The accommodation briefly comprises a fabulous open plan living space with a kitchen, dining area and garden room, a separate sitting room, a utility room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Additionally, the barn offers versatile accommodation, including the option to separate a self-contained one-bedroom annexe if desired.
The front door leads to a light filled entrance hall with a rooflight and doors directly ahead that connect to the open-plan living area. Off the entrance hall is a utility room, a double bedroom with a window facing the front and an en-suite shower room with a loo, hand-wash basin and walk-in shower. The utility room has built-in units top and bottom, a single sink, space for a fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, with a door leading out to the side.
The open plan living space includes a kitchen, dining and garden room, making it a lovely sociable room with French doors and windows overlooking the garden.
The beautiful kitchen is perfect for keen cooks with bespoke built-in cabinets, granite worktops, a range cooker with ceramic hob, hood and extractor fan, a single sink, integrated dishwasher, built-in beech dresser, larder cupboard and space for a full height fridge freezer. The island unit in the centre is freestanding and equipped with electricity.

During the warmer months, the French doors may be opened to the garden.
There is a separate, spacious sitting room with book shelves along one wall and an exposed brick fireplace with a woodburning stove. French doors open out to a paved patio with a pergola, making it a great spot to read a book in the shade.
Three good-sized double bedrooms with windows facing the garden are located off the main living area. There are fitted wardrobes with sliding doors along one wall of the principal bedroom. The family bathroom features a separate enclosed shower, a hand wash basin, a loo, and a freestanding bath with a handheld shower.
