A sensational barn conversion with versatile accommodation and far reaching, rural views.


Description

This fabulously appointed stone barn conversion was constructed in 2014 by Herewood Homes and occupies a discreet, edge of village position, within Adam Frost designed gardens, from which there are attractive, far reaching southerly countryside views.


Approached a private driveway, which provides off road parking for several vehicles with access to a garage, a stone flagged path leads though a pretty parterre garden to the front door, which is positioned within a double height granary wall of glass.


The house offers generously proportioned and versatile accommodation, with a fabulous flow for entertaining and great finishes. It combines period barn features, like exposed timbers and stonework walls, combined with modern, contemporary finishes and, with its oversized ground floor layout and connectivity to the gardens, is ideal for entertaining. It is a stunning family home.


Accommodation: The front door open into a 31’ reception family stairwell hallway, dressed as a formal sitting and dining room, with French doors to, and fabulous views of, the gardens. This is a perfect space to entertain and sets the scene and feel to the house, complete with oak flooring and wood burning stove.


To the left, a home office, with built in units and French doors to the garden, has attractive south facing views and provides an ideal work from home space, or playroom. Bedroom five, alongside, is also currently a second home office, with built in wardrobes, with a large cloakroom/W.C alongside.


To the right, the 21’ kitchen, to the west, has a contemporary feel, with a wall of south facing bi-folding doors opening to the garden’s terrace for inside-outside entertaining, whilst its vaulted ceiling and exposed A-frame timbers and accentuates a sense of space. The limestone flagged room has a fabulous wooden suite with an extensive array of wall and base units beneath Silestone worktops, incorporating integrated appliances, including two dishwashers and a Smeg dual-gas & electric range. A central island offers ample breakfast bar seating for informal dining, whist a walk-in pantry additional storage, and a utility room, which also doubles as a boot room, a secondary external access.


The kitchen flows into a second, 27’ family dining room, with vaulted ceiling, A-framed timbers and oak flooring, with two sets of east-facing French doors that open to garden, framing a contemporary wood burning stove.


Ground-floor double bedroom 4, with built-in wardrobes and its own set of French doors to the garden, together with a well-appointed en suite shower room, completes the ground floor accommodation.


From the reception family stairwell hallway, the oak staircase rises to an oak floored galleried landing, beautifully lit by the floor to ceiling glass windows, which serves the three first floor bedrooms.


The principal suite combines a spacious dual-aspect bedroom, with dressing room and luxury en suite bathroom, complete with double sinks, free-standing roll top bath and a spacious walk-in shower. There are a two further double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, served by a full-suite family bathroom, bath and separate shower.


Outside: The gardens have been professionally designed by Chelsea award winning garden designer, Adam Frost. They combine formal lawns with flowering borders and terraces, providing spaces for fun and for formal and informal dining, overlooking fields. There are also fruit and vegetable beds, encouraging an abundance of wildlife, whilst the borders also incorporate herb beds, alongside fruits such as Strawberries, Blackberries and Raspberries and fruit trees such as Apples, Pears and Plums to provide all year interest. An irrigation system supplies water throughout the garden.


The property is approached via a private driveway which provides parking for several vehicles as well as access to what was a double garage, with electric doors, but is currently a single garage and home gym, with an electric car charging point.
