Wood Norton Road, Stibbard

SUMMARY:
This charming barn conversion has been a home for the last 29 years and provides equestrian facilities or the ideal opportunity for a small holding. The property is sited on a plot totalling 2.2 acres (STMS) and offers five bedrooms, an open plan kitchen/dining/family room and two further reception rooms - making it fitting for multi-generational living. Externally there is garaging and off-road parking and the barn is located in a peaceful and quiet location. 

GROUND FLOOR:
A front porch leads to the entrance hall, with a door then opening to a bright and spacious open plan kitchen/dining/family room, with a further opening to the orangery. The most striking aspect is the views over the garden and paddocks - especially for equestrian lovers, who can enjoy seeing their horses in the back paddock. This superb space provides a social environment, whether it is family coming together or hosting large parties - Pound Barn will make all feel welcome.

A separate sitting room provides space to retreat to; with an open fire place and dual aspect windows - this is another area flooded with natural light. Beyond the sitting room is an extension housing two double bedrooms and a snug - perfect for those who are looking for somewhere where two generations can live together. Additionally, the ground floor is complimented by a shower room, utility room and a boot room. 

FIRST FLOOR:
A landing with exposed beams and 'Velux' windows provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bathroom has recently been refurbished to create a relaxing space to unwind after a busy day and the bedrooms, at each end of the barn, are bright, airy and packed with character - a superb retreat for one to recharge.  

OUTSIDE:
Pound Barn offers flexibility for those wanting equestrian facilities or a small holding. To the front of the property a gravel drive provides ample parking and leads to the double garage, whilst the lawn, hedge and pond attract an array of wildlife. The rear garden and paddocks benefit from their own access - useful for a horsebox or similar. Adjoining the barn is a patio area - a superb space for a morning coffee or to host large parties and create happy memories. Beyond a picket fence is where the magic starts - the current owner has loved waking up in the mornings and seeing her horses and goats in the field. There are a number of stables and sheds to house garden tools and provide appropriate shelter for animals. A variety of paddocks create separate areas, whilst the tree house and summer house have provided optimum hiding spots for children as they have grown up.
