Lytchett Matravers, Poole, Dorset

This is a stunning and truly superb barn conversion within a rural setting in a friendly community. Once you come down the lane to approach Owls Barn, you are taken by the sense of calm.

Owls Barn entices you to step through into the large, light ENTRANCE HALL. The large oak front door, leads you in and opposite, timber doors cleverly slide into the wall and open out into the superb open plan KITCHEN/FAMILY SPACE. A row of French doors bring light into the entire room and open out into the glorious garden. This really is quite an exquisite family space; a contemporary fitted kitchen with quality appliances - all new in 2017, including dual fuel Rangemaster™, Samsung™ American style fridge freezer and a wine fridge. The adjacent and large UTILITY ROOM houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. The open plan family space also includes a family friendly DINING AREA which flows into the generous FAMILY SPACE with comfortable sofas and a contemporary wood burner at the far end. A perfect space within the house and it brings the garden in. Just off the utility room is an incredibly useful STUDY/HOME OFFICE, set off from the main living areas you really feel like you are out of the home environment.

Walk back into that stunning entrance hall and to the sitting room, family room and ground floor bedroom. The SITTING ROOM, a charming large but cosy room with windows overlooking the garden and a double patio door giving direct access into it. This is a superb family space, especially with the wood burner for cooler evening and characterful beamed ceiling. However, you also have the official FAMILY ROOM like all other rooms in this glorious home, is full and light and has a very contemporary feel to it, again the many windows and patio doors bring the light and garden in. A built-in bookcase cleverly houses the TV. The GROUND FLOOR DOUBLE BEDROOM does have its own external entrance door, it has an ensuite shower room too, which could make a convenient ANNEXE.

Stairs from the entrance hall rise to a stunning LANDING SITTING ROOM. This is not only an original idea but offers another area for quiet contemplation overlooking the very pretty courtyard. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is light, large and utterly delightful, windows to three sides allow daylight to flood in and an opportunity to stargaze at night. The DRESSING ROOM with wall-to-wall wardrobes opens into the ENSUITE shower room. Three further DOUBLE BEDROOMS, two with built-in wardrobes are all charming and light and the FAMILY BATHROOM has a bathtub and a large walk-in shower.

Outside
Quite frankly, the garden is enchanting. Wide areas of lawn with a smattering of mature trees for shade and tranquil wild pond with an area of decking, a sublime spot to sit quietly and reflect. From the kitchen and family room you step out onto a large TERRACE offering plenty of space for outside entertaining - either dining or casually sitting with friends and family. Steps down take you to a sun bed area and the SWIMMING POOL, absolutely perfect for warm summer days or for those seeking a regular form of exercise. Adjacent is the POOL HOUSE, ideal for changing wet children! Wander further down this luxurious garden and you will stumble across the STABLES. There is so much scope here, STPP, for a home office, annexe or studio. In all the grounds extend to almost 1 acre (STMS).

The PARKING is to the side of the property, with its own driveway and there is plenty of room for vehicles.
