St Giles In The Wood

Shepherds View is a delightful barn conversion, set in an idyllic rural location with beautiful grounds & gardens extending to approximately 1.37 acres. The original building is believed to have been a shippon, dating back approximately 150 years and in recent years has been subject of numerous improvements by the current owners, now offering over 2000sq ft of superbly presented accommodation, the majority of which being on the ground floor.

Approached via electric entrance gates, a long private driveway leads onto a brick paved parking area with the modern stable block and double garage to either side, continuing onto the property via a second set of wooden gates.

Once inside, the well proportioned accommodation offers a tasteful blend of new meets old, with the improvements being undertaken in a sympathetic fashion including tasteful décor with a mix of quality floor coverings and oak internal doors.

The modern kitchen is equipped with a range of integrated appliances and a centre island making this a great social space which flows through to both the spacious conservatory and the large lounge with feature multi fuel burning stove and the round house addition, providing a stunning spot to enjoy the wonderful vistas whilst French doors provide access onto the garden.

3 good sized double bedrooms each have the benefit of well appointed en-suite facilities – the master bedroom in particular is a great space with a feature vaulted ceiling and Devon tiled flooring together with a spacious & stylish shower room and useful laundry/utility room.


Outside Space

Beautiful landscaped gardens surround the property on three sides and enjoy a great deal of privacy and seclusion with numerous vantage points taking in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Sweeping, undulating lawns will be found populated with numerous mature trees & bushes whilst a series of patio areas, covered & uncovered, provide plentiful seating & entertaining spaces.

An ornamental fish pond is home to a collection of koi carp whilst raised beds and stone chippings provide attractive formal gardens to the front of the property.
Additionally there is a further area of garden beyond the stables – most recently used as a secure enclosed area for the dog kennels - which could be utilized for vegetable plots, fruit cages or a chicken run, or simply to be enjoyed in addition to the rest of the wonderful outside space.


Double Garage & Stables

The large double garage is a great addition whether used purely for housing vehicles or as a workshop space. There is also great scope for those seeking space for dual occupancy or a possible additional income by way of Airbnb, with a kitchenette and shower room on the ground floor together with two first floor rooms, ideal for a bedroom & living room with the latter benefiting from a wood burner. Equally, this presents an ideal space for those seeking to work from home.

A modern purpose built 14m x 7m (max) stable block benefiting from power & light and having only ever been used as dog kennels, comprises 3 individual good sized stables with a large tack room and covered veranda to the front.
