3 Bedroom Barn Conversion for sale in Newark

3 3 2

Crane Cottage is an individual very well presented three bedroom attached barn conversion, traditionally constructed in brick under a pantiled roof and occupying a particularly private, fully enclosed plot within the conservation area in the heart of the highly regarded village of Farndon.

The property offers spacious and well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, with three generous double bedrooms and two en-suite shower rooms. The accommodation has mahogany-framed double glazed windows and a gas-fired central heating system with a modern Viessmann boiler installed in 2019.

The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall, downstairs Cloakroom, an impressive lounge dining room extending to approximately 26ft, a spacious dining kitchen and a separate utility room. On the first floor, the landing gives access to three spacious and well-lit double bedrooms. The principal bedroom and bedroom two both benefit from en-suite shower rooms.

The property is principally arranged to one aspect and enjoys a pleasant outlook over its own gardens. The established boundaries and gated entrance create a particularly private and secluded environment.

The landscaped gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with paved pathways and a patio terrace adjoining the front of the property. An ornamental pond provides an attractive focal point and the gardens contain a variety of established trees and shrubs, providing seasonal interest and a good degree of natural screening.

A brick boundary wall extends along the Main Street frontage, with close-boarded timber fencing completing the enclosure. An electrically operated sliding wrought-iron entrance gate opens onto a substantial private driveway, providing off-road parking for approximately five vehicles and access to the attached double garage.

The double garage has two up-and-over entrance doors and the unusual feature of a roof-mounted clock tower incorporating three automatic, illuminated clock faces.

Crane Cottage combines the character and individuality of a traditional barn conversion with spacious accommodation, excellent parking and an unusually private garden setting, all within one of the area's most sought-after villages.
