DESCRIPTION

The Old Byre has been designed and converted to an incredibly high standard, combining many of the original features along with modern touches, including the large, glazed windows and French doors and underfloor heating throughout. The main barn offers spacious living along with five bedrooms whilst there is an additional self-contained one-bedroom annexe to the other side of the carport which could be used for guests or perhaps Air BnB etc.

Main Barn:

The Old Byre is entered through the central entrance hall and then immediately opens up into the incredible 60 ft long main living area, complete with a central four-sided raised wood burner. The space offers flexible living accommodation, with a beautiful, fitted kitchen at one end, and then room to create other zones throughout the space, such as a dining area, TV/Snug area and lounge. Behind the kitchen is the utility and storage room.

To one side of the central living area is the main bedroom complete with a walk-in wardrobe, additional built-in wardrobes and an en suite. The large glass bay window at the end has the benefit of a patio door leading out directly to the garden.

Located off to the other side is the “Eastern” accommodation wing. A corridor provides access to the four bedrooms, three of which have a patio door out the garden and one of them has the benefit of an en suite shower room. A family bathroom completes the bedroom wing accommodation.

Annexe:

Located to the other side of the carport (detached from the house but sharing a roof line) is the well-presented and generous (689 sq ft) one bedroom annexe. The entrance hall opens into the diner/kitchen/sitting room with modern fitted kitchen and utility room. A bedroom and shower room complete the annexe accommodation. We understand from our clients that the property is not registered for separate council tax as it is not being used separately by them at this time.
__________

OUTSIDE

The property stands well back from the road, accessed through Iron gates and over a gravel driveway which provides ample off-road parking and an additional car port. The majority of the garden is laid to lawn, with a patio area and kitchen garden to the east side of the barn. The barn enjoys delightful views over its own garden and grounds and beyond over the neighbouring countryside. The shed/boiler room is accessed from the courtyard area with the benefit of a gardeners W.C. We have been told there is a 3 phase electricity supply to the property, so a high power electric car charger could potentially be installed.
