Description
Hartwell Barn is a spacious barn conversion in a semi-rural setting.
Stone and brick construction under a slate roof.
The property offers extensive (approx. 5,200 q ft GIA) and versatile accommodation on two floors with potential to create an integral annexe.
Hartwell Barn forms part of a range of extensive traditional agricultural barns since converted in 2002 to provide four generous and exclusive barn conversions.
There is a nod to more Roman times too where it is believed the whole farmyard was on the site of a Roman Villa and thus the round pillars topped with staddlestones. Certainly unusual and unique.
The make up of this small exclusive development means you form part of a very small community in a lovely rural setting. Whilst your privacy is protected, the cluster of dwellings means you are not isolated.
More interestingly, the property has the feeling of being both a barn conversion and a conventional house – so more a hybrid. This means you enjoy well-proportioned rooms, generous ceiling heights and windows/roof lights, allowing natural light to pervade throughout. Of note are the two principal reception rooms particularly the family/dining room with vaulted ceiling and galleried landing; stunning kitchen/breakfast/living room; gym/bedroom seven; study for working from home and principal bedroom suite.
There is attention to detail throughout particularly the kitchen and bath/shower fittings, oak flooring, double glazing, generous conservation roof lights, underfloor heating on the ground floor, ceiling light tunnels, marble tiling and Grohe bathroom taps.
The open plan kitchen/breakfast/living room has a range of full height, wall and base units, twin butler sinks, granite surround, integrated four oven electric Aga with an extractor hood over with other integrated appliances by Miele include an oven, dishwasher and fridge and freezer. The central island has a granite work surface which incorporates a breakfast bar and a stainless steel sink. There is laminate flooring throughout, glazed doors to the side and full height windows and doors overlooking the garden and stone paved terrace to the front, all making for perfect summer entertaining.
Electric double solid wooden gates open to a gravel driveway which leads to the barn and a paved parking area and double garage beyond. The level, walled gardens have been landscaped with a central lawn flanked by mature herbaceous borders and beds containing a variety of shrubs and Italian oak trees. An extensive south facing stone terrace spans the full width of the barn at the front and is accessed by doors from the kitchen/breakfast/living room and the two principal reception rooms. There is a private courtyard garden to the rear with water feature, mosaic flooring and planting which catches the evening sun.
Double garage of brick construction under a slate roof with two separate electric up and over doors and a range of built-in storage cupboards.
Location
