Old Mill Barn has been lovingly converted by its current owners with a true no-expense-spared approach, creating a home with genuine architectural wow factor from the moment you walk through the door.

Enjoying stunning south-facing views across rolling countryside, the property has been purposefully designed to remain understated from the road. Access is gained through the original covered way, with substantial electrically operated timber gates, opening into a gravelled courtyard providing ample parking. From here, a further doorway reveals an exceptional four-bedroom contemporary home, seamlessly blending character with state-of-the-art, low-energy living.

Designed with efficiency in mind, the property benefits from a ground source heat pump providing underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, with radiators to the first floor, together with a useful fully watertight cellar and workshop space. Roof windows have been installed throughout.

At the heart of the home is a magnificent open-plan kitchen, flowing effortlessly into the dining room and sitting room beyond. These impressive living spaces have all been designed to make the very most of the spectacular 'big sky' views, allowing you to enjoy the ever-changing countryside and weather across the valley throughout the seasons. The fold-aside doors feature integral Venetian blinds, with the lounge and dining room doors benefiting from remote-control operation for added convenience.

The flexible accommodation includes a ground floor sitting room, currently used as an additional reception room but equally suited as a fifth bedroom if required. Originally designed with future flexibility in mind, the room benefits from existing drainage and water connections, allowing an en-suite shower room to be installed if desired. To the first floor are four generous bedrooms, served by three beautifully appointed bathrooms, completing this truly outstanding family home.

Further enhancing the property's versatility is a superb garden room/home office, complete with heating and air conditioning, excellent insulation, and wired internet connectivity, creating an ideal space for home working, hobbies or additional entertaining.
