Description
Barn Cottage is an impressive and sympathetic conversion of a Sussex barn providing flexible family accommodation, successfully converted by the previous owners some years ago from a period brick barn, former cottage and milking parlour, which now forms part of the main house but does provide the opportunity for use as a separate self contained unit, if required. There is a degree of refurbishment required particularly to the main bathrooms.
The elevations are brick, part weather-board beneath a tiled roof with the single storey annexe addition being brick, colour-washed white beneath a slate roof.
The interior is spaciously planned with exposed timbering, oak floors, sealed unit double glazed windows, and oil-fired central heating.
The main features are:
• Recessed entrance porch and arched oak front door to entrance hall, opening through to spectacular living room - inglenook fireplace and wood burner, door to garden. Breakfast area and adjacent fitted kitchen with exposed brickwork and timbering. The good sized dining room also has doors to garden.
• From the kitchen/breakfast area a door leads to the integral cottage section which has a separate front door to a hall, study, utility room, shower room and boot room.
• The separate drawing room has doors to the front courtyard and staircase to bedroom 4 with en suite shower room.
• From the living room there is a side hall with cloak/shower room, boot room and door to the attached self-contained annexe.
• The main staircase from the drawing room leads to bedroom 1 with built-in cupboards and spacious en suite bathroom with both free-standing bath and separate shower. There are four further bedrooms, two of which have en suite shower rooms and are approached by separate staircases.
