4 bedroom barn conversion

Lower Spernal Barn is a Grade II listed conversion which dates back to the 17th century and is full of character. There are exposed timbers throughout, stone flooring and double height ceilings. Barns that were originally part of the farm were converted into residential accommodation and sold, so the property is private but not isolated.

One enters the property via the impressive reception hall. The delightful snug is to the right through double doors, and to the left is the spacious drawing room. The dual aspect drawing room has a lovely wood burning stove in the corner and leads through to the dual aspect dining room with double doors opening to both the front and rear. The dining room is open to the kitchen/breakfast room which ensures this space works well as the hub of this family home. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of wall and base units, a Welsh slate worktop, and a central island with integrated appliances. The ground floor also has a useful utility and a cloakroom.

The first floor is accessed via three separate staircases. The principal suite, which comprises a double bedroom and an en suite bathroom, is accessed via the dining room staircase, which also gives access to the study. The second bedroom suite is accessed via the drawing room, with bedrooms three and four via the staircase rising from the entrance. All of those bedrooms are serviced via the family bathroom, which lies between the rooms.

A shared approach leads to the attractive tree-lined driveway to the carport. There is a large gravel area to the front of the property providing parking for several vehicles.

To the rear, there are wonderfully landscaped formal gardens with a well-placed patio, ensuring this is the perfect space for outdoor entertaining. Beyond the formal gardens is a paddock with plans for a stable block, ideal for the equestrian buyer. Detail of the planning can be found here
There are wonderful views beyond the paddock of the surrounding countryside and River Arrow. Please note that a footpath runs across the bottom of the land.
