Description - With over 4,200 sq. ft, Faunstone Barn offers highly flexible accommodation, ideal for those looking for either multi-generational living or the ability to divide the property allowing for income potential. Sitting in a beautifully elevated position, and on a large plot, Faunstone Barn is approached through an automated gate giving access to a large parking and turning area with space for a number of vehicles. Venture over your own bridge to the front door and you are greeted by a glorious entrance hall with the Upper Floor accommodation all leading from here, including south facing garden room, utility/cloakroom and multi-functional studio sitting under a shaded veranda. On the other side of the hall, a prominent sitting room leads onto a balcony overlooking open farmland and countryside. Forming very much the heart of this exquisite home is the stunning farmhouse style kitchen/dining room with double aspect doors opening one side onto a Juliet balcony to absorb the surrounding landscape and on the other to a large south facing terrace. Open-plan yet cleverly separated by a central modern log burner, this beautifully light and airy room also showcases an additional family area giving a great space to relax whatever the weather. The aforementioned terrace also houses the detached home office and hydrotherapy tub; a truly special space to entertain family and friends. It is this floor that with some inspiration lends itself to perfect adaptation for multi-generational living or to separate into Air BnB potential (strc). From the central hall on the Lower Floor (currently used as a gym) is the fabulous master suite with separate dressing room and ensuite featuring bath and shower. Three further double bedrooms also enjoy ensuites and boast built-in storage. This floor also has an additional store and wine cellar.
Outside, Faunstone Barn sits on a generous plot of approximately 1.5 acres and is surrounded by beautiful gardens and paddocks with a separate garage/workshop adding to the endless possibilities on offer.
There are two schools of thoughts as to the origins of the word ‘Faunstone’. One is that it derived from the Middle English words “fayn”, or “fane”, which mean "glad” and became a nickname for a happy or good-natured person. The second thought is that it could have been a local name derived from the expression “at the van” which was an instrument connected to threshing. Whichever is correct, you can be sure this superb home will have you with a smile on your face and making some ‘thrashing’ good memories. Bursting with so many opportunities, this utterly magnificent home delights the imagination and viewings are highly recommended.

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
