Additional Information

The property has external lighting, gas-fired central heating, double-glazing, and an alarm system. The owners of the Blakehouse Farm properties bought the 8.5 acres that surrounds this farm-style hamlet and indeed all land surrounding these properties belongs to the owners; thus protecting the views to a large extent. This land is currently leased to a local farmer and used predominantly for grazing (sheep grazing).

Garden

The property occupies a delightful plot within this former farmyard, with the current vendors having the choice of all properties when the development first commenced and chose this particular barn conversion for its wonderful setting and gardens. There is a vast array of beautiful gardens, complementing the home superbly. The most substantial portion of the garden is found to the side/rear, benefitting from a huge amount of planting of shrubbery and trees over the years to create an exceptional private and mature space. There is a good-sized shaped lawn adjoining farmland which is collectively owned by the Blakehouse Farm properties, thus securing its future. There is also a stone patio accessed seamlessly via the sitting room, as well as a further sitting out/dining area and a summerhouse with raised decked area and beautiful shingle roof.

Parking - Double garage

The property benefits from a good-sized double garage with Loggia to the front and two up-and-over doors. The garage is fitted with power, light and water.
