PROPERTY
The Old Flint Barn is a superb, spacious and versatile family home of significant substance being a converted traditional brick and flint agricultural building, set within the cluster of old farm buildings, some of which remain as they were. As part of the conversion works, that were believed to have been done in the 90’s, the property benefited from a completely ‘in keeping’ extension to the side, enlarging the accommodation to around 3,117 sq ft, whilst retaining much of the original character such as the turret windows and the former barn door opening, that is now principally glazed to the garden. The property is not listed and benefits form double glazing throughout. The accommodation in brief comprises a panelled front door with side screen windows to either side and opens into an entrance hall with stone tiled flooring and welcome mat well, exposed beams and features the stairs to the first floor and doors lead to a cloakroom, study/snug and into the drawing room. The drawing room features a bressummer beamed fireplace with exposed brick chimney breast, full height windows and door to the rear and turret windows to the rear. The garden/sitting room has a tiled floor and features two sets of French doors to the rear, a window to the side, all with internal plantation shutters. The dining room has tiled flooring, a window to the side, turret window to the rear, glazed doors to the garden and into the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen/breakfast room has windows to the side and rear, a tiled floor and features a range of base and eye level units, Corian worksurfaces, island unit/breakfast bar, inset electric hob with extractor above, double bowl resin sink unit with separate filtered drinking water tap, integrated Bosch dishwasher, two Bosch electric fan ovens and a wine fridge. The breakfast area features a window seat and fitted larder cupboard and drawers. The utility/boot room has a worksurface with space and plumbing below for automatic appliances, space for an upright American style fridge/freezer and a door leads into a playroom/bedroom/potential annexe accommodation.

On the first floor a galleried landing with reading/study area and walk-in airing cupboard leads to four bedrooms, the master of which has windows to the side and rear with internal plantation shutters, an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in dressing room cupboard.

THE OUTSIDE
With access from the track (private road) from the A134, the gravelled drive crosses the grass verge/green to the front of the property, giving access through the brick and flint wall to the driveway/ parking area to the front of the house and enclosed to either side by the garage and the former cow barn/traditional dairy building, that is detached to the other side of the courtyard and affords the property, further scope, subject to consent, for improvement. A high brick and flint wall encloses the majority of the rear garden, giving it a high degree of privacy from the neighbouring properties, with the garden being laid mainly to lawn with shrub and flower borders and a terraced entertaining area that is ideal for alfresco dining being south southwest facing.
