A brand new barn conversion

Description

This former cow shed has been brought back to life by the current owners who have meticulously renovated the barn to a high standard throughout with much attention paid to the little details. The barn now offers light filled rooms offering flexible accommodation, stretching to nearly 4,000 sq ft, across two floors including accessible rooms on the ground floor. Much care has been taken to retain the rustic charm of the barn, with exposed beams and brickwork throughout, whilst providing the modern conveniences a family needs, such as underfloor heating on both floors. The owners have taken steps to make the barn as energy efficient as possible, including installing solar panels, as shown by the EPC rating of a C.

The barn is approached via a private 1 mile drive, with electric gates, off the A425 through beautiful open countryside. Entering through the front door brings you into a welcoming double height entrance hall, with guest cloakroom, leading through to what can be a second sitting room, play room or family room with sliding doors to the terrace. The impressive open plan kitchen / family room is just over just over 19 feet wide and 50 feet long, has a vaulted ceiling with beautiful exposed beams, five sets of sliding doors to the terrace as well as electric sky lights providing wonderful natural light. To one end is the sitting room with a wood burning stove with the kitchen at the other which features an island with breakfast bar and induction hob. There are double ovens, two dishwashers, two tall fridges and a built-in freezer. A back kitchen / utility room houses another oven with induction hob, washing machine and cloakroom. Finally on the ground floor are three super-king size en suite bedrooms, two of which have been made accessible with wet-room style en suite showers.

The first floor comprises a gallery over the entrance hall that would make a great reading nook. Further rooms off the landing include the principal bedroom with exposed beams, a porthole window and en suite shower room, a second en suite bedroom and two further bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom. All bedrooms fit super-king size beds.

Externally, to the front, is a private block paved driveway with plenty of parking and two EV charge points. The garden, wrapping around two sides of the house, provides a newly turfed lawn area, which will be maintained by a robot lawnmower, and three sun drenched terraces for alfresco dining including a bistro terrace for morning coffee at the front. There is also a reinforced area with power and a hot/cold external water supply should tenants wish to install a hot tub. Additional paddock circa 3 acres available by separate negotiation.

Services
Two calor gas fired boilers, mains water and electricity, private drainage. Eight solar hot water panels.

Please be advised this property sits on a working farm where activities include arable and livestock farming, heavy machinery, shooting and fieldsports. There are turkeys in an adjacent barn in the later half of the year. The drive leading up to the property is shared with other properties and the farm.
