About
Kiln Byre is a striking unlisted barn conversion offering over 4,100 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation, which has been beautifully remodelled and extended to an exceptional standard.
Set within approximately 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds, the property blends traditional character with contemporary living, making it an ideal family home, with the additional benefit of annex potential.
Originally dating back to the mid-19th century, the barn has been sympathetically transformed to provide flexible and well-proportioned living space, all finished with a meticulous attention to detail.
A long private drive, lined with mature parkland-style orchard planting, leads to the house which enjoys a peaceful southerly aspect and wonderful far-reaching countryside views.
A generous area of gravel driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, and there is also an adjacent open barn car port, if required.
The accommodation has been designed to make the most of natural light and views, with French and bi-fold doors allowing easy access to the outside from almost every room.
A roof terrace and striking apex windows create a further seamless connection between this charming home and its exceptional setting.
Oak is used extensively throughout, from exposed trusses and beams to bespoke wardrobes, windows, doors, flooring and detailing, giving the house warmth, elegance and character.
The living spaces within this home are very generous.
A superb open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room forms the heart of the home, and has been completely refitted by the current owners with an Eridge Green bespoke kitchen with stunning slate tops.
The attention to detail is first class, with deep cupboards, thoughtful lighting and excellent storage options.
Quality integrated appliances such as the Neff Pyro oven, Siemens dishwasher, Inksinerator waste disposal and Quooker hot tap, are all included.
The adjoining oak-and-glass garden room features slate flooring and underfloor heating, and bi-fold doors on either side lead to the 2 terraced areas of garden.
This has a “broken plan” connection to the kitchen, being divided by a striking double-sided woodburning stove.
A few steps up, and there is a wonderful further reception room, currently used as a TV sung and additional home working space, and which in turn leads to the charming roof terrace.
This beautiful space enjoys uninterrupted views over the surrounding valley countryside that flanks and surrounds this property.
Other reception rooms on the ground floor, include a drawing room and home office, the former of which is dual aspect and has a woodburning stove.
Both are characterised by their beautiful open beam work. There are also two cloakrooms, set at either end of this spacious home.
The house provides six spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms, three with both bath and separate shower.
The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, vaulted ceilings, and a luxurious ensuite with bath, walk-in shower, twin basins, and beautiful tiling.
The layout really lends itself to flexible living, with scope for guest, teenage or au pair accommodation, or even gym/annex use.
Storage is also excellent within the house, with inbuilt cupboards and eaves access in plentiful supply.
The entrance hall has a particularly impressive bank of fitted cupboards, perfect for coats, shoes and everything else that comes with a busy family life.
Outside, the house is complemented by a variety of formal and informal garden areas, thoughtfully landscaped and planted with mature shrubs, flowers and fruit trees.
These include a walled garden with herb beds and flowers, a scented garden, a cutting garden, and large terraces from both the drawing room and the kitchen area.
A post-and-rail paddock enjoys sweeping countryside views. Additional facilities include a large store, greenhouse, open bay double garage and ample driveway parking.
This property is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial barn conversion combining character, craftsmanship, and flexible modern living, all within a superb countryside setting and the most impeccable and beautiful of styling and presentation.
