The property opens into a striking double-height reception hall, where expansive glazing draws in an abundance of natural light and frames picturesque views across the surrounding countryside. From here, doors lead to a guest cloakroom and an elegant living room, centred around a charming fireplace with log burner that forms a warm and inviting focal point. A staircase rises gracefully from the hall to the first-floor landing above, enhancing the sense of space and architectural interest.

Continuing through the ground floor, the hallway leads to a generous study, comfortably accommodating two workstations and ideal for home working. Adjacent is a cosy snug, both rooms enjoying delightful views across the gardens and surrounding landscape.

At the end of the hallway, you enter the impressive and beautifully appointed kitchen, a bright and spacious heart of the home featuring a traditional four-oven Aga and handcrafted cabinetry by Chalon and Plain English. A door from the kitchen leads to a rear hallway providing access to a traditional pantry, utility room and a second cloakroom.

Beyond this lies the magnificent Dining Hall, an outstanding entertaining space complete with a feature log burner and full-width tri-fold doors that open seamlessly onto the large outdoor entertaining terrace, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the stunning south-facing views across the surrounding farmland.

Leading from the dining hall is a spacious room with en-suite facilities, currently used as a guest bedroom but offering excellent versatility for a range of uses including an additional reception room, studio or ground floor bedroom.

On the first floor, the galleried landing leads to the principal bedroom suite, featuring fitted wardrobes to two walls and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate large shower enclosure. To the opposite side of the landing are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a wonderful double guest suite with en-suite shower room, providing comfortable accommodation for family and visitors alike.

The outdoor space is equally impressive. Both the reception hall and dining hall open directly onto a large entertaining terrace, perfectly positioned to enjoy the spectacular views and peaceful surroundings. The terrace leads onto beautifully landscaped wraparound gardens, designed for low maintenance while still offering attractive outdoor spaces to relax and entertain.

Adjoining the property are two stables, a tack room and a garden bathroom with shower, making the property particularly appealing for those with equestrian interests or outdoor pursuits.

There is ample parking for several vehicles, while double gates provide vehicular access to the paddock, which features a beautifully designed lake and enjoys a tranquil setting. A large shed located within the paddock benefits from both electricity and water supply, and is accessed via a pedestrian gate.

The fully fenced paddock is bordered on one side by a charming brook owned by the property, further enhancing the idyllic countryside setting. Additional vehicular access to the paddock is available via a large gate from the private road leading to Swallows Barn from Donington Lane.

The property is served by oil-fired central heating and a septic tank.

Swallows Barn is a characterful Grade II listed property, with origins dating back to the 18th century, thoughtfully converted and extended to create a truly distinctive home. With elegant interiors, generous proportions, extensive grounds and far-reaching rural views, this is a rare countryside retreat offering both refined living and exceptional flexibility.
