Description

Offered with no onward chain, this exceptional 17th century stone barn conversion provides beautifully presented and highly versatile accommodation, including five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a detached studio annexe. Combining period character with modern family living, the property features a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family room opening onto the terrace and south-facing gardens, alongside a characterful sitting room with an inglenook fireplace and log-burning stove. With generous parking, a double garage and wonderful outdoor space, this impressive home enjoys a peaceful village setting with countryside walks from the doorstep.

Upon entering the property, a spacious entrance hall provides a warm welcome and sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. From here, there is access to a cloakroom/WC and a practical boot room with direct access to the garden, ideal for muddy boots, paws and busy family life. The characterful sitting room is centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with a log-burning stove.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Designed with modern family living and entertaining in mind, this impressive space enjoys two sets of French doors opening onto the south-facing terrace and gardens, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. The beautifully appointed kitchen features granite worktops, an electric Aga, integrated microwave oven, Fisher & Paykel dual-drawer dishwasher, Quooker hot tap and American-style fridge/freezer. Further benefits include a generous walk-in pantry and separate larder cupboard, providing excellent storage. There's also a utility room offering space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with direct access to the garden. Together, these spaces create a superb social hub for everyday family life and entertaining alike.

The first floor provides well-balanced family accommodation comprising five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams adding further character throughout, a reminder of the property's 17th century origins. The generous principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, while a second double bedroom also enjoys fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, making it ideal for guests. Two further double bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over, while the fifth bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room but would equally make an excellent nursery, child's bedroom or study.

A standout feature of the property is the detached studio annexe, located above the double garage and providing flexible additional accommodation. Currently used as a home office and gym, it could equally serve as a space for guests, older children seeking greater independence or creative pursuits. Complete with underfloor heating, a kitchenette, spacious wet room, log-burning stove and private balcony, it offers a wealth of possibilities to suit a variety of lifestyles.

Outside, the property enjoys beautiful south-facing gardens, offering a private and attractive setting with well-maintained lawns and mature planting. A generous terrace adjoins the house, providing the perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the gardens enjoy a sunny aspect throughout much of the day. Further benefits include a detached double garage with store, EV charger and generous driveway parking for multiple vehicles.
