Long Lane, Shaw, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14

Description:
The vendors of the property have created an attractive and very individual property from a traditional farm barn. Once part of Highwood Farm the property is in a secluded location but is not isolated as the original farmhouse is still close by. The Barn has been very sympathetically converted so that a great deal of the original charm of the building has been retained but this is combined with modern features including an impressive kitchen/family room with a wall of glass beyond which is the garden. The accommodation is very flexible as there are three ground floor bedrooms which can be used as additional reception rooms if required and in addition there is a mezzanine bedroom which is ideal for guests. The property offers over 3000 ft.² of accommodation which includes a wonderful sitting room which is triple aspect and has a double height vaulted ceiling with original timbers and steps leading to a mezzanine which is an ideal study. In addition to the impressive kitchen, there is a walk-in larder, a separate utility and a separate dining room. The property has been well maintained and is presented to a high standard throughout.

Outside:
The Barn is approached by a gravel drive providing ample parking and access to an original garage with adjoining storage area. To the rear of the property there is a very practical oak framed building providing a double carport with adjoining workshop with power and lighting. Directly behind the house there is a paved terrace for outside entertaining beyond which the garden is all grass and contains a variety of trees and shrubs. On the west side of the property the land rises and there is an area of paddock from which there are lovely views over the surrounding countryside.
