Red Barn presents attractive partly mellow brick elevations with grey oak headers, together with wide sweet chestnut cladding under a principally tiled and leaded roof.

On the ground floor the superb 51' partially double-height sitting room/dining room/kitchen provides a wonderful space ideal for modern living which is flooded with natural daylight. The kitchen is fitted with attractive cream units with wooden worktops, integrated appliances, breakfast bar and large walk-in larder.

The spacious dining area is double-height with a feature exposed brick wall and wood-burning stove. To the other end of the room is a sitting area with two sets of large sliding doors leading out to the terrace and gardens. Adjacent to this room is a peaceful garden room with high ceiling, two doors to the garden and a beautiful 180 degree outlook. A utility room, cloakroom, and integral garage completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is approached by two oak staircases and provides a charming principal suite comprising bedroom and ensuite shower room, two further bedrooms, a further shower/wet room and a family bathroom. Other features within the property includes terracotta tiled ground floor, beautiful oak joinery and doors throughout and exposed honey coloured original timbers.

In addition to the main barn there is a detached annexe providing further flexibility. The annexe provides a studio /home office/AirB&B, kitchenette (currently no appliances) and a shower/wet room.

The property is approached from the lane via double wooden gates which give access to the property's drive which provides extensive parking. The parking area is bound on one side by the property's small paddock area which includes a Victorian well (with safety grill) and a "dead hedge" which is specifically designed to encourage wildlife.

An opening leads through a charming flint wall from the paddock area to the garden which has been attractively landscaped and planted with a wide terrace, lawns, well stocked beds, a central water rill feature and there is outside lighting. The detached annexe lies to one side of the barn. The gardens and grounds provide a lovely setting for this very special property in half an acre.
