About
This exceptional Grade II listed barn has been thoughtfully and sympathetically converted to create a striking family home, rich in character and beautifully balanced for modern living.
Generous proportions, flexible accommodation and an abundance of original features combine to deliver a truly special property.
Set within a private, south‐west facing walled garden and surrounded by open countryside, the barn enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting with excellent transport connections close at hand.
A full‐height vaulted reception hall forms a memorable entrance, with its fully glazed façade flooding the space with natural light and setting the tone for the impressive interiors beyond.
From here, the house flows into the magnificent main living area – a superb space for everyday family life and entertaining.
Double‐height vaulted ceilings, an exposed brick chimney with a double‐sided fireplace, and original timber beams all celebrate the building’s heritage while creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
To one side of the fireplace lies the drawing room, complete with a mezzanine reception area accessed via an oak staircase – a striking architectural feature overlooking the space below.
The drawing room leads into the former Old Dairy Wing, where four double bedrooms are arranged, two with en suite facilities, alongside a generous family bathroom.
This wing offers excellent versatility and can be configured to suit a variety of needs.
On the opposite side of the fireplace is the dining room, enjoying views over the garden and back towards the impressive hall.
Oak doors open into the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a central island, painted cabinetry and contrasting work surfaces.
Appliances include a traditional Aga, a professional 5‐burner gas hob with electric oven, and three refrigerators.
Beyond lies a large, fully fitted utility room, guest cloakroom and boot room, with internal access to the double garage and its fully boarded loft space.
A beautiful oak staircase rises from the main reception area to the principal bedroom suite.
This outstanding space features exposed timbers, a vaulted ceiling, a fully fitted dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom with twin showers, Travertine tiling and his‐and‐hers sinks.
The property is approached via a gated gravel driveway bordered by manicured lawn.
To the rear, the south‐west facing walled garden provides an idyllic setting for alfresco dining and outdoor enjoyment. The double garage with boarded loft space offers excellent additional storage.
