There are so many ‘wow factors’ at West Knightacott Barn – both inside and out.

These range from the fabulous reception areas with vaulted ceilings and atrium windows, as well as bi-fold doors which flood the rooms with natural light and bring the outside in, to the standard of the bathrooms and fitted kitchen with appliances, not to mention the designer light fittings internally.

The clever landscaping of the drive and garden areas externally complete the scene, as the developer/vendors have created a special and individual home which is also energy efficient and eco-friendly.
