Situated in a superb, rural position with far-reaching views over surrounding countryside The Well & Open barn are believed to date from the late 18th Century. Approached from Newton Hall Lane over a private unmade drive and bridleway the main property is of brick construction under a slate roof and has been altered and improved by the present owners in recent years, offering substantial and versatile family accommodation of 3800sqft with many period character features including exposed beams, stone flagged and oak floors and feature fireplaces. The house is in part future proofed for energy usage as a Ground Sourced Heat Pump central heating system is installed. This together with double glazing has helped it achieve a very good EPC rating of B.
This property also has a reserve Oil Boiler and Tank if ever needed.
Whilst described in greater detail, the property comprises four separate reception rooms in the main part of the house including a most attractive drawing room with feature cast iron fireplace and log burning stove, exposed beams and exposed floorboards. The dining room and sitting room also have feature fireplaces, with the sitting room having a wood burning stove and stone flagged flooring. The kitchen includes a range of fitted units and cooking appliances and the cast iron range enhances the character of the farmhouse kitchen. This room leads directly into a high-quality bespoke conservatory at the rear.
Beyond the utility room on the ground floor there is a further room with secondary staircase leading to the first floor. This area is ideally suited to those wanting ancillary accommodation for a dependant relative or family member.
The first-floor accommodation can also be adapted to suit individual needs. It currently provides a spacious and impressive master suite with bedroom and split-level dressing room and bathroom. There are four further bedrooms and a second bathroom and shower room, although the room at the top of the secondary stairs could easily be adapted as a bed/sitting room in a dependant’s annexe.
The Open Barn has been recently converted and extends to 1720sqft and would be suitable for a variety of uses and has the added benefit of planning permission to be a separate dwelling. This too has a Ground Source Heat Pump, separate from that of The Well which is again very economical to run rewarding this building with another very good EPC rating of B.
The accommodation in brief comprises of open plan living to the ground floor with underfloor heating and Cat 6 wiring, split into three zones of entrance hall with double vaulted ceiling, living area and a kitchen dining area with French doors to a paved terrace and views over a pond. There is also a ground floor shower. To the first floor, there is a master bedroom with ensuite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside
As previously mentioned, the property is approached over an unmade drive and bridleway that leads to the gated driveways to both properties, that could be separated off should someone wish to either sell or rent one of the properties out. The land extends in total to approximately 7.22acres (2.92 hectares) and it surrounds the Well & The Open Barn on all sides. A long shared tarmacadam drive leads to a large parking area in front of the house and the lawned rear garden has paved patio areas with flower and shrubs. A pond to the rear of the Open Barn provides a delightful setting. Most of the land is laid to grass, providing excellent grazing and is divided into three separate paddocks.
