Description
Mulberry Barn is a unique barn conversion with accommodation largely arranged on one level in a horse shoe shape configuration. The principal elevation is Cotswold stone, making it a home of character and inside, classic vaulted ceilings, some of which are beamed, show nods to its heritage. The orientation of the house allows for full views over a private central courtyard at the rear and broader lawned gardens to the front.
At over 3800 Sq Ft, the internal accommodation is flexible and with the addition of an annex, offers various usage including multi-generational living or as a potential income stream, should a prospective buyer wish. The current owners have made significant improvements to the house, carefully retaining the charm with a modern update making Mulberry Barn the most comfortable home with an immaculate and stylish finish.
Entrance is via a porch, with a cloakroom off and double doors that open to the sitting room, a beautiful space that overlooks the central courtyard. A fireplace is a feature to the room along with a series of full height glazed windows that flood the room with light. To one side is the principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom, built in wardrobes and doors leading to outside. To the other side, is a reception hall with a staircase that rises to a large room positioned above the sitting room, which the current owners use as a secondary sitting room/study, but it could also provide an occasional bedroom, or playroom should it be required. Also off the hall is the kitchen/dining and family room. Designed for entertaining and family life alike, this open plan space is particularly impressive with a vaulted ceiling and a range of modern cabinetry, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar for seating. A sitting area is next to bi fold doors that open to an expansive terrace and further to the garden, at the far end of the kitchen is a dining area. Off the kitchen is a utility room and a boot room that gives access to the internal courtyard.
Two bedrooms, one with an en suite and one next to a shower room complete the accommodation.
To the easterly side of the house is the annex, which has its own private and independent access. This lovely space comprises a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside
Lying low within its plot, Mulberry Barn occupies a tranquil and private setting nestled in its own plot of c0.6 acres. Electric gates are a grand entry to the house and gardens, with a sweeping driveway, bounded by a Cotswold stone wall, providing off road parking and access to the double garage. Hedgerow borders the formal gardens at the front, an expanse of level lawn that provide a wonderful setting for the house. The internal courtyard is a fundamental element to the overall feel of the house, arranged with patio terraces, a water feature, herb and flower borders, it is intrinsic and central to the design of the plot. The position is, without any doubt, one of the finest with the property immersed it in own acreage.
