Set well back off a quiet, narrow country land on the edge of the hamlet, Higher Spriddlestone Barn has a commanding position with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. The main house is presented to the very highest of standards and offers well-proportioned accommodation with large windows allowing natural light, to flood in. Higher Spriddlestone Barn was converted in the 1980s and has subsequently been refurbished to a very high standard by the current owners, who have created a wonderful country home which perfectly blends its older origins with contemporary styling. These refurbishments have included converting an adjacent, smaller barn into a wonderful guest cottage which also provides an office/treatment room alongside a single garage and workshop, with a self-contained apartment above. Both barns are built of local granite and roofed in slate, with mellow red brick detailing around its many windows.

Original architectural fittings have been incorporated where possible including areas of exposed stone, beams, and ceiling timbers plus exposed roof timbers. The main house also now boasts a first floor balcony with fantastic, sweeping views, a veranda, several glazed doors that allow the house to be opened to the garden and fireplaces in the drawing and sitting rooms. The kitchen/breakfast room is positioned centrally forming a family-centric hub and is fully fitted incorporating a gas range cooker, a large central island, quartz work surfaces and a stone tiled floor. The first floor offers three bedrooms and a large walk-through playroom/TV room, which could also be used as an occasional bedroom. The main bedroom is a gorgeous haven of tranquillity, with double doors leading to a balcony with superb far-reaching views, a beautiful en suite bathroom and full length dressing room, fitted with wall-to-wall shelving and hanging. There is also a family shower room.

The Loft
The Loft is a beautiful, detached stone built barn which mirrors Higher Spriddlestone Barn across the gravelled turning circle, ensuring both properties are totally independent of each other and afford a high level of privacy. The Loft is currently used as workspace/treatment room with self-contained apartment above. The apartment is as beautifully presented as the main house and offers self-contained accommodation comprising a large bedroom with en suite shower room, a well-appointed kitchen, and a sitting room with vaulted ceiling. On the ground floor alongside the treatment room, is a small entrance lobby, a storeroom, and a garage. The Loft benefits from its own parking and outside seating area with garden which is screened by a mixed shrub border. There is a small arboretum planted with a delightful mix of broadleaf trees and fringed by a deep, richly planted border.

Garden and grounds
Higher Spriddlestone Barn and The Loft are approached via a wide stone pillared entrance which opens out to a large, gravelled driveway with turning circle. The gardens are stunning, being largely laid to lawn and level. There is a full width brick paved terrace to the rear of the main house offering dining and seating areas with access from the garden room. There are well established and colourful flower beds and borders, a herb rockery, and wisteria clad stone walls. There is a summer house/shed.
