Castle Street, Farnham, GU9

A superb 4 bedroom grade II* listed historic barn dating from about we believe 1520 which has undergone a program of reconfiguration across the two floors and extensions and refurbishment in recent years. The barn is quite breath-taking as the attention to detail in all areas is quite superb and offers very comfortable and easy living
in this wonderful character home located in a totally private spot but close to all amenities.

Outside

The Old Barn occupies a very private location accessed from between no 7 & 8 Castle Street though electrically operated double gates (full height). There is parking for 2 medium sized cars on the driveway which leads to the front door. The rear walled gardens which are west facing have been redesigned and are quite beautiful in this surprising and charming location. There is a substantial terrace area ideal for relaxing, entertaining and al fresco dining in complete privacy. The garden itself has been re designed and landscaped into a tranquil and attractive garden with pathways leading around the lawns and up to the garden house /store. The gardens have been superbly planted and well thought out with an irrigation system and low level lighting. For a town centre location this walled garden is quite breath-taking and just superb in every way.
