Wonderful barn conversion in an idyllic position.

Description

Occupying a delightful location with stunning views across gardens, private field and neighbouring countryside, Home Farm Barn is an exceptional family home with internal accommodation extending to around 3000 sq ft. The property enjoys a number of retained character features offering flexible living accommodation. Sympathetically converted in 1985, the current owners have been in residence for over twenty five years maintaining the property to a very high standard with a number of improvements during their ownership.

At the heart of the property is the magnificent 29 ft reception room providing separate sitting and dining areas. This outstanding, triple aspect space provides a superb entertaining space and boasts impressive proportions, vaulted ceiling with original beams and Inglenook fireplace with a log burning stove. The kitchen is spacious and light with generous storage and bespoke traditional cabinetry, offering ample space for informal dining and convenient access outside. Complimenting the kitchen, directly opposite, is a well appointed utility room and a separate cloakroom.

The principal bedroom can be found on the first floor. This generous sized room features Velux windows and a substantial dressing room with en suite bath and shower facility. Across from the principal bedroom is an additional double bedroom with en suite bathroom accessed via a separate staircase. There is adaptable bedroom accommodation presented on the ground floor most notably a significant, dual aspect double bedroom with fabulous proportions and French doors on to a rear terrace. This space could also be utilised as additional reception room space if required. Two further bedrooms and a separate shower room complete the downstairs accommodation.

Outside, the delightful landscaped gardens have been exceptionally well maintained by the current owners to include a number of pleasant seating areas enjoying this spectacular setting. The gently sloping lawn and mature shrubbery benefit from far reaching views over the separate field to the east – the perfect place to relax and entertain. A charming brick built studio in the garden, formerly a cattle shed, now utilised as a home office/studio benefits from pretty garden views and ease of access from the main house.

The property is accessed via a private driveway to the west onto a gravel parking area. Alternative access to the field and house can be found on the south side. There are two garages and ample parking is offered for cars.
