Description

The Dairy is a quality barn conversion done some years ago ahead of its time having zoned underfloor heating, solar panels and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. Particular attention has been paid to the zoned lighting with cat5e sockets throughout the open plan living area, with vaulted ceiling, incorporating a kitchen, leading to a separate boot room and undercroft. Double doors opening out onto a patio with steps leading up to the walled garden taking in some impressive views over the surrounding countryside towards the church.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the character, finish, sympathetic conversion of The Dairy. It is a truly beautiful Barn offering a wealth of warmth with use of natural stone, solid oak and plenty of natural light.
