The Property - Providing nearly 1,900 sq ft of usable floor space, this remarkable home is larger than many 4 bedroom properties and represents outstanding value. Indeed, the gallery study above the sitting room can be used as an occasional fourth bedroom. This superb barn conversion gives you the best of both worlds - a modern home created within a characterful period building with a wealth of fine exposed heavy oak timbers. The spacious L-shaped sitting room with wide-opening double-glazed bi-fold doors offering a seamless connection with the outdoors, has a gallery over part with the remainder of the room rising to the full height of this fine building. An impressive kitchen/dining room is the other principal living space and a utility room, walk-in pantry and cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor.
In addition to the versatile gallery over the sitting room - study, family room or occasional bedroom - the first floor provides three bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room.
Of timber frame and solid brick construction under a pitched slate roof, the house benefits from double-glazing and gas fired central heating.
The Outside - Alder Barn forms part of a complex of former farm buildings arranged in a quadrangle around a central courtyard. The courtyard, which is accessed from Back Street, provides parking. There is a small annual Service Charge, currently £120 (reduced to £110 for prompt payment) for maintenance of the parking area and associated flower beds.
There is a small terrace, laid mainly to artificial turf to the front of the barn.
