About
Overlooking far-reaching views from its enviable position in this premier hamlet, The Oak Barn is an immaculately presented three bedroom detached barn offered with no upward chain, residing within an established 0.4 acre grounds approach by a private gated entrance.
Being bordered by the tranquil countryside of Marchington Woodlands, this characterful former cowshed originally dates back to the 1800s and now offers thoughtfully designed interiors finished to an exceptional standard, featuring impressive vaulted ceilings and beams complemented by modern fittings and a versatile layout ideal to suit couples, families or those also needing space to work from home.
A standout feature of The Oak Barn is the extensive outside space, offering ample private parking, beautifully established formal gardens and sweeping lawns from which far-reaching countryside views can be fully appreciated.
Enjoying an idyllic rural setting, this individual home perfectly combines the tranquillity and charm of country living with the convenience of a highly desirable and well-connected location.
A five bar gate opens into the 0.4 acre grounds, where there is ample parking and access into the formal gardens and lawns.
The front door leads into the reception hall, featuring a wealth of exposed beams and a gallery onto the landing above, with bespoke thumb latch doors open into two spacious and characterful reception rooms, a study and the breakfast kitchen.
Also to the ground floor is a large utility, a cloakroom and a modern shower room, presenting the option for a ground floor bedroom if required.
