Kingsley, Hampshire, GU35

Apple Barn was originally built in the 17th century, getting fully converted to this incredible property circa 1980.

This magnificent country house provides outstanding accommodation, character features throughout and over 7,000 sq. ft. of accommodation. The converted barn fits sympathetically within its environment.

The principal rooms are of particular note and comprise main double aspect drawing room that showcases wonderful architectural detail, solid oak flooring, large wood burning stove which sits in a brick inglenook fireplace and sliding doors to garden; the bespoke, newly fitted kitchen/diner room with a range of appliances and Rangemaster; large separate utility/laundry room. These rooms are further complemented by a large family snug room/bedroom with en suite shower room.

The first floor consists of a principal bedroom with stunning vaulted ceiling and en suite bathroom with separate shower, two further double bedrooms, family bathroom, a galleried triple aspect study/reading room enjoying views of the wonderful countryside, two storage cupboards and eaves storage. There is a loft extending the full length of the house.

To note there is a large leisure complex that is at the rear of the ground floor. Currently this houses a swimming pool, changing area, vaulted ceiling and boiler room. These versatile leisure facilities, flexible in their use, require sympathetic enhancement/modernisation.
