We have pleasure in offering to the market this immaculately presented and thoughtfully designed conversion of a former period barn, forming one of a pair of individual dwellings of generous proportions and offering a wealth of character and features but combining both traditional and contemporary elements.
This fascinating home offers a versatile layout which begins with it's spacious hallway with attractive exposed timbers and internal brickwork leading through into a large open plan main reception, flooded with light and benefitting from a dual aspect with full height windows , the focal point of the room being an attractive exposed brick fireplace with inset stove and exposed timbers. Leading from this room is a useful home office perfect for today's way of working. The hub of the home is an open plan living/dining kitchen which has been tastefully updated to provide a generous range of built in units and integrated appliances with a useful utility room off as well as large open doorway leading through into a living/dining space with attractive, pitched, clear glass roof and opening skylights with access out into the front courtyard garden. To the first floor, leading off an impressive central galleried landing, are three bedrooms each offering their own individuality, again with a wealth of features and immense character, the master benefitting from ensuite facilities, and separate bathroom. In addition the property benefits from underfloor heating to the ground floor.
As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a generous plot with an initial shared electric gated access which leads onto a private driveway providing an excellent level of off road parking, as well as a low maintenance garden providing a generous outdoor space. At the foot of the plot is a further parking area with double garage which again provides a generous level of off road parking as well as a well proportioned and interesting outdoor space perfect for those looking for low maintenance living.
Overall the only way to truly appreciate this property is by internal inspection.
