This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a really interesting, individual conversion of an 18th century barn, understood to date back to the late 1700s but converted in the 1980s, and more recently tastefully modernised throughout to create a stunning home which offers a wealth of character and features.
The accommodation approaches 1,200 sq.ft. with each room offering it's own individuality with the majority offering attractive, beamed ceilings, reclaimed stripped pine internal doors, neutral decoration and beautiful engineered oak wood flooring to the main entrance hall and Karndean flooring in the bathroom. In addition, the property has seen a recent modernisation to the kitchen being fitted with a range of units with integrated appliances.
The property boasts two well proportioned reception rooms as well as three double bedrooms and tastefully appointed contemporary bathroom.
In addition the property offers hardwood sealed unit double glazed windows and gas central heating as well as relatively neutral decoration throughout.
As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a lovingly established but manageable plot, set well back from the lane behind a walled frontage having well stocked borders and a central pathway leading to a canopied timber porch. The property offers attractive, aesthetically pleasing brick elevations beneath a pantile roof.
To the rear of the property is a westerly facing, courtyard style garden, thoughtfully landscaped and well stocked with an abundance of trees and shrubs and also gives access to a useful lean to utility located within the garden.
A short distance is a useful brick garage with storage in the eaves and separate single car port which, combined, provide off road parking for two vehicles.
The property is located within walking distance of the heart of this highly regarded village and viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
