This quintessential characterful home combines perfectly charm, stylish decor and modern comfort with the additional benefit of approx. 5.29 acre plot.
Upper Barn offers 2,496 sq ft of light-filled living space set across two floors with the welcoming hall just the beginning of the delights that follow.
A sleek gloss white and black kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units, integrated appliances, and central island with seating, and this in turn opens to the dining area offering ample room for family entertaining whilst enjoying a view across the garden.
The focal point in the sitting room is the open fireplace creating a cosy ambience for family relaxing on those chilly evenings.
