Description
The Barn is a well-proportioned four bedroom family home with a two bedroom annexe and further range of semi converted traditional barns offering superb potential. The total accommodation provides over 5300 square feet, all set in just under 2 acres of gardens and grounds.
Situated a pleasant distance back from the A513, the property occupies a secluded position, with ample parking available within the shared gravel courtyard, which serves The Barn and Annexe, as well as the neighbouring property, Upfields Farm.
The Barn has been a much-loved family home and is well presented throughout, comprising a farmhouse kitchen breakfast room, series of reception rooms offering flexible living spaces and a beautiful Master Bedroom suite, all accompanied by stunning period features.
The two bedroom Annexe adjoins The Barn and has been converted in a way that enables both properties to coexist with privacy from one another. The Annexe boasts a main private glazed entrance door from the courtyard, in addition to its own secure garden and parking area to the rear, with a rear stable style door leading into its utility room.
The additional accommodation within the range of barns is partially converted for bed and breakfast style rooms, with planning consent obtained in 2001. A further consent for
change of use to two residential units was obtained in 2008. Vehicular access is available to the additional accommodation over a right of way from a separate entrance drive leading from the A513.
The Barn enjoys an impressive mature lawned garden, boasting pleasant views of the surrounding open countryside, with a south facing patio seating area. Beyond the garden is an additional grassed area, currently occupied by an open sided agricultural steel portal framed barn.
Viewing is advised to really appreciate the unique nature of this property and for the discerning buyer to understand its future potential.
