Superb period barn conversion with wonderful gardens.

Description

Halcyon barn is a superb, wonderfully spacious and light-filled barn conversion with delightful grounds extending to about five acres. The building is Grade II Listed and presents handsome elevations of red brick and black timber weatherboarding beneath a traditional roof incorporating thatch, pan tiles and additional complementary materials. Internally, the barn retains a wealth of period character, with exposed beams, timberwork, and impressive vaulted ceilings throughout.

At the heart of the property is the magnificent open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room. This stunning space is filled with natural light through large floor to ceiling windows and is perfect for entertaining. The bespoke kitchen, situated to one end, features ample cabinetry, a breakfast bar, a range cooker, and an integral dishwasher. A staircase beside the kitchen leads to a mezzanine level, offering a versatile space ideal as a snug, study, or additional guest bedroom. Adjoining the main open-plan area is an elegant drawing room, which in turn provides access to the utility room and a bathroom. The barn offers four double bedrooms, each with its own en suite facilities. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefitting from French doors that open directly onto the garden.

Halcyon barn is approached via a long, gated gravelled driveway which provides ample parking for several cars. The gardens surround the house and include an orchard, areas of lawn bordered by newly planted hedging, and interspersed with young sapling trees. Two generous terraces also provide excellent spaces for outdoor dining, relaxation and entertaining.

The paddock, extends to just over three acres and offers excellent potential for equestrian activities or other leisure pursuits.

Adjacent to the property is a useful outbuilding currently divided into two sections. The current owners have obtained full planning permission (references DC/23/2398/FUL and DC/23/2399/LBC) to convert part of the outbuilding into a holiday cottage, providing an excellent opportunity for additional income or versatile guest accommodation. The approved scheme includes an open-plan sitting room and kitchen area, along with a double bedroom and an en suite shower room.
