The Property

Filby Barn is a wonderful single storey barn conversion in the heart of Docking. This stylish and comfortable home has a wonderful open plan living space, incorporating a well equipped kitchen, dining area, sitting room area with wood burning stove and two sets of French doors opening out to the fully enclosed garden beyond.

There are three good sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a fantastic en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three share a family bathroom with a full size bath and shower over.

Forming part of an exclusive development of converted farm buildings, Filby Barn is ideally situated in this very popular village, within easy walking distance of the fantastic local shop and the pub.

The kitchen is perfect for keen cooks with a range cooker, fridge freezer and a dishwasher. The open plan living space has a vaulted and beamed ceiling, giving a wonderful sense of space and a wood burning stove to snuggle up around in the cooler months. When the sun is shining you can open two sets of French doors straight out to the garden which is walled and private and has a patio with garden furniture to make the best of the warm weather and to enjoy some al fresco dining.

All three bedrooms are generously proportioned with ample space for king size beds. The principal bedroom has a wonderful original beam spanning the ceiling giving a feel for the heritage of the building.

Outside

There are two parking spaces to the front of the barn on the brick and weave driveway, a separate garage and a lovely walled garden to the rear.

The rear garden is fully enclosed, with a large patio area providing space for outside furniture, lovely flower beds edged with oak sleepers, an artificial lawned area and a back gate, leading to the bin store.
