Edem Barn, Gainsborough Road, Everton

Edem Barn is a stunning self-build completed in 2020, and it’s truly a showcase of craftsmanship and indulgence. With luxurious underfloor heating throughout and an efficient ground source heat pump, it’s as forward-thinking as it is elegant. Every corner of this home reflects a commitment to quality and a love for thoughtful, indulgent design. It’s a place where modern comfort meets timeless style.

A warm welcome

Step inside Edem Barn into the broad and beautifully finished entrance hall, where herringbone-laid tiles add both elegance and practicality underfoot. Natural light streams through the timber framed windows, complemented by a double timber framed door, creating a bright and uplifting first impression.

To the side, a cloakroom offers a stylish and functional touch. Partially tiled in deep green metro tiles, this room has a contemporary edge while remaining timeless in design. A vanity unit with inset wash basin provides storage as well as style, and the WC ensures this room is as practical as it is attractive — perfect for guests and everyday family life alike.

From the hallway, the flow of the home reveals itself. To one end, double doors open into the formal lounge, an inviting space for relaxation and entertaining. To the other, the hall leads seamlessly through to the open-plan kitchen, dining, and snug, the true heart of the home. Rising centrally, a crafted oak staircase draws the eye upward to the ornate diamond brickwork, leading to the private family quarters above and anchoring this entrance hall as the central hub of the home.

The heart of the home

At the centre of Edem Barn lies the expansive kitchen, dining and snug area — a space where family life naturally comes together. Glazed doors span the rear wall, flooding the room with light and opening out to the garden, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow that makes this the true hub of the home.

Underfoot, Karndean flooring runs throughout, practical yet stylish, its warmth and texture grounding the space. The kitchen itself is bespoke and handmade, crafted in a timeless farmhouse style and painted in a deep blue that contrasts beautifully with the lighter tones of the quartz worktops. Thoughtful design ensures both beauty and functionality, with cabinetry extending to the rear of the dining area, creating a seamless flow and enhancing the sense of cohesion across the space.

A characterful exposed beam provides a natural divide between the kitchen and dining zones, offering a nod to traditional barn architecture while maintaining the openness of the room. The central island forms the heart of the kitchen, providing abundant preparation space as well as a sociable breakfast bar where family and guests can gather.

Well-equipped for modern living, the kitchen features high-quality appliances including an induction hob, dishwasher, Rangemaster cooker and a Quooker boiling water tap, combining efficiency with luxury. Every element is considered, from the practicality of the walk-in pantry to the inviting snug beyond.

Here, two sets of patio doors frame views of the courtyard and provide effortless access to the outdoors, allowing light to pour in from both sides. The atmosphere is completed by a log burner, set within a tiled inglenook fireplace, creating a warm and rustic focal point. Whether enjoyed on a winter’s evening with the fire aglow, or in summer with the doors thrown open to the garden, the snug is a space that adapts beautifully to the seasons.

From the snug, a beautifully panelled inner hallway extends, leading to a series of practical yet thoughtfully designed spaces. Along this corridor, you’ll find a large storage room, a plant room, and a versatile utility and boot room, complete with fitted storage, plumbing for a washer and dryer, and a rear door providing direct access to the courtyard. At the far end of the hallway, the home reveals the first of its excellent annex potential. Currently used as a playroom, this space is complemented by a private staircase that ascends to a generous double bedroom with an ensuite shower room, creating a perfect retreat for older teenagers or visiting guests.

Making memories

Step through from the entrance hall into the large formal lounge, a beautifully designed space that balances elegance with modern comfort. A striking feature beam runs through the centre of the room, naturally zoning the space. On one side, a contemporary electric fireplace creates a warm and welcoming focal point, while on the other, a bespoke media wall offers the perfect spot for relaxed evenings in front of the television.

The flooring also helps define the room, transitioning from the practical Karndean of the hall into a plush grey carpet, soft underfoot and adding a layer of luxury. Wall panelling lends character and texture, giving the lounge a timeless, tailored feel.

Light floods in from windows on two sides, complemented by glazed double doors to the rear that open directly onto the courtyard, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors. Whether hosting friends, enjoying family time, or simply curling up with a book, this room is designed to adapt to every occasion.

From here, an inner hallway extends the flow of the home, complete with fitted storage. Off this corridor lies the study, a private and peaceful working environment, and the home gym, equipped with its own shower room for convenience. The gym also benefits from doors opening directly onto the courtyard, as well as internal access to the impressive triple garage, ensuring practicality sits comfortably alongside lifestyle.

Rest & Retreat

Upstairs, the home opens into four spacious double bedrooms, each designed as a calm and comfortable retreat.

The principal suite is a haven of light and space, with dual-aspect windows framing peaceful views and flooding the room with daylight. A full-width dressing room adds boutique-style storage, while the sleek en-suite shower room, part-tiled in striking black metro tiles, brings a touch of modern sophistication. Enhancing the sense of luxury, an integrated Bose speaker system runs through the bedroom, dressing room and en suite, creating a seamless atmosphere for relaxation. Together, these features form a tranquil sanctuary to both begin and end the day.

Bedroom three sits along the corridor, decorated in neutral tones with views across the courtyard that enhance its restful feel.

Bedroom two follows, softly styled in pink for a gentle, welcoming atmosphere, also overlooking the courtyard for a sense of calm.

At the end of the corridor, bedroom four is finished in warm green tones that evoke a natural, soothing ambience, with a window drawing in both light and courtyard greenery.

Each bedroom is fitted with handcrafted wardrobes by a local joiner, blending character with everyday practicality.

Completing the floor is a beautifully appointed family bathroom, tiled in crisp white for a fresh, uplifting finish. A large walk-in rainfall shower with an additional head provides versatility, while a centrally filling freestanding bath invites long, indulgent soaks. A vanity with wash basin and a WC complete the suite, combining timeless elegance with modern comfort.

Link - Detached Two-Bedroom Annex

Adding further versatility to the home is a beautifully finished link-detached annex, thoughtfully designed and completed to the same high standard as the main house. Inside, a spacious kitchen/diner provides a welcoming heart to the layout, complemented by a separate lounge that offers a cosy retreat.

With two double bedrooms, served by a luxury shower room, the annex presents a wealth of possibilities. It is ideal for extended family who value their independence while staying close, or for older children seeking their own space. Alternatively, it could serve as a private guest wing or even be adapted for business use, offering the perfect base for those running a practice or working from home.

Balancing comfort, style and practicality, this annex is a true asset that broadens the appeal and functionality of the property.

Outdoor Living

Edem Barn sits within a fully secure plot, thoughtfully designed to combine practicality, family life, and countryside charm. At the heart of the property lies a spacious courtyard, creating a natural focal point between the main house and the detached annex. A large triple car port with an EV charging point and an adjoining triple garage provide exceptional space for vehicles, storage, and hobbies, while the resin driveway, secured by electric gates, ensures convenience and peace of mind.

Expansive lawns stretch across the grounds, offering space for children’s play or tranquil relaxation, complemented by a dedicated play area. The barn-inspired architecture of the home and annex harmonises with the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the property’s rural character. Encircling the plot, a public footpath opens up access to miles of picturesque countryside walks, perfect for family outings or leisurely strolls. Whether entertaining, exploring, or simply enjoying the serenity of the gardens, Edem Barn delivers an exceptional outdoor lifestyle in every season.
