Stelling Minnis CT4

Calling all developers or 2nd home seekers! This description is not going to do this stunning barn conversion justice, so viewing is a must!

This barn has been sympathetically restored and converted to the highest standard. All major works have been completed; just the kitchen, staircase, internal finishings and connections are required. 

Originally renovated for the current owners, they have spared no expense with beautiful English oak beams, underfloor heating on both ground and first floor and quality fixtures throughout, all adding to the wow factor that this barn offers. 

Formally a threshing barn, the front door space is designed for a huge wooden door surrounded by glass and oak opening into a grand welcome hall. The hall offers a classic central point for the rooms on the ground floor and access to the first floor with a mezzanine floor. Open planned and full of natural light, the hall is perfect for entertaining in both winter and summer, including bifolds out to the garden as well as access to the basement, an ideal space for a wine cellar and storage. 
To the left of the welcome hall is the vast sitting room with a substantial brick fireplace as the focal point. The fireplace even holds one of the original beams as the mantle. 

To the right of the welcome hall is the downstairs washroom, a good-sized study, and the family area. 
The family area is laid with solid limestone flooring, plastered white walls exposing the honey coloured English oak beams, and overlooking the garden. There is space for a substantial kitchen (all plumbing and electrics in place) and dining or sofa area. As well as a utility room, ideal for storing coats and boots from the garden, plus a very useful TV room/playroom.

Upstairs (currently accessed by a ladder), the master bedroom has an ensuite with a freestanding bath and rope lighting, offering a calming and warm atmosphere. With a ceiling full of oak beams. 

Across the mezzanine landing bridge are 4 further bedrooms (one with an en-suite) and the family bathroom. 

Outside, you have 0.8 acres of garden (approx) that the owners have spent many years (and money) creating into a usable, socialable but also private space. With a double garage at the end of the private gated drive, sewage treatment works, and a rainwater collector, this barn is a fantastic investment for someone looking to finish making a superb Kentish barn into a home.
