A particularly deceptive conversion of a former period brick and pantiled barn, offering an impressive level of accommodation lying in excess of 3100 sq ft, in the main laid out to a single storey and occupying a landscaped corner plot within this highly regarded and much sought after village.

When the property was originally converted it was done so with a great deal of thought and attention to detail, retaining much of its original character with many rooms offering vaulted ceilings with exposed king post, truss and purlins, exposed internal brickwork, deep skirtings, solid timber cottage style interior doors with impressive exposed brick chimney breast and fireplace to the main sitting room.

In more recent years the property has seen a tasteful programme of modernisation combining both contemporary and traditional elements, with tastefully appointed kitchen with integrated appliances, modern bathrooms and ensuite and relatively neutral decoration throughout.

The property offers a light and airy feel with many rooms offering dual aspects. The main sitting room is a particularly impressive reception having three quarter height double glazed windows and bi-fold doors flooding this area with light and looking out onto an attractive landscaped courtyard style garden.

The property boasts two main reception areas leading off a spacious central hallway with cloakroom and additional bathroom off, well appointed breakfast kitchen again with high vaulted ceiling leading into a formal dining room with double doors offering the potential for an open plan everyday living space.

The property offers up to four bedrooms, the largest benefitting from ensuite facilities and again all rooms offering vaulted ceilings with aspect into the courtyard garden.

To the northern end of the property located off an inner hallway is an additional annexe style facility providing what could be a completely self contained level of accommodation, perfect for extended families or teenagers, or even subject to any necessary consents, AirBnB type facilities. This area has its own utility and kitchen area, shower room, first floor bedroom as well as a pitched roof reception room overlooking an enclosed courtyard garden at the rear.

The property occupies a pleasant plot within this small close setting, set back behind a contemporary walled and fenced frontage which provides a secure enclosed and tastefully landscaped low maintenance garden, having generous paved and decked terrace, contemporary pergola and attractive water feature screened behind mature beech hedging.

Electric sliding gates give access onto a generous block set parking area and a large attached garage.

Overall the only way to truly appreciate this interesting and deceptive home is by internal inspection.

Cropwell Butler has a public house and village hall and is conveniently placed for both the A46 and A52. Further amenities are available in the adjacent village of Cropwell Bishop including primary school, local shops/post office, health centre, public houses and church with further facilities available in nearby Radcliffe on Trent and Bingham.
