Description
General - Dovecote Barn is a sensational barn conversion in an idyllic village location. The original conversion was completely transformed with the clever introduction of bold contemporary styling including open flight staircases together with glass walling maximising natural light in the property. The modernist styling perfectly complements the original features which include vaulted ceilings, exposed roof trusses and stone walling. The accommodation flows really well and briefly includes at the barn's heart, an open plan living area which includes the kitchen, family and dining rooms. There are two further reception rooms and five bedrooms spread over two floors together with an open plan living space on the second floor currently used as a yoga studio. Outside, a traditional outbuilding has been converted into a gym with guest suite and sauna over adjoining garage. It should be noted that this building has been designed for easy conversion to a self contained annexe. There is a beautiful walled garden with views towards the church.
Location - Shackerstone is without doubt one of the most exclusive and prettiest villages in the area and is set amongst some of West Leicestershire's finest countryside. There is a public house in the village and a highly regarded primary school which lies between Shackerstone and the neighbouring village of Congerstone.
