Description

South Barn was converted in 1995 by the current owners into an impressive family home with excellent accommodation. The original barn reputedly dates back to 1550 and the galleried landing, we understand, is dated 1754. There is a wealth of character throughout the property with quarry tiled floors, beamed walls and ceilings and latched doors.

The impressive accommodation includes a grand reception hall, double aspect drawing room, family room, study and a fabulous vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with mezzanine and a separate utility room. There is also a garden room that leads to a separate staircase up to bedroom 5 which has its own shower room and a small balcony with an external staircase too. NB potential annexe.

At first floor there is a large landing with picture window to the garden. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom and there are three further bedrooms (one with a mezzanine floor) and a family bathroom.

Grounds: The gardens are principally to the front of the house and are mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and hedge borders. The garden is walled to one side and there is outside lighting plus an area of decking in front of the dining hall.

Brick outbuilding: originally a stable block with light and power.
