Detached barn in Aston By Budworth

A stylish three bedroom detached barn conversion, occupying a generous garden plot in a wonderful rural location on the edge of the Arley Estate.

The property forms part of a small cluster of period cottages, situated at the end of a long and winding private road, bordered by open fields and areas of woodland, providing magnificent walks into the grounds of Arley Hall. 

The house, which is built of brick under a tiled roof, has been converted from a former agricultural building creating a stunning home befitting this unique location. Featuring beautiful hand carved gable framed windows and a charming Loggia walkway cantilevered over the entrance pathway. 

A gated gravel driveway provides secure parking space for several vehicles, with generous mature lawned gardens extending to approximately 0.25 acres in all.

Inside the house, a generous reception hallway features attractive natural limestone tiling, which extends into the downstairs WC, as well as the spacious kitchen-family/dining area.

There are two principal reception rooms, including a large lounge with an Inglenook fireplace, and two sets of glazed double doors that open to the front onto a stone-flagged and oak frame Loggia walkway.

The kitchen is open to a large, dual-purpose reception space, currently used as a study and dining room, and with underfloor heating that runs throughout. Front and rear-facing windows offer pleasant views over the gardens.

The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of traditional-style cabinets, complimented by contrasting granite worktops. It also includes a large range cooker, slimline dishwasher, and separate under-counter fridge and freezer.

Adjoining the kitchen is a utility room, featuring built-in cabinets and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, with an external door leading out to the rear.

From the entrance hall, a turning staircase leads up to the first-floor landing, where partial views of the woodland can be seen through one of the two feature gable windows.

There are three generously sized bedrooms on the first floor, each offering unique spaces and plenty of character. The large master bedroom features a side-facing window and built-in storage under the eaves. The second bedroom enjoys front-facing views of the courtyard, visible through a stunning oak framed gable window. The third bedroom is of double proportions but would also make an excellent office, enjoying splendid woodland views.

The bathroom, located off the landing, is fitted with a modern white three-piece suite. This includes a bath with wall-mounted mixer taps and an overhead thermostatic shower, a concealed cistern WC, and a wall-mounted washbasin.
