Description

GUIDE PRICE £700,000 - £750,000

Situated on the outskirts of the charming Ovington village, this exquisite four-bedroom detached barn residence epitomises countryside elegance. It features formal gardens just shy of an acre and an additional four acres of pristine paddocks at the rear (STMS).

The heart of this home is the breath-taking kitchen/dining/living area, where a high-spec open-plan kitchen adorned with stone countertops and a substantial central island beckons guests. At the opposite end, a spacious dining room with glass doors leading to the garden has comfortably accommodated gatherings of up to 20 guests around its extended table.

Further into the property, a generously sized sitting room awaits, featuring a striking brick-built chimney breast, exposed beams, and a sizable log burner, adding warmth and character.

The ground floor hosts three double bedrooms, with the smallest currently serving as a versatile guest bedroom or study, ideal for a snug or playroom if desired. These bedrooms share access to a spacious family bathroom.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a luxurious retreat, complete with a high-spec ensuite shower room.

Outside, the property delights with a paved entertaining area directly accessible from the house, featuring a covered space utilised as a barbecue area by the current owners. Beyond lies an expansive formal garden, predominantly lawned and spanning nearly an acre (STMS). Adjacent to this lies four acres of paddocks (STMS), maintained as a natural meadow, with convenient access from the drive along the side of the house-perfect for those with equestrian interests or a passion for animals.
