3 bedroom barn conversion

The Moongate comprises an attractive and deceptively spacious partial barn conversion in a quiet and secluded position. Upinor underfloor heating runs throughout all rooms on the ground floor and oil-fired central heating radiators upstairs.  Solar panels help reduce energy costs and carbon footprint.  The property is entered via a stable door that opens into a spacious boot room and morning/dining room with stone flagged floor and French doors leading directly out to the garden. To the left of the stable door entrance is a comprehensive utility room with sink, plumbing for a washing machine and dryer and an undercounter fridge/freezer space, all beneath a Silestone worktop.  Off to the side is a boiler room with full size sink, WC, cloaks/utility equipment area, electric box and SolariBoost water heating unit; French doors open out to the east garden.  Uniquely there is an area of exposed plaster with an inscription dating back to 1851.  Paddle steps lead up to an office/craft room above.

To the right is an impressive kitchen/central island area featuring a range of quality-fitted, auto-closing undercounter units, Elica extractor hood, a Franke double sink, integrated Neff oven, microwave, induction hob and dishwasher and Liebherr integrated fridge; all are complemented by Silestone worktops.  A travertine tiled floor runs throughout.  French doors to the side lead into the east garden.  A double-sided wood burner is shared between the kitchen and the sitting room which also has French doors facing onto a south walled garden.  Off the sitting room is a pitched ceiling office which could also be used as a library, craft/play room, or snug.  A further west-facing sitting room, that gets the late afternoon/evening sun, has a door leading out to the front courtyard. This area also contains a separate room with shower, WC, basin and bidet.  Dimmer switches are installed throughout.

A timber staircase with feature balustrade and stair lights leads up to a first floor with three double bedrooms, each with timber flooring throughout and all enjoying a lovely outlook across the gardens.  The main bedroom has fitted oak wardrobes with self-closing drawers, good hanging space and storage cupboards above.  Two bedrooms are fitted with dimmer lights.  A drop-down ceiling staircase in the east bedroom gives access to a fully boarded loft with sky light.  There are two light-filled bathrooms, both on dimmer switches and both with Villeroy and Boch dual basins, WC, bidet and Hansgrohe taps; both rooms have a spacious shower cubicle and there is a luxurious semi free-standing bath in the larger bathroom.

Externally the property is complemented by delightful gardens extending to 0.59 acres in total. They include a vegetable patch, orchard, lawn, and patio areas and a range of fruit bushes and trees plus a large potting shed and greenhouse. This is all enclosed by dry stone walled boundaries and is a very peaceful place to enjoy the open countryside beyond. There is also a stream weaving through the garden.

The property is approached via a tarmac shared drive and there is ample private courtyard parking for a number of vehicles together with a detached double garage with solar panels on a south facing roof. The Moongate would make an excellent family home or active retirement home.
