Description
Ingleden Barn is a substantial Grade II listed barn conversion set amidst glorious gardens and grounds of about 2.8 acres. Originally part of the Ingleden Park Estate, the barn is believed to date from circa 1785 and it was converted in the late 1970s with later remodelling and updating, culminating in excellent family accommodation with good ceiling heights to most rooms.
Internal accommodation comprises a welcoming reception hall which is open to a substantial sitting area with wood burning stove. Double doors open to the elegant split level drawing room, also with wood burning stove, enjoying a triple aspect and lovely garden outlook and beyond. Off this room is a good sized study with fitted shelving. The dining room is another well proportioned room with views over the garden to the front and an external door.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of painted cupboards and a two oven AGA with space for various appliances. The utility room has further storage and space for white goods, and completing the ground floor is a cloakroom and a boiler room housing a condensing boiler.
A turned staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing with seating area overlooking the front gardens and countryside beyond. The principal bedroom also enjoys lovely views, and it has a vaulted beamed ceiling and built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms, one with en suite shower room and in addition, a family bathroom.
Ingleden Barn is approached from the lane over a private drive having a shared right of way with the other properties at Ingleden. Wrought iron gates open to the gravel drive winding around to the front of the house and a guest parking area.
The gardens are a delight and a particular feature, they are beautifully established with many specimen trees and herbaceous borders. There are terraced seating areas, a natural pond, tennis court and an indoor swimming pool with changing facilities and WC, garaging and various garden stores. The garden is partially bordered by parkland fencing and overlooks the adjoining fields and countryside.
