The beautifully landscaped grounds have been thoughtfully created by the current owner, with established planting, natural hedging, an orchard, raised vegetable and flower beds and a number of seating areas carefully positioned to make the most of the property’s exceptional outlook.
A fabulous kitchen/breakfast room, designed as much for enjoying the view as it is for everyday living. Full-height glazing draws the countryside into the room, creating a wonderful connection with the landscape and providing an impressive backdrop whether enjoying a morning coffee, entertaining friends or simply watching the changing seasons.
The accommodation retains the charm one would hope to find in a traditional barn conversion, whilst offering the comfort and flexibility of modern living. The heart of the home is the vast open plan living area with vaulted ceilings, exposed trusses and a wood-burning stove creating warmth and atmosphere, full height windows and Juliet balcony with commanding views across the garden and countryside beyond.
The four bedrooms provide excellent flexibility, with the principal bedroom enjoying its own en-suite bathroom.
