The Old Barn was formerly two barns that were joined in 1984, when the conversion was completed. The property offers characterful accommodation arranged
over two floors, with breathtaking living space. Features include a handcrafted staircase, elm floors and doors and exceptional landscaped gardens to the front and rear, which were designed by the current owner to complement and maximise the views.
From the welcoming reception hall with a floor to ceiling feature picture window, there is a large sociable open plan kitchen/dining area with 4 oven AGA, and a bespoke kitchen which offers a generous number of hand crafted elm and oak units.
On the ground floor there is a dual aspect living room, with working open fire and two sets of French doors leading out onto a spacious flag stone terrace and manicured gardens. Also on this floor is a large study, with built in dark oak shelving, and offering views over the private kitchen terrace. This spacious room could be used as a snug, playroom or separate dining room. Further down the corridor there is a self contained, useful utility room which leads into the garage and a separate W.C. Leading off the hallway is a charming cloakroom with an inbuilt cupboard for coats.
On the first floor is the spacious principal bedroom suite comprising double bedroom, dressing area and bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The property is approached through a five bar gate onto a private gravel driveway, with car parking space for several vehicles, and leading to an integrated garage, which also has access to the main house.
The mature gardens comprise terrace and lawn, with a wealth of plants and shrubs. There are spectacular views across the open countryside, which extend to Alfred's Tower.
In all approximately 0.36 acres. EPC: E.
