5 bedroom detached house for sale

A generously proportioned barn conversion in a large plot with varied gardens and characterful interiors

Description

Northfield Barn is an attractive barn conversion on the western edge of Faldingworth village, ideally placed for village amenities and open countryside. The property was converted into a home in 2009 and is a characterful building, built on a single storey with extensive use of glazing affording excellent natural light. The house is set within a large plot of approximately 1.20 acres, with two separate enclosed gardens perfect for entertaining, a generous lawned area to the rear with a solar array and huge scope for landscaping, and a selection of outbuildings which offer great potential for conversion, subjected to obtaining necessary consents.

The house is modern internally, with character details including exposed brick details and wood doors and floors, which are complemented by a neutral backdrop of muted colours. The highlight is the expansive reception room, with its vaulted ceiling crossed by exposed beams, a deep brick inglenook fireplace and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the courtyard. The layout is arranged into four separate "wings", making each area of accommodation feel very private. In the centre of the home there is the large sitting room, adjoining dining room and kitchen, with the eastern wing housing the two bedrooms, a shower room, utility room and WC. On the western side of the house there are two further bedrooms and a shower room, while the main bedroom is situated on its own with a dressing room and bathroom, accessed via its own corridor for an extra level of privacy. The house provides a total blank canvas for the new owner to personalise or remodel to their own tastes, and as such it provides a huge opportunity for development, subjected to obtaining necessary consents.

The house sits within a large and very private plot of about 1.20 acres, on the edge of the village with farmland to the rear. To the front there’s an enclosed courtyard with a built-in barbecue that’s perfect for entertaining, with a gravel driveway running along the side of the house to a separate walled garden, a workshop and a garden store. The rear garden opens to a paddock with a solar array and a vegetable plot.
