Description The Old Byre is an exceptional natural stone barn conversion situated in the rural hamlet of Sevington near Grittleton. The barn is set within the most beautiful landscaped gardens of nearly an acre coupled with a further 2 acres of adjoining paddock which has been newly planted with a variety of trees. Sympathetically converted in 2002, the barn displays magnificent character throughout and has been superbly updated by the current owners and finished to a high standard. In 2021, the heating system was upgraded to an air source heat pump which benefits from the remainder of a RHI grant generating around £1,750 p/a. The substantial accommodation extends to around 2,190 sq.ft.  The ground floor opens to an entrance lobby which has a cloakroom off and convenient cupboard for coats and shoes. The impressive kitchen has been reconfigured boasting a high vaulted ceiling and was more recently refitted in 2022 with a stunning bespoke, handmade British kitchen from Kesseler Kitchens with sleek Dekton worktops finished in a stylish, black stone with golden veins. Within the kitchen there is a range of integrated appliances including a full height fridge, combination oven/microwave, dishwasher, and a WiFi activated oven and hob. Adjoining the kitchen there is a utility room with access into the garage. At the heart of the home there is a spectacular drawing room with a galleried mezzanine floor above. Glazed doors flow out to the wonderful garden and there is a cosy wood-burning stove. Stairs lead up to the mezzanine floor which has been remodelled to incorporate a separate office in addition to versatile reception areas. The bedroom accommodation is located on the ground floor and comprises three double rooms all with a lovely outlook to the garden. There is a family bathroom, a bespoke-fitted dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom to the main bedroom.  The barn has retained its traditional and most attractive colonnaded frontage which presents a picturesque backdrop to the formal garden. The garden has been the subject of much time and devotion creating an idyllic, private haven to enjoy landscaped into various areas. A large patio terrace adjoins the entrance and kitchen end and has been designed as a covered pergola with heating, lighting and a stone-built BBQ cover. The principal formal walled garden has a block-paved terrace leading onto slate stone paths which meander through the vibrant, well-stocked flower beds. A curved central lawn features a wooden pavilion style gazebo by The Lapa Company at the centre. Beyond, there is a vegetable garden featuring timber raised beds, a greenhouse and timber shed. A five-bar gate opens to the side garden which is an enchanting private arboretum leading to the 2 acre paddock which has also been newly planted with trees. A gravelled driveway is accessed through a double five-bar gate and positioned in front of the garage.  Sevington is a pretty hamlet situated between Grittleton and Yatton Keynell. The popular village of Grittleton has amenities including The Neeld Arms public house, church, tennis and cricket clubs. Yatton Keynell is an excellent and sought-after village located on the edge of the Cotswolds within a conservation area.
