Description

Constructed in 2000 in the style of a barn conversion, West Barn has been extensively refurbished throughout and offers spacious, flowing family accommodation. The property features four/five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a double-length garage, all set within plot of approximately 0.2 of an acre. Situated within a private turning, West Barn seamlessly blends modern living with charming character features, including exposed timber beams, solid oak doors and a stunning log-burning fire in the living area.

The property opens into a welcoming entrance hall with exposed beams, under-stairs storage and access to the downstairs W.C. The main living room, set to the front left, features bi-fold doors to the garden, exposed beams, a brick fireplace with a wood burner and front and rear windows. A dual-aspect study with built-in shelving is also located off the hallway.

The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home, boasting a range of new units and integrated appliances. An informal dining or reception area extends from the kitchen opening to the garden. The utility room offers further storage and access to the gardens. A well-proportioned, double-aspect dining room, accessible from both the main hall and kitchen, completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to the loft, airing cupboard, four bedrooms, and the family bathroom. The spacious principal bedroom includes an en suite. It also connects to a dressing room or bedroom five. Bedroom two overlooks the rear garden and features an en suite. Bedroom three is a generous room offering countryside views. Bedrooms four (and five) are at the front, alongside the main family bathroom. The house has been fitted with Karndean flooring throughout.

Outside
The well established, southwest-facing rear garden features a variety of mature plants and shrubs. Primarily laid to lawn, it begins with a patio seating area, accessible via a side gate or bi-fold doors from the living room. Extending further to the rear is an additional section of the garden laid to lawn. There is a double-length garage and parking to the front.

Services
The property is connected to mains water and electricity, with oil-fired central heating and a Klargester septic tank drainage system. An annual service charge of approximately £750 covers the upkeep and maintenance of the communal areas and shared drainage system.
