Back Lane, Halam, Newark

A charming converted period barn tucked away in an idyllic setting within the beautiful rural village of Halam. Originally the milking shed for the local farm, dating back to the mid 1700's, The Barn was extended and converted in 1985 into a residential dwelling.

The front door opens into a generous hallway with views over the garden.There are 2 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a utility room all leading off the hallway so this property lends itself to single storey living if required.

Downstairs there is an high end, bespoke kitchen, sitting room and office space with exposed beams, traditional brick fireplace and solid oak floors which are indicative of the heritage of the building. There is a generous sized dining room accessed through double doors off the kitchen offering the opportunity to create a fabulous open plan entertaining space when required. The master bedroom, ensuite, dressing area and single bedroom are all upstairs.

The Barn is accessed via a private driveway leading off Back Lane.

To the rear of the property there is a lovely private lawned garden with patio.

Off of the courtyard there is a double garage with large car port with two huge storage rooms above that offer the potential for further development.
