Superb barn conversion in grounds of about 5 acres

Description

Poppy Farm is a substantial detached barn conversion, set within grounds of approximately 5 acres and complemented by significant outbuildings. The property is offered for sale with the added benefit of no onward chain.

Enhanced during the current owners' tenure, the property provides exceptional family-sized accommodation arranged over two floors, offering a stylish yet characterful home with a highly versatile layout.

The accommodation is entered via an impressive reception hall with a double-height ceiling, which leads through to the principal reception room measuring approximately 60ft by 18ft. This remarkable space, complete with a fireplace and oak flooring, perfectly encapsulates the appeal of barn living. Exposed beams, timbers and brickwork combine to create a warm and characterful atmosphere, forming the heart of the home.

The room has been thoughtfully arranged to provide distinct zones, including a comfortable sitting area and a formal dining space. In addition, there is a cosy snug with a wood-burning stove and illuminated fitted bookshelves.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with bespoke wooden cabinetry and features a striking Everhot range, adding both practicality and charm. Beyond, a garden room with a solid roof allows for year-round enjoyment while taking full advantage of views across the grounds, with double doors opening onto the garden.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, including the principal suite, which benefits from a walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom. A further guest bedroom also enjoys the advantage of an en suite shower room. Completing the ground floor is a spacious utility and boot room, providing excellent everyday practicality.

To the first floor are three further bedrooms, including one with an en suite bathroom and built-in storage. The remaining two double bedrooms are served by a family shower room. One of these rooms is currently arranged as a dedicated study, highlighting the flexibility of the accommodation. The generous landing also provides an ideal space for a home office or reading area.

Outside
Approached via a long driveway from a peaceful country lane, Poppy Farm occupies impressive grounds extending to approximately 5 acres. The gardens and grounds offer a variety of attractive features, including kitchen gardens, tree-lined avenues, patio terraces, a pond, areas of lawn and an orchard.

A range of substantial outbuildings further enhances the property's appeal, including a large steel-framed barn that offers exceptional potential for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents. Currently utilised for vehicle storage, it would be particularly well suited to purchasers with an interest in classic cars. A series of store rooms and a mezzanine level provide extensive additional storage.

A detached games room measuring approximately 35ft by 28ft presents further versatility and could serve as a hobby room, studio, gym or potential annexe accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. The space is sufficiently large to accommodate a full-size snooker table if desired.
