Well-presented barn conversion with delightful gardens in the heart of the village.

Description

•The current owners purchased Crown Barn in 1999 when it had just been converted, so this makes it the first time on the market in 25 years.

•The property is of Cotswold stone construction under a reconstituted Stonesfield slate roof.

•The property enjoys a number of period features including open fireplace, exposed timbers and deep window boards.

•The property offers well-presented, light accommodation over three floors. Key aspects include a lovely central reception hall and galleried landing over with full height picture window and vaulted ceiling. Thereby allowing natural light to pervade throughout this space; vaulted kitchen and breakfast room with doors to the front and garden to the rear, establishing this room as very much the hub of the property; modern fixtures and fittings combine carefully with the charm of this delightful property thereby providing modern living amongst it’s age and charm; attention has been particularly paid to the kitchen, bath/shower rooms, ample built in storage cupboards, principal oak staircase and oak internal doors.

•Versatile bedroom accommodation with first floor snug and separate guest bedroom suite accessed from the study via the secondary staircase.

•Carefully and meticulously landscaped walled gardens providing formality through careful planting and several paved entertaining areas, to capture the sun at various times of the day. A timber pergola to the rear offers a lovely shaded seating area flanked by low box hedging.

•A tarmacadam driveway leads to the front of the property to an area of parking and double garage beyond. The double garage has light and power connected. To the side external stairs give access to a lovely bedroom suite ideal for guests or working from home.

•In all about 0.35 acres.

•This is undoubtedly a desirable barn conversion ideal for a modern family who want to take advantage of the space and privacy afforded by its position and, like the current owners, see themselves here for the next 20 or 25 years.
