5 Bedroom Barn Conversion for sale in Chippenham

Description

Four Ashes is a unique and stunning property rurally located amongst quiet country lanes on the edge of the village of Marshfield and just 1 mile from the High Street. Completed in 2023, the house has been the subject of an impressive transformation extending and renovating the former modest property into a stylish and immaculate rural home ready to move straight into. The barn conversion is accompanied by 3.8 acres occupying a very private setting screened by mature high hedging. 
 

Constructed with Cotswold stone and timber cladding elevations finished with aluminium glazed windows and doors, the U-shape design enjoys a south-westerly aspect overlooking its own grounds. The impressive accommodation extends to over 1,580 sq.ft. arranged over one storey and is warmed by underfloor heating throughout. At the heart of the home there is an open plan kitchen/dining room with a vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors spilling out to the front terrace. The terrace has been designed as an 'inside-outside' reception area ideal for entertaining complete with a water feature as the focal point. The living room has a cosy wood-burning stove and is dual-aspect through floor-to-ceiling windows and glazed external sliding doors. There are four double bedrooms and a versatile study/single fifth bedroom. Two of the bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, whilst there is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. The main bathroom and en-suite have been finished in a beautiful marble which accent the gold fittings. The property has been consciously designed for excellent efficiency to run benefitting from solar panels, air source heat pump and underfloor heating. 
 
The property is exceptionally well-equipped for the equestrian or smallholder. Facilities include four paddocks, a floodlight 20m x 45x arena, two stables, a tack room and a hay store. In addition, there is a superb modern barn which offers substantial secure storage with racking storage, electric roller shutter doors and concrete floor. All of the outbuildings have power connections and there is an outside hot water tap. The property is entered through double electric gates opening to a large gravelled forecourt complete with an EV charging point. 

 
Planning permission was granted in February 2023 (ref: P22/06191/HH) to construct a swimming pool with an outhouse in front of the property.
