Exquisitely appointed barn conversion

Description

Situated in the conservation area of the village, set back from Upper Green, Black Barn has origins dating to the 17th century and is Grade II Listed. The property was converted in 2024/5 by well-regarded local developers Butler & Duke, as part of an exclusive, small development. Great attention has been made to retain many original features. The old farmyard cart openings are glazed and provide double height floor to ceiling windows allowing bright light to the room, and the beautiful, original roof timbers are exposed in all their glory.

Constructed of stone with weatherboard cladding and a slate roof, high tech specifications include solar panels, air source heat pump providing heating and hot water and underfloor heating throughout. The open plan kitchen, dining, sitting area is undeniably the most stunning room. The bespoke Evie Willow handmade kitchen is masterfully designed to fit its surrounds. With a central work island, integrated Miele appliances include, ceramic hob, two ovens, fridge freezer, wine fridge, and dishwasher. With electric blinds to both the large windows, shade is provided in summer, and a woodboring stove in the sitting area makes it cosy during the winter. A feature spiral staircase rises to the first floor where the principal bedroom, with dressing area and en suite bathroom are. Accommodation flows well, principally on the ground floor, with a study, sitting/TV room with sliding doors to the garden, three bedrooms and family bathroom with shower. There is also a spacious utility room and cloakroom.

Outside, enclosed, landscaped gardens to the rear have a terrace area and well stocked herbaceous borders. To the front of the property there is off-street parking and a further garden area wrapping to the side. With an EV charger, there is also an open bay carport and a closed garage space with further storeroom.
