We have pleasure in offering to the market this fascinating individual conversion of a period barn which offers a deceptive level of accommodation lying in the region of 1,200sq.ft. and occupying a particularly convenient location within a short walking distance of the heart of this well served and highly regarded Vale of Belvoir village.
The property offers a wealth of charm and character which begins with its attractive brick elevations beneath a pantile roof and internally interest continues with each room offering it's own individuality having been sympathetically modernised and refurbished over the years, combining both modern and traditional elements.
The property provides up to four bedrooms, the master of which benefits from ensuite facilities, with separate family bathroom and, to the ground floor, an initial entrance hall leads to an attractive dual aspect reception the focal point of which is a chimney breast with inset solid fuel stove and an exposed beam to the ceiling. The large open plan living/dining kitchen creates a fantastic everyday living/entertaining space, again benefitting from a dual aspect, as well as access out into a low maintenance courtyard garden. The kitchen is tastefully appointed having been modernised with a range of units with granite preparation surfaces and still retains some of its original character with exposed internal brickwork and timbers and an attractive original feeding trough relating back to its historic past.
In additional the property is tastefully presented throughout, benefits from gas central heating and double glazing and would be perfect for a wide range of prospective purchasers.
As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a low maintenance, manageable plot with off road parking, an enclosed courtyard style garden at the rear which benefits from a south westerly aspect and one of it's main selling points is it's convenient location within easy reach of local amenities making it ideal for those downsizing from larger dwellings.
Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
