Description
This wonderful former farm and wheelwrights is approached through a gated entrance which leads to a secure parking area. From all aspects of the house and the grounds there are lovely views across its four acres. Built in 1872 of local iron stone, has undergone an extensive programme of modernisation during our clients ownership. This thorough enhancement has created a wonderful family home blending numerous period characteristics with modern features and functionality such as underfloor heating, a KNX fully automated home control system and a Sonos sound system.
The property is formed of the original wheelwrights house and a rear extension was converted at a later date. The ground floor enjoys a spectacular, vaulted kitchen/dining/living room created by the rear extension and leading directly onto the rear decking. Being the heart of the home this is a fine flowing space to cook, dine, relax and entertain. Off the living room is a striking wine cellar as well as a compact utility room. A ground floor lobby creates the adjoining link to the main barn with stairs rising into the main entrance hall with its contemporary and bespoke cantilevered staircase rising to the first floor.
From the hall is a library with fitted bookcases and with a beautiful parquet floor; a separate fitted office, downstairs wc and a fully tiled bathroom. Furthermore, there are two ground floor bedrooms, one with en suite.
The first floor has been arranged in an indulgent manner providing a principal suite with its own dressing area and enjoying a truly exceptional bathroom. To the other end of the first floor is a second bedroom suite featuring a spacious shower room.
Hill Barn Farm enjoys many further features externally to include a single storey, self-contained annexe just inside the gated entrance of the property. As part of the annexe structure is the main boiler room for the property with further accommodation currently used as gym, beyond that enjoys its own en suite shower room.
The established well stocked gardens and grounds are extensive and have been tastefully landscaped to fully enjoy the sunny aspect. A large decked bridge leads from the rear of the property, overlooking a delightful and natural duckpond, flanked by cypress trees to one side.
A large studio, with windows into the garden is a versatile and light space making an ideal office. It is sited in front of the well protected heated swimming pool with its surrounding by a decked terrace with a productive vegetable garden, green house and raised beds beyond.
Beyond the more formal/leisure area of the garden, the drive leads to a small stable block incorporating 3 loose boxes and a hay store. The drive continues to a recently installed, substantial agricultural building measuring 100ft by 25ft currently in use for car storage with electric doors, agricultural storage and currently home to a golf simulator. The land towards the rear of the plot is arranged into five enclosed paddocks, currently used for alpaca breeding, but could be ideal for equestrian use, with a field shelter, together with a belt of mature woodland In all extending to approximately 4 acres.
