A charming and exceptionally spacious five bedroom Grade II Barn conversion located in the sought-after village of Kingsland, over 3,400 sq foot

The Property
The Old Barn is a charming Grade II Listed (by curtilage) detached barn conversion situated in the beautiful and sought after rural village of Kingsland. Formerly standing within the boundary of the Grade II listed Croase House, it was also, reportedly, once used as the village theatre. The property now boasts superb proportions with vaulted ceilings, oak floors and a wealth of character features and original exposed beams throughout. Additionally, all of the bathrooms and the impressive kitchen and utility room have been sympathetically redesigned during the last two years.

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a spacious reception area with a limestone travertine floor which opens onto to an oak floored hallway which provides access to the 4 ground floor bedrooms, the newly fitted family bathroom which is complete with a striking freestanding bath, an inviting family room which has a panelled door leading to the rear garden, a sizable office with fitted cupboards and which has large windows to the front, and a useful storage area for hanging coats and storing wellies! All four bedrooms are spacious and able to fit a king size bed, and, in addition, bedroom 2 has the benefit of a newly fitted en-suite shower room. An oak staircase leads from the hallway to the first-floor and it is on this level that the spacious, vaulted sitting room with exposed original beams, the barn’s original brick wall and solid oak flooring throughout can be discovered along with the newly fitted kitchen equipped with limestone travertine floor and with beautiful fitted units and appliances, including a Smeg electric oven with induction hob, wine cooler, a double Belfast sink, a fitted fridge, and a generous larder cupboard. The utility room, off the kitchen, matches the kitchen design and provides useful additional storage with its own Belfast sink and conveniently houses a washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, fridge, a fitted freezer, a fitted microwave and the boiler.

The kitchen is open to a versatile family area with full height windows, offering views over the garden. The property also includes a separate dining room featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed original beams and oak flooring. Additionally, on this level, there is a snug providing a cosy area to watch TV, and a newly fitted cloakroom which pays homage to the Barn’s theatrical history.

On the second floor, an impressive galleried landing offers access to the master bedroom. This substantial room features a vaulted ceiling, exposed original beams, and, again, the barn’s original brick wall. The newly fitted en-suite bathroom with large shower, basin and toilet compliments the space, and is accessed through the walk in wardrobe area.

The Old Barn boasts both front and rear gardens, primarily laid to lawn, with well-stocked herbaceous borders throughout providing seasonal colour and interest with established trees and hedging.
