Description

High Barn forms part of a collection of barn conversions, formerly agricultural buildings, in an accessible location surrounded by paddocks and open countryside. This semi-detached property was converted around 1999 and is of a solid brick construction under a tile roof. Though it is modernised, there are many character features remaining including exposed beams and brick detailing and an expansive brick fireplace. These are complemented by modern additions including a handsome wooden staircase and matching doors, large timber framed windows and stone-tiled floors.

The spacious accommodation has an inviting, well-planned layout and comprises a 30ft open plan living and dining room, a separate study/snug, a well-appointed kitchen and a utility room with adjoining WC. Upstairs there is a principal bedroom leading through a vanity/dressing area and a stylish en suite shower room, two further generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus a fitted dressing room/bedroom four.

The house is set on the edge of a courtyard, accessed through an archway, with parking to the front on a shared courtyard. Adjacent to the house there is a detached double garage which also has access from the rear. The rear garden is enclosed with hedge and fenced boundaries giving a feeling of privacy. A decked terrace adjoins the house where there is a hot tub and ample space for summer entertaining. The rest of the garden is level, laid to lawn and also features a central patio.
