Impressive barn in an elevated setting off a quiet country lane and with the very best equestrian facilities. About 8.7 acres

Description

The property is a beautifully presented detached barn located in a special landscape area and believed to date from the late 1700's and early 1800's.

It is built of clay lump and has an interior local oak frame with a cavity wall between, offering a high level of insulation. The exterior is part rendered under a clay pantile roof.

Internally there are a wealth of features including exposed timbers, oak and stone floors, vaulted ceilings and large windows allowing the light to flood into the interior.

The flexible ground floor accommodation is well proportioned with an impressive entrance hall giving access to the boot room and cloakroom as well as leading through into a spectacular double height hall with views out onto the stunning rear courtyard.

Leading off the inner hall is the spacious drawing room with French doors out into the courtyard and the sitting room, which benefits from a wood burner with bressumer over.

The dining room leads into the kitchen which has a combination of wall and base mounted units, fridge, induction hob, Neff oven and microwave, freezer and dishwasher. The breakfast room is light and airy benefiting from views across the lawned gardens.

The two eastern wings of the barn provide very flexible accommodation with one side accommodating two study's and the other could potentially be a self-contained annexe, both with separate vehicular and pedestrian access.
