An immaculately presented unlisted barn conversion with ancillary accommodation and excellent recreational facilities.

Description

Hammons Court is a stunning barn conversion that dates in part from the mid 19th century with later additions, including a contemporary glazed link, connecting this outstanding family home to an extremely versatile two storey annexe, which also incorporates a games/recreation room. Further ancillary accommodation completed in 2025, comprises the stylish self-contained guest accommodation with underfloor heating and air conditioning.

Converted in circa 2002, the principal oak framed barn has been beautifully designed retaining much of the integrity of the original building whilst featuring a wealth of reclaimed oak joinery with contemporary touches and wiring for recessed ceiling speakers to a number of rooms together with Fibre To The Property (FTTP). The principal accommodation is arranged around a beautiful central courtyard with old olive tree, terrace and pergola enhanced by a mature grapevine.

Ground floor accommodation comprises generously proportioned reception rooms, including a formal dining room with secret butler’s pantry and a superb triple aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace, inset wood burning stove and outlook to the stunning central courtyard. Linking these two rooms is an impressive vaulted reception hall with staircase to the galleried landing and flagstone flooring.

The bespoke kitchen/breakfast/family room has been fitted by JM Interiors. Appliances comprise an Everhot range cooker, Neff electric ovens, two dishwashers and a fridge/freezer. Doors open out from the breakfast/family room to the terrace and pretty well screened courtyard, enjoying a southerly aspect.
