Noke, Oxfordshire, OX3

Noke Place is a wonderfully converted 18th-century Grade II listed barn retaining many of its original features, such as the traditional timber frame in the original parts of the barn. Noke Place offers spacious accommodation with five bedrooms and open-plan living. Upon entering the property through the main entrance, full-width steps lead up to a large, open-plan reception area giving access to the dining room, living room and kitchen. Located centrally within the reception area, the dining room benefits from a spectacular double-height ceiling and doors to the garden. Beyond the central pillar is the living room. To the other side of the dining area is the kitchen with built-in electric Aga, a central breakfast bar and storage units. The kitchen opens into a utility room and porch, which can be independently accessed via an external door. A study is positioned at the base of the steps by the main entrance and opens into a corridor which has a cloakroom, a family bathroom, three double rooms (one en suite) and a family room with a wood burner and access to the garden positioned at the end. The first floor comprises a galleried landing off which is a large principal bedroom with a feature wood burner, built-in storage, and an en suite bathroom with shower and bath, and a second double bedroom with an en suite shower room.

The property is approached via a private drive with paddocks on either side. It has attractive gardens and grounds, a garage and a perfect west-facing outdoor seating and entertaining area.
