DESCRIPTION
A Charming and Characterful Converted Barn with three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 reception rooms with Versatile Accommodation, Detached Studio/Workshop and Landscaped Gardens of approx 0.45 acres.

Iron Stone Barn is an exceptional detached rural property, thoughtfully converted and extended to create a distinctive home that beautifully combines traditional character with contemporary living. Occupying an attractive semi-rural setting, the property showcases an appealing blend of brickwork and weatherboarded elevations beneath a pitched clay-tiled roof, complemented by a slate-roofed section, reflecting its original agricultural heritage.

The well-proportioned accommodation is both light and versatile, with a wealth of characterful features including exposed oak framing, vaulted ceilings and a striking central wood-burning stove. The principal living spaces have been designed to embrace the surrounding gardens, with bi-folding doors opening onto a decked terrace and French doors providing a further connection to the outdoor space.

The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hall leading to an exceptionally spacious living room, centred around the feature wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The impressive sitting room/garden room is particularly noteworthy, with its part-vaulted ceiling, roof lantern, attractive tiled flooring and exposed oak framework, creating a wonderful sense of light and space.

The kitchen/dining room is fitted with a comprehensive range of matching units, incorporating a Belfast sink, integrated hob and extractor, double oven and microwave, with space for a dishwasher. A part-vaulted ceiling and double French doors to the garden further enhance this sociable space. A separate utility room provides additional practicality, while a ground-floor shower room and double bedroom offer useful flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.

On the first floor, two further double bedrooms enjoy the character of part-vaulted ceilings, with the principal bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobes and pleasant views across the adjoining countryside. A family bathroom completes the main accommodation.

A particularly appealing feature of Iron Stone Barn is the substantial detached studio/workshop outbuilding, providing an exceptional degree of versatility and scope for a variety of uses. The traditional structure incorporates a two-storey section with a bright studio, kitchenette area and cloakroom, together with a first-floor studio/workshop accessed externally. This additional space lends itself to home working, artistic pursuits, hobbies or recreational use, with potential for ancillary accommodation subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

Further complementing the outbuilding is a secure lock-up workshop, housed within a northern lean-to, providing useful storage. The adjacent former pigsties offer additional storage or potential for alternative uses, subject to any relevant consents.

Outside, the grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped and arranged into distinct garden areas, creating a series of attractive and private spaces for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. The gardens lead down to a gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking for up to six vehicles, further complemented by an electric vehicle charging point.

Iron Stone Barn represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful rural home offering generous and adaptable accommodation, attractive outdoor space and an extensive range of ancillary buildings, all ideally suited to modern living, working from home and a variety of lifestyle requirements.
