room with further storage cupboards and space for the noisier appliances to be kept away from the main reception rooms. For all the dog owners, there is a shower room just off the utility room and a door leading to the courtyard, which makes this is a perfect space to wash your dogs after a long walk in the local countryside. This home is extremely dog friendly with the external space being enclosed, to allow for your pets to enjoy the 1.2 acres this property sits on.

Adjoining the kitchen/breakfast room is a 20ft sitting room with exposed brick to two of the walls and a log burning stove, where you can cuddle up in front of the fire with the kids on Sunday afternoons watching movies.

This property has a choice of two separate home office rooms with one directly off the sitting room, completed with vaulted ceilings and full-length windows to the front aspect. On the opposite side of the entrance hall is an almost mirror image room adjoining the 20 ft dining room which currently holds a dining table which can seat 12, but this room is capable of a much larger table, perfect for the dinner parties you could host at this impressive family home.

The current owners have commented that their family loves to visit as they feel like they have their own space, and this is no more evident than the ground floor bedrooms of this property. With four double bedrooms, with two which include en suite bathrooms and a further family bathroom servicing the other two bedrooms. If you felt that this home actually offers too much space then with a separate drive to the side of these bedrooms and a door from the courtyard, this could be a perfect location to create a bed and breakfast business (subject to relevant consent).

To the first floor of this magnificent home, which is accessed by the timber staircase you are first greeted by the spectacular panoramic view of the gardens through the full length floor to ceiling windows – a sight you will never tire of! This space also opens up to create a further reception room with vaulted ceilings and exposed brickwork.

Further on the first floor, is a generous principal bedroom which leads into a fantastic en-suite, with a four-piece suite comprising freestanding roll top bath, shower cubicle, high level w.c. and wash hand basin. But the space in this impressive suite does not stop there. It also benefits from a spacious walk-in wardrobe, with plenty of hanging space.

Within the car port you also have a door offering access through into the storeroom. The drive to the front also has a separate access to the side and rear of the property.

Just like the inside of this home, the outside space is also remarkable.
