Set behind electric gates, this remarkable period home offers a wonderful balance of historic character and modern living. Believed to date back over 400 years, Cherry Blossom Barn is rich in original features, from exposed beams and retained tack poles to quarry tiled floors and ledge-and-brace doors, while thoughtful modern improvements ensure it is well suited to contemporary family life.

Ground Floor:

Entering through elegant French doors, the accommodation opens into a beautifully appointed country-style kitchen, which forms the heart of this impressive four-bedroom period home. The kitchen is centred around a superb traditional Aga, complemented by a central island incorporating a built-in fridge, alongside a range of wall and base units, twin Belfast-style sink, integrated dishwasher, Neff coffee machine, additional Neff oven, built-in microwave and space for an American-style fridge freezer.

A feature fireplace with an open fire creates a wonderful sense of warmth and character, complemented by original exposed beams and retained tack poles - charming reminders of the property’s remarkable history, which is believed to date back approximately 420 years.
A stable door leads into the useful boot room, which provides access to the courtyard and rear garden, door to utility. French doors from the kitchen open onto the beautifully enclosed rear garden, with a patio, raised decking and hot tub, all enjoying delightful views across the adjoining open countryside.

A further door leads into the inner hallway, where the original quarry tiled floor provides another wonderful reminder of the property’s heritage. Beneath the stairs sits a convenient cloakroom.

The principal entrance opens from the courtyard into the hallway, with an archway leading through to the delightful orangery. This light-filled space features bi-fold doors opening onto the rear garden, a charming feature alcove currently utilised as a small office and a large storage cupboard.

Double doors lead into the impressive sitting room, where solid oak flooring, a feature fireplace and an abundance of natural light create an elegant yet welcoming reception space. Four ceiling speakers provide integrated entertainment, while large French doors open directly onto the garden, framing beautiful countryside views. Two additional picture windows further flood the room with natural daylight.

The dining room/snug is positioned off the main hallway and enjoys two picture windows overlooking the courtyard. With its feature fireplace, exposed beams, oak flooring and space for a large television, this is a wonderfully versatile room for both relaxed family living and entertaining.

First Floor:

The first floor continues the property’s impressive blend of period character and modern comfort, with exposed beams and original features creating a wonderfully individual country-house feel.

To the left of the landing is the beautifully appointed family bathroom, featuring exposed wooden beams, a bath and separate enclosed shower, together with built-in storage and a marble shelf.

The impressive principal bedroom is a particularly appealing retreat, enjoying a vaulted ceiling with exposed A-frame timbers and beams, creating a wonderful sense of space and character. The newly fitted en-suite features a generous shower and heated towel rail.

The landing itself features exposed beams and provides access to three further double bedrooms. All three rooms enjoy windows overlooking the rear garden and open countryside, while two benefit from useful built-in wardrobes.

The property therefore provides four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the newly fitted principal en-suite.

There is also loft space above the longer section of the property, providing useful additional storage and potential for future enhancement, subject to the necessary permissions and regulations.

Outside:

The property is approached through an inviting archway into a beautifully enclosed and private walled courtyard.

The courtyard is complemented by well-established flower beds, mature planting and a charming central street-style lamp, creating a wonderful sense of arrival. A secluded seating area occupies the right-hand corner, while a separate patio area to the left provides additional outdoor entertaining space and access to the boot room.

The rear garden is equally impressive, with a beautifully enclosed walled garden incorporating a patio and raised decking area with hot tub. The garden enjoys a wonderful degree of privacy while taking full advantage of the property’s picturesque views across open countryside.

Garage, Gym & Office:

The courtyard provides access to a versatile outbuilding incorporating a single garage with traditional double wooden doors and a dedicated home gym.

Above, an impressive office extends across the full width of the building. Featuring exposed beams, attractive alcove storage to both sides, two Velux windows and an additional roof light, this is a bright and characterful space, ideal for working from home.

There is also additional storage accommodation at this level, which offers potential to create a bathroom, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.

With the existing accommodation below, this presents the possibility of creating an annex-style space for guests, extended family or a home office suite, subject to the required consents.

Further Features:

The property retains a wealth of period character throughout, including original beams, ledge-and-brace solid timber doors, traditional-style radiators and oak flooring.

Cherry Blossom Barn also benefits from several thoughtful modern improvements, including newly fitted windows installed in August 2025 and new oil-fired central heating. LED lighting is also fitted throughout, alongside antique brass light switches and electrical sockets, complementing the property’s traditional character while providing modern functionality.
