A detached barn conversion dating back to 1887 and converted in 1982 with only two owners since.

A particular point of interest is the lovely garden to the rear with a southerly aspect and extending to 280' (85.5 m) .

Accommodation
The front door opens into an entrance porch with cloakroom off. The quarry tiled floors continue into the dining room which enjoys a double aspect with one door leading up to the sitting room, the real show stopper of this property. The vaulted ceiling with wood panelling and exposed A frames give a tremendous airiness to this room on top of enjoying a triple aspect with views down through the garden and access onto the patio via sliding doors. There are two feature curved recesses within this room and an impressive fireplace with woodburning stove inset (installed in 2019).

The other door from the dining room takes you into the stylish kitchen with beamed ceiling and also enjoying a double aspect. A Belling range-style cooker is fitted with gas hob and electric ovens as well as a dishwasher and a fridge and there is also the benefit of under unit lighting. Next to the kitchen is a utility room with external doors to both sides of the property and a connecting door to the double garage/workshop with power and light, workbench and extensive shelving. Stairs run up from the utility room to two double bedrooms (both with fitted wardrobes) and a shower room. Ideal for older children wanting more independence or as a visitor area there are two further bedrooms (both with fitted storage) and a well appointed bathroom reached from a stone staircase in the sitting room. This is currently used as a suite by the current owners. On this landing there is a useful walk-in airing cupboard with gas fired Vaillant boiler supplying central heating and hot water.

The second area of garden is less formal with a number of apple (eating and cooking) and plum trees as well as a vegetable garden and soft fruit area.
