A beautifully refurbished home, full of character with a delightful garden in a semi rural location.

Description

Tucked away in a highly desirable and semi rural position, The Gallery is a stunning Grade II listed barn dating back to c. 1720 with stylish interiors.

The Gallery boasts accommodation extending to approximately 2,000 sq ft in total and is immaculately presented over three floors. The generous and welcoming entrance hall is stunning with a wealth of character features including exposed stone and Georgian brickwork, galleried with double volume wide front door, ‘arrow slit’ windows and exposed oak beams. Double doors lead immediately through to the Neptune designed kitchen with central island, Neff units, contemporary style cabinetry and to the dining area which is a wonderful space. There are double doors to the landscaped garden. Of particular note is the fabulous glass and oak framed extension off the kitchen providing a delightful modern reception room with pretty views of the garden.

On the first floor there are exposed stone walls and beams, three double bedrooms (one en suite) and the family bathroom designed by C P Hart with one of the bedrooms currently used as a study. A further galleried staircase leads to the second floor with vaulted ceiling offering the principle bedroom suite with bedroom, dressing area on the landing and a contemporary bathroom with freestanding bath tub and a walk-in shower. There are super views from the bedroom across surrounding countryside and towards Blackdown.

The low maintenance designer style gardens are delightful and offer an abundance of colour throughout the seasons with Wisteria on both east and west elevations as well as privacy. There is a well screened terrace providing a fabulous space ideal for al fresco dining in the summer months.

Off the driveway, there is a separate store room with a attached home office with power, underfloor heating, 1GB of data connectivity and light. There is additional parking on this driveway as well as directly in front of the house.
