Description The Beeches is a Grade II Listed period barn conversion nestled within a unique small collection of period properties set around the former farmhouse rurally located between the villages of Grittleton and Castle Combe. Believed to date back to 1850 forming part of the Neeld Estate, the property was formerly the cattle barn and has an attractive traditional exterior with circular piers under a Cotswold stone roof with an abundance of original character internally. The barn was thoughtfully converted with large windows allowing the accommodation to be flooded with natural light coupled with high vaulted ceilings. The beautifully presented family sized accommodation extends in all to 2,842 sq.ft arranged principally over the ground floor level. The ground floor is entered through an entrance hall featuring a wood burning stove and has a WC off with flagstone flooring continuing to a spacious kitchen/breakfast room which has a range of well-fitted timber units, an AGA and other various built in appliances. From the kitchen there is a useful utility room. Double doors from the entrance hall lead to the dining room which is open plan to a large living room with both rooms enjoying a central double-sided wood burning stove and sliding doors opening to the garden. There are four good-sized bedrooms in all, two of which have en-suite shower rooms and all benefit from built-in wardrobes. The stylish family bathroom has both a separate shower and bath. Stairs up from the fourth bedroom accesses a charming converted attic room which makes an ideal playroom for children or a teenager's snug. Accessed through a five-bar gate off a long private drive, the property has a sweeping gravelled driveway to the front leading up to a range of excellent garaging providing ample storage or workshop space. The garden is arranged to the front, laid mainly to lawn with mature trees and paved seating areas.
