Description
Property Description: Guide Price £650,000 - £675,000. Cottage only by name, this beautifully presented three/four bed barn conversion is set over three storeys and has no shortage of space. The light and bright property has been thoughtfully decorated to a high standard and has a charming back garden that really comes into its own during the spring/summer months.
You enter a spacious front porch with gorgeous arched windows, tiled flooring, painted ceiling beams and an exposed stone wall which immediately sets the tone for this stylish property. Through a charming ledge and brace door is the heart of the home; the open plan kitchen/dining room which combines contemporary convenience with rustic design and has a lovely welcoming feel to it. The striking Rangemaster stove with modern 5 ring induction hob provides a perfect example of this blend of modern and homely styles and the gorgeous flagstone flooring and Farmhouse style sink give a sophisticated nod to the property's rustic origins. There is a range of integrated appliances including a microwave, a dishwasher, a fridge freezer, a concealed washing machine, and a Neff warming drawer, adding a touch of luxury. The central island offers additional workspace, integrated storage and seating, making it a perfect spot for casual dining. Connected to the kitchen, the dining area has a gorgeous exposed beam, in-built storage cupboards and shutters on the window, where you can enjoy southerly views of the decked terrace from the quaint window seat.
Through a set of part glazed French doors, the kitchen leads into the impressive tiled garden room with an exposed stone wall. With integrated blinds to each window, this spacious room has a 180 degree picturesque view of the southerly facing decked terrace and garden, and is flooded with natural light, providing the perfect sanctuary to relax in during the day. The decked terrace can be accessed through another set of French doors making it ideal for alfresco dining. On the other side of the kitchen, there is a cosy sitting room with painted beams, engineered oak flooring and another window seat. The open fireplace with marble surround adds to the snug atmosphere and makes it ideal to retreat to in the evenings and winter months. At the front of the property there is a beautifully light and bright study which could also be used as a fourth bedroom. There is a WC under the stairs with a ledge and brace door.
A charming painted staircase leads to the first floor where more ledge and brace doors reflect the rustic aesthetics of the ground floor. The double height ceiling gives it a lovely airy feel and ornate cornicing and a ceiling rose adds a touch of grandeur to the space. The principal bedroom has fabulous southerly views of the rear garden. There is a stylishly tiled en-suite with a shower and a good sized dressing room with a storage cupboard adjacent to the principal. The bedroom at the front of the property is a good sized double and has countryside views of the beautiful hills near Worminster. Sun streams through the south facing window of the generously sized family bathroom which has both a shower and a free standing roll top bath as well as a double vanity unit with Victorian style basins. There is an airing cupboard on the first floor landing with storage space.
The second floor has been transformed from an attic space into an impressive bedroom suite. Built into the eaves, two Velux windows keep the bedroom light and bright and there are two large storage cupboards. At the end of the room there is a dressing room as well as a large en-suite with a shower and a sizeable Velux overlooking the south facing garden and village beyond.
Outside: The attractive rear garden is private, full of charm and has been thoughtfully designed. From the garden room, French doors lead out onto a decked terrace providing ample room for entertaining, with plenty of space for a mix of garden furniture to relax. There is another decked terrace area with a pergola which currently houses a hot tub but could also be used as an outdoor dining area. The garden has a variety of gravelled terraces with a variety of shrubs and planting, as well as a circular area laid to lawn and surrounded by shrubbery. There is a stepping stone path that runs through the centre of the lawn leading to the focal point of the garden; a quaint octagonal summerhouse. Perfect for the warm summer months, this provides a shaded space to sit and relax. Concealed behind the summerhouse, a timber store provides useful storage, a delightful balance of structure and greenery. A pathway leads down to the greenhouse and composting area, surrounded by a mix of mature shrubs and trees. The garden is enclosed with a combination of brick walls and wooden fencing. On one side, there is a dwarf wall which allows you to enjoy the stream that runs the length of the property.
