6 bedroom barn conversion for sale

Originally converted back in 2007, Snipe Barn has since been fully renovated and updated and is centered around a courtyard garden. The barn has extensive glazing and vaulted ceilings so is filled with light with a lovely spacious feel throughout.

Approached through a private and thoughtfully landscaped courtyard garden the front door opens into a spacious stone tiled entrance hall off which are the main living areas to the right and the bedrooms to the left.

Leading into the large sitting room there is floor to ceiling glazing to the south facing front garden, a feature fire-place with woodburning stove, hardwood timber flooring and open ceiling beams.

Next into the open plan kitchen/dining/family room which presents extremely well with a mix of hard flooring, French doors to the outside and again the lovely open vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is generously laid out with painted units under a combination of marble and oak worktops with belfast sink, range cooker and integrated dishwasher.

Beyond is the rear hall with utility and cloakroom and access into the courtyard.

The final accommodation on this side of the barn is a large bedroom with en-suite wet room. This bedroom would be great for guests or, equally, as an office - with the separate outside access from the rear hall offering some degree of independence from the main home.

The main bedrooms are arranged along the eastern side of the barn. Opposite the main entrance hall is Bedroom 5 which could also be used as a children's TV/play room. It shares a small bathroom with Bedroom 4. Bedroom 2 has an en-suite bathroom and Bedroom 3 an en-suite shower room.

The principal bedroom is a very striking room, large, airy and with lots of light coming through the south facing window and with a free-standing double ended slipper bath and separate ensuite shower-room.

Outside, the grounds of Snipe Barn are split between the front parking area, the private front courtyard garden and the open grassed area to the rear.

In total, Snipe Barn sits on approximately 0.5 acres, however for those who are seeking more land to enjoy, a further 10 acres could be made available, subject to further discussion.
