Description

Elm Barn is a beautifully presented detached home occupying a peaceful position within the highly regarded village of Morton, just a short distance from the market town of Bourne. Offering generous and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, the property perfectly balances character, comfort and modern family living.

Thoughtfully designed around light-filled, sociable spaces, with a superb open-plan kitchen/dining room at the heart of the home and a truly impressive garden room beyond. This wonderful addition creates an exceptional lifestyle space, with a roof lantern, two sets of bi-folding doors, an Aga log burner and exposed stone walling, making it ideal for relaxed family time, entertaining and year-round enjoyment of the garden.

The ground floor also offers a spacious living room, separate study, utility room and cloakroom, while the first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with dressing area and ensuite shower room. Outside, the beautifully landscaped and private walled garden is a real highlight, complemented by off-road parking and a detached double garage, part of which has been converted into a gym.

Ground Floor
The entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction to the home, with stairs rising to the first floor and access into the principal ground floor accommodation. There is a useful cloakroom positioned off the hall, ideal for family life and visiting guests.

The main living room is a wonderfully spacious reception room extending to over 33 ft. in length, creating an impressive yet comfortable space for everyday relaxation. A feature fireplace forms a natural focal point, while windows and doors allow plenty of natural light to flow through the room. Generous proportions provide ample space for both formal seating and relaxed family living.

A separate study with internal glazing into the living room offering an ideal home office, reading room or children’s area. Its position away from the main open-plan living areas makes it particularly practical for those working from home.

The open-plan kitchen/dining room is the heart of the house and has been designed with both entertaining and family life in mind. The kitchen provides extensive cabinetry, generous granite work surfaces and a central island, creating a highly sociable space for cooking and gathering. There is ample room for a large dining table, making this a natural setting for family meals and relaxed entertaining.

A useful utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing additional storage, laundry space and room for everyday household organisation, helping keep the main living areas uncluttered.

Beyond the kitchen/dining room is the superb garden room, one of the standout features of the property. Flooded with light from the roof lantern and two sets of bi-folding doors, this is a stunning all-season living space that connects beautifully with the garden. The exposed stone wall adds texture and character, while the Aga log burner creates a cosy focal point, making the room equally suited to summer entertaining and quiet winter evenings.

The beautifully appointed family bathroom is fitted with both a freestanding bath and separate shower, creating a practical and well-appointed space.

The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with artificial lawned areas, mature planting, paved terraces and sheltered seating spaces, creating a wonderful environment for relaxing, dining and entertaining.

The garden room opens directly onto the outside space through two sets of bi-folding doors, allowing the house and garden to work together beautifully during the warmer months. This creates an effortless flow for entertaining, with plenty of space for outdoor dining, seating and family gatherings.

To the side of the property is off-road parking for two vehicles and a detached double garage. Part of the garage has been converted into a gym with underfloor heating, providing a highly useful leisure space at home while still retaining garage/storage potential. This flexible building could suit a range of uses depending on requirements, including fitness, storage, workshop space or hobby room.
