Description

Tithe Barn is an impressive Grade II listed red brick barn, believed to date from the mid 17th Century with later additions, located down a private farm road on the edge of the sought after village of West Peckham, which benefits from a popular village pub and an attractive green with a cricket ground overlooked by the church.

Tithe Barn is a charming attached converted barn offering well-appointed and versatile living space arranged over three floors, ideal for both family living and formal entertaining. Salient features include an impressive entrance hall with a bifurcated staircase, a modern kitchen, exposed timbers, stone and brickwork, recessed lighting, a feature fireplace and casement windows. Also of note is the established garden and ample off road parking.

The superb reception rooms comprise a double aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace inset with a wood burning stove, and a dining room with a view to the front.

The stylish kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall and base units with some integral appliances including a dual oven Aga. An adjoining utility and boot room provide additional storage and space for appliances with doors opening to the garden.

A cloakroom and understairs storeroom completes the ground floor.

A bifurcated staircase rises from the impressive entrance hall to the first floor and principal bedroom suite with a bank of fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes and one with access to a dressing room and stairs rising to a mezzanine and attic space. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Tithe Barn is approached over a gravel driveway, culminating at the car port and open store. The established garden is predominantly laid to landscaped lawn with well-stocked borders and a wall to the perimeter.
