Set at the end of Kingsmead a quiet, residential cul de sac, 'The Old Barn' sits behind solid wood gates that lead to parking for the property. The property itself has an attractive painted façade with a clay tiled roof and sits in a discrete and private position. Approaching the house through a handy storm porch, a magnificent period door with a port hole window provides access to an inner hallway. From the hallway you will find a useful ground floor study, perfect for those working from home or require an office/study space and doors to two further rooms. On the left is a quite incredible 30' drawing room which is accessed by a Jacobean style eight panel door, the atmospheric room has a solid wood floor, beamed ceiling, and bay window, along with a handsome open fireplace with a heavy beam over and stone hearth, which provides a superb focal point to the room. Beyond the drawing room is a spacious conservatory that looks out over an enclosed courtyard garden. To the opposite side of the entrance hallway, you continue into a characterful sitting room with a dual aspect and a solid stone staircase rising to the first floor to one end, to the side wall is huge inglenook fireplace with a stone hearth, internal lighting, and cast-iron bread oven. A pretty window seat adds even more detail, as well as a stone arch leading through to the kitchen, with useful storage area to the side. The kitchen is another traditional affair with its quarry tiled floor and farmhouse style cabinets, to the side of the kitchen there is a useful utility room and a ground floor cloakroom, along with a door to the side to gain access to the garden. On the first floor are the three bedrooms and three bathrooms which are accessed off a lovely galleried landing area, both the master bedroom and guest bedroom are en-suite whilst the family bathroom with its classic white suite serves bedroom three and of course visiting guests. The bedrooms benefit from either fitted wardrobes and/or under eaves storage and plenty of character. Outside, the Old Barn has a manageable garden which has been landscaped to provide great outdoor entertaining space, with mature planted borders an ornamental pond, pretty stone walls and a rockery area. There is also a large outbuilding which is ideal for those looking for a hobby room or external office, whilst in need of a little repair if could also provide great potential for further accommodation (subject to the necessary consent).
