The Property - Hytte Barn - Norwegian for country cottage, lies in the curtilage of the Grade II Listed Burton Hill House on the southern edge of the town, close to fields and countryside walks. It was refurbished and sympathetically extended in 2017 and since then, the current owners have undertaken further substantial improvements, with meticulous attention to detail. The windows have been replaced with Heritage approved Residence 9 triple glazed units. A new kitchen has been installed with shaker style units painted in partridge grey, with oak drawer boxes, and complementary quartz work surfaces. There is now attractive stone flooring throughout the ground floor, and the boiler has been upgraded and provides under floor heating on the ground floor, with period style radiators on the first floor. Natural materials are abundant throughout, with oak latch doors, and vaulted ceilings with original timbers on the first floor. These factors combine to offer the perfect harmony of period aesthetics with modern low maintenance living.

The Accommodation - The wide, recessed oak front door leads into a hall with steps down to the dining room with curved staircase off and principle living area. To the right is the newly fitted utility room, with sleek grey tiled floor and warm oak full Stave countertops, creating a practical yet stylish finish. It includes a WC and sink, complemented by a slim black wall radiator and automatic lighting for added convenience. The navy wooden cupboards neatly house an LG ThinQ washing machine with a dryer stacked above, maximising space. Opposite the utility, there’s a charming wooden unit with wicker storage baskets, along with a dedicated area ideal for boots and coats - perfect for keeping everything organised and tucked away. The sitting area has a multi fuel stove, adding winter comfort to the under floor heating. On a split level to the left is the fabulous kitchen/breakfast room, which has an island unit with an overhang for stools, an undermounted sink with mixer tap. There is an electric Rangemaster with ducted Samsung extractor over, Samsung freestanding dishwasher, Fisher & Paykal American style fridge freezer, a larder unit, and west facing sliding doors into the garden. On the first floor, the generous master bedroom is dual aspect and has a wealth of exposed beams. The bathroom next door features a double ended bath with rain shower over, a vanity basin and WC with concealed cistern. There is a further double bedroom to the front of the property, benefitting from the morning sunshine. Both bedrooms feature plantation style shutters.

Outside - There is gravelled off-road parking for two cars, an Andersen EV charging point, external power and a tap. To the right is a useful shed and log store, plus space for wheeled bins and the like. From the parking area, a hardwood gate leads into the walled garden which features a central area with artificial grass, surrounded by gravel, with two external power supplies and garden lighting.
