The Cowl Barn
* The Cowl Barn is a fine home encompassing an abundance of charm and character. The original property is understood to date to the 17th Century and was extended during the early Edwardian era. This combination of periods makes for a very interesting home, with exposed beams and endearing features such as undulating floors to the first floor in the older part of this lovely home, a testament to the property’s age. Impressive and light rooms, with high ceilings form the later Edwardian part. * The entrance hall is complemented by parquet flooring and flows to the ground floor accommodation with the stairs leading to the first floor. * A fabulous, bespoke and hand-painted kitchen with central island provides ample storage and is the heart of this wonderful home. This room is lovely and light and is complemented by quartz worksurfaces, an integrated AEG electric cooker, Bosch induction hob and a cooker hood, with space for a full-size fridge-freezer. There is also an (truncated)
The Cowl Barn (continued)
* A dining/breakfast area adjoins the kitchen and has direct access via French doors to the patio terrace and garden. A box bay window and original stripped pine floorboards further enhance this lovely space. * There is a comfortable sitting room with wood-burner and bespoke, hand-painted bookcases with storage extending along one wall. This room opens to a good-sized family/TV room, which also benefits from a fireplace inset with a wood-burner style gas stove. To one side is a fitted bespoke utility room, where there is space for white goods and storage. * To the rear of the house is a modern shower room, a study/home office, and a charming sunroom which opens to the side garden. * Stairs from the hallway lead up to the first floor, where there are five bedrooms, two within the Edwardian extension. These later rooms are spacious and light, both with double aspect. The main bedroom has built-in storage and space for wardrobes.
The Cowl Barn (continued)
* The remaining three bedrooms are located in the original part of the property, with exposed beams and cosy atmosphere; all could accommodate a double bed. Please note that these three rooms have relatively low ceilings (190 cm/ 6’ 3” height) * There is a modern family bathroom with bath with shower over on this floor. * A box staircase leads to the second-floor attic rooms, which provide great storage and potential for other uses, such as a play/games room, or an office.
The Outside
* The property is situated almost at the end of a private, “no through” lane and a gated entrance leads onto a large, gravelled parking area and the detached double garage. * A large, established garden surrounds the property which has been partly landscaped by the current owners to create sweeping, curved flower beds planted with a variety of flowering plants and shrubs, which offer further potential for keen gardeners. * Two very old Yew trees form an open and dramatic gateway either side of the gravelled pathway that leads to the front of the property. * The main garden is lawned and planted with a variety of established trees and is bounded by mature hedging with areas of the garden being left natural for the benefit of wildlife. * The garden offers plenty of scope for keen gardeners but is also very manageable for those less green-fingered.
