Meadow View Barn

Sitting on the cusp of it's almost one acre plot, this stunning barn has been completely reimagined. It's rare to find a home where every last detail has been so carefully designed, where everything new somehow seems instantly at home, as if it were all meant to be. That's Meadow View Barn in a nutshell and what a fantastic achievement it is.

You can sense the care that went into the total renovation of this home, where the beauty of the past meets the demands of the present in quite a visionary way. The bespoke renovation has only just been completed, meaning fixtures and fittings are spanking new and the decoration is just 'so'. Starting in the kitchen, where on-point modern flourishes seamlessly pair with the historical features and bold flashes of aubergine effortlessly combine against the thick white stone countertops. Beautifully curated with Neptune Kitchens, the kitchen absolutely nails modern functionality, with an array of sophisticated storage solutions and stylish lighting with the perfect layout to maximise the social aspect of a heart-of-the-home room. It's a hugely practical space which exudes warmth and texture, whilst taking full advantage of those enviable garden views which literally roll away towards the valley beyond. The brave decision to completely wash the dining area in Farrow & Ball Cinder Pink is an absolute triumph and one we particularly adore.
There's plenty to love about the kitchen dining space but the rest of the barn leaves so much more space to spread out into, for work, rest and play.
The double storey vaulted entrance hall is another breath-taking view, where the carefully chosen muted colour scheme between the array of aged wooden beams is illuminated by the staged lightning, a vision you just need to see in the flesh, much like the sitting room which is another awe-inspiring space with room for all the family.
The bedrooms, all with their own personality are a recipe of fun, sultry, warmth and a sumptuous retreat from the shenanigans. With two bedrooms downstairs next to the ground floor shower room, the other two are upstairs which leaves a wonderful divide of privacy between them, either for families or guests. The master suite is a real pop of fun, with plenty of built-in storage and the stunning ensuite where you have the luxury of the roll-top tub of the walk-in shower to choose from.

We're excited that despite this being 'perfectly finished' there's still scope to for you to go further within the undeveloped wing to this barn. Easily adapted to be merged with the main bones of the barn or converted into a more separate space, the versatility and choice is there to suit any individual need, all obviously subject to planning.


Outside...

Sitting in a well-proportioned plot of just a smidge under an acre, the barn sits comfortably on the edge just beyond the sweeping driveway. The grounds are mostly laid to lawn beyond the enclosed courtyard terrace which is beautiful at dusk beneath the illuminated pergola. An old, detached brick outbuilding rests next to the driveway in addition to a couple of the other brick sheds.

The Important Bits...

Meadow View Barn is a Grade II Listed Building, therefore all relevant permission must be sought for any considered works. The current owners have literally just finished a major refurbishment of the entire property, where no stone has been left unturned. The kitchen has been specially designed by Neptune Kitchens, colour specialists from Farrow & Ball have curated the canvas throughout and Interior Designers have hand selected all the finishing touches such as lighting and furniture. Meadow View Barn is available for sale 'as seen', or fully furnished as some may say, so what you see is literally what you can get! The heating is oil fired central heating and the drainage system is connected to the mains.

Franks Thoughts...

Serious - Fun, that's the delightful contradiction of this home and that's what makes it so perfect for a family who appreciates the alchemy of a beautiful space.
