6 bedroom detached house for sale

A beautifully presented barn conversion and detached cottage in a delightful rural setting just outside the village of West Halton

Description

Glebe Farm was once a traditional working farm, now transformed into a stylish home without losing any of its original charm and character. The main part of the house is Grade II-listed and dates back to the 1800s, with an attached barn converted in the 20th century to a very high standard. Many character features remain, including the original front door pediment, sash windows, and internally, the original wooden staircase. The modernised barn conversion is attractively presented with stone and wood floors, exposed beams and a mezzanine with a glass banister, which complements the older part of the property. The house has been subject to an extensive programme of renovations during which every room was redecorated and improved, adding new en suite bath and shower rooms throughout the top floor. In addition to the main house, there is a separate self-contained cottage and further outbuildings providing additional scope for conversion.

Glebe Farm is a substantial home with generous proportions; with its four en suite bedrooms and the detached cottage there is good scope as a bed and breakfast and holiday let (subject to obtaining necessary consents), or simply retaining as a large family home. Within the original part of the house there are two reception rooms, a back kitchen and utility room, though most of the living space is within the 63ft open plan barn conversion, which has space for a sitting area, dining area and kitchen. There is also a bar, and a study area off the main living space as well as a useful ground floor shower room, cloakroom and WC. Upstairs the principal bedroom is located separately to the other rooms and has a dressing room and en suite bath/shower room. The remaining bedrooms are split between the new and original parts of the house and include three further en suite bedrooms and two doubles which share a family bath/shower room.

The Cottage is detached from the main house and fully self-contained, with two en suite bedrooms, a cloakroom, utility room and open plan living space and kitchen. There is planning permission for conversion of two additional outbuildings under the application number PA/2013/0847

The grounds amount to about 5.18 acres and include formal gardens, paddocks, terraces, ample parking and farmyards with a number of different outbuildings. The approach provides an excellent first impression, onto a formal lawn inset with a fountain, with grassed areas wrapping around the house. A large terrace to the rear provides a good space for entertaining. There is ample parking on the gravel driveway and within the L-shaped detached block which has carports, garaging, storage and a workshop. There are further outbuildings including a tractor store, kennel with dog run, a workshop and storerooms, which can be accessed by a separate entrance to the rear of the main house. The Cottage is situated separately and has its own garden and parking.
