A stylish and beautifully presented detached barn conversion in an idyllic country setting.

Description

This beautifully appointed detached barn conversion is situated in the idyllic hamlet of Upper North Wraxall, tucked away towards the end of a no-through road. It forms part of a small number of homes within this attractive rural redevelopment. Offering over 2,800 sq ft of stylishly finished interiors arranged over two floors, this well-designed home has been thoughtfully remodelled and updated by the current owners to provide a natural, high-quality flow throughout.

The property is entered via a spacious entrance hall, providing ample room for a modern family to decamp. A cloak/shower room leads off, with easy access to the utility area, which features discreet cabinetry and an oversized stable door opening into the garden. A standout feature of the home is the recently remodelled kitchen/dining area. This generous space (27'11" x 17'2") boasts a bespoke kitchen with ample storage, an Everhot range cooker, sleek stone work surfaces, and quality wooden flooring. From the kitchen/diner, there is access to the first-floor bedrooms, the gardens, and the TV room/snug.

The TV room/snug, set behind smoked glass doors, offers a quiet retreat within the home. The sitting room leads off the kitchen and features a striking fireplace with an inset wood burner and a feature stone chimney stack. This spacious room has twin French doors opening to the garden and a door leading to the home office/family room. This additional room also enjoys direct access to the garden and side parking area, making it ideal for independent use.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are accessed via a generous landing. The principal bedroom features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, fitted storage cupboards, and a high-quality en suite shower room. A guest bedroom also benefits from an en suite, while two further bedrooms share the family bathroom.

Outside

Approached via a quiet country lane, the property features a hard landscaped front garden with gravel, leading to a single attached garage. A five-bar wooden gate to the side provides further access to parking along a gravel driveway. The main gardens are located to the rear and have been recently landscaped to include three terraced areas, all safely enclosed by robust stone walls.

A paved terrace directly behind the house is ideal for entertaining. Steps lead up to a level lawn, with further steps rising to another lawn and well-stocked flower beds. A stone-built shed with a vaulted ceiling offers generous storage space and, for the more ambitious, potential for conversion (subject to the necessary permissions).

The gardens make the most of the peaceful rural setting and enjoy a desirable southerly aspect.
