Detached single-storey barn conversion in grounds of about 1.75 acres

Description

Upper Wood Barn is a spacious single-storey barn conversion set within grounds of approximately 1.75 acres, backing onto open farmland. Offering accommodation entirely on one level, the property is ideally suited to couples seeking a peaceful rural retreat or families looking to settle in this attractive countryside location. Combining character and charm with modern comforts, the property extends to over 2,200 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation.

The accommodation is arranged around an entrance hall, which leads to the eastern wing of the property, home to both the sitting room and kitchen/dining room. This practical layout keeps the bedroom accommodation separate from the principal living areas, creating an excellent balance between entertaining and private spaces.

The sitting room is a particularly impressive space, extending to over 30 ft in length and enjoying a pleasant dual aspect that fills the room with natural light. A vaulted ceiling with exposed beams enhances the sense of character and scale, while an attractive feature fireplace provides a welcoming focal point.

The kitchen/dining room is equally appealing, featuring bespoke French oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces and tiled flooring, all of which combine to create a charming farmhouse-style setting. Double doors open directly onto the gardens, making this an excellent space for both everyday family life and entertaining. A useful utility room and boot room are located just off the kitchen.

The western wing of the property provides up to five bedrooms, offering a highly flexible arrangement to suit a variety of lifestyles. The principal bedroom benefits from a contemporary en suite shower room and is an impressive space in its own right, extending to over 17 ft in length and enhanced by rooflights that allow for excellent natural light.
The remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, complete with bath and separate shower, as well as a separate cloakroom. The versatility of these rooms is demonstrated by the current owners, who utilise some of the space as a home office. They could equally lend themselves to use as a gym, hobby room or playroom, depending on individual requirements.

Outside
The property is approached via electronically operated double gates, which open onto a substantial gravelled parking area providing space for numerous vehicles. Set around an attractive courtyard and extending to approximately 1.75 acres, the grounds offer exceptional versatility.

The outside space is ideally suited to a variety of uses, including potential equestrian interests, with an array of stabling and garaging already in place. Alternatively, the grounds provide excellent recreational space for families, as demonstrated by the current owners' lawned tennis court and putting green, while keen gardeners will appreciate the opportunity to further enhance and shape the landscape.

Backing directly onto open countryside and with access to nearby walks, Upper Wood Barn offers a wonderful rural lifestyle, combining privacy, space and convenience in equal measure.
