Walpole Highway

A former cow shed and cart store transformed into a superb barn conversion that meets the demands of modern day living.

Positioned on grounds of almost 2 acres (STMS) there is ample room to cater for larger families or those that need to work from home.

Olive Drove Barn and The Piggeries welcome you through electric gates, down a long drive to a nicely tucked away location.

The inviting open internal space and mature gardens make this property a very unique proposition, the current owners refer to it as their safe-heaven.

With a sense of security and privacy, Olive Drove Barn is imposing and offers a sense of robustness, certainly built to stand for generations to come.

The hub of this superb barn conversion has to be the open plan kitchen/diner/sitting room. With a large kitchen island, vaulted ceilings and twin bi-fold doors that open to the outside patio area, it creates not only the perfect place to dine alfresco but is great for entertaining friends and families - at 42ft long this extraordinary space truly offers the wow factor.

The neighbouring reception room is equally as impressive. Dual aspect windows allow this area to be flooded with natural light whilst the inglenook fire place creates a sense of comfort. One can imagine cosy nights in sitting around the roaring fire.

There is also a separate reception room, offering a versatile option, used as a study or further sitting room.

Ascending upstairs, the principal bedroom stands out for all the right reasons. The vaulted ceiling and exposed beams - the synergy between exposed brick and render and an attractive Juliet balcony that gives view to stunning sunrises.

The Piggeries is the ideal guest house. If you are looking for multi-generational living or considering running your own business this addition to Olive Drove Barn is hugely beneficial . The same attention to detail is present here too - vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, log burner and air conditioning units - will make anyone's stay here extremely comfortable.

If peace, quiet and privacy is what you are looking for, Olive Drive Barn will deliver on that and more.
