An opportunity to purchase an interesting, individual detached barn conversion offering accommodation which approaches 1,650sq.ft., packed full of character and a wealth of features. This is a unique versatile home which offers accommodation over two floors with the ability to be utilised as purely single storey living.
The accommodation comprises an initial entrance hall which leads through into an impressive main reception large enough to accommodate both living and dining space, the initial reception area having a superb aspect up to a high vaulted ceiling above, galleried landing with exposed king post and truss, attractive fireplace and double doors leading through into a further versatile reception space. From the main reception is a well appointed kitchen having a generous range of Shaker style units and integrated appliances and benefitting from a dual aspect with windows to the front and rear. A further light and airy reception leading off the initial entrance hall creates a fantastic space having a beautiful vaulted ceiling and access out into the garden. The sleeping accommodation is particularly versatile in it's layout offering bedrooms to both the ground and first floors. The main accommodation lies to the southerly side of the barn, the ground floor master suite having double bedroom with fitted contemporary wardrobes and ensuite facilities, and further double bedroom and bathroom. To the first floor there is a further bedroom tucked away off an impressive galleried landing and a mezzanine area which is currently utilised as formal dining but would make a further unique reception space situation in the eaves.
In addition the property benefits from double glazed windows, gas central heating (with twin boilers) and relatively neutral decoration.
As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a pleasant, established plot, with a bias towards relatively low maintenance living. Set back behind an open plan lawned frontage with established borders with timber gates giving access onto a driveway at the side and, in turn, a south facing courtyard style garden with various timber decked and paved seating areas offer a relatively good degree of privacy. In addition the property is positioned on a leafy lane on the outskirts of the village but still within easy reach of the heart of Lowdham and it's wealth of amenities.
Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
