4 4 2

This beautifully presented and fabulously designed detached property occupies a private position with generous gardens, superb covered garden room and a double garage tucked away in the desirable village of Edington. Early viewing is essential to avoid disappointment. 

Accommodation
Bottom Barn was designed and commissioned in 2003 with great consideration and detail given to its longevity and how it would be lived in, having all the convenience of a modern home with characterful features, built of White Lias stone with Blue Lias stone quoins under a red clay tile roof. This spacious detached family home is sociable, warm, beautifully presented and well maintained throughout.

From the entrance porch you will arrive into a fabulous reception hall where all ground floor rooms lead off from: cloakroom, study, sitting room, dining room, large utility room and kitchen/breakfast room. Two storey height glazing on the rear elevation floods the hall with light and a stunning Douglas Fir staircase ascends to a galleried landing. Oak engineered flooring flows into the open plan dining area creating a great entertaining space and a wood burning stove warms the heart of the house. The sitting room has a dual aspect overlooking the garden and a newly installed 12kw multi-fuel woodburner with original oak beam from the barn which formerly stood in its place. The luxurious kitchen/breakfast room has been recently fitted by our current clients and provides an outlook over both the front and rear gardens with feature arched french doors opening onto an east facing terrace. The kitchen oozes style with base, wall and drawer units and full height pantry cupboard complemented by quartz surfaces over and built in automatic appliances including wine fridge. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a wonderful sun room overlooking the courtyard garden. On the first floor a spacious landing leads off to four double bedrooms and a family bathroom, again refitted in recent years to a superior standard. The master bedroom suite is light and generously proportioned with built in wardrobes and a stylish ensuite shower room with large walk-in shower.

It is noteworthy that there is a newly fitted external oil fired central heating boiler that provides underfloor heating throughout the whole property, together with 15 solar panels present on the roof space that generate a consistent annual income of between £1500 and £2000 throughout a feed in tariff.

Outside
Tucked away, the property and gardens are both advantageously private and fully enclosed, approached through double gates down a gravelled sweeping drive, passed a turning circle to the parking area in front of the detached double garage/workshop with up and over doors, door to the side, power and light - subject to planning permission there is potential to convert into a granny annexe. The front garden is laid mainly to lawn with established trees including a eucalyptus and a walnut tree (subject to a TPO) and attractive shrub borders. A superbly designed covered garden room, is a great selling point and is complete with irrigation system for those looking to take this tropical space to the next level. Alternatively there is an easy transition back to the original swimming pool should this be desired. Extending from the rear elevation is a stunning south facing walled courtyard garden, beautifully landscaped to include a large terrace for al fresco dining, a pond, vegetable plot, well stocked flowering borders and a pergola providing afternoon shade. A covered passageway between the house and garage provides wood storage space and access through timber double doors to the front garden. The garage is of fantastic size and could lend itself to future conversion to a self contained annexe (STPP) should this be desired. It has a room built into the space at the rear, currently utilised as a gym/studio with working sauna.
