The five-bedroom property of part-period construction has over 2,685 sq ft of stylish accommodation and unspoiled field views to the rear, creating what selling agent Hammond & Stratford calls a “harmonious blend of contemporary convenience and period charm”.

It features double glazing throughout, along with oil fired central heating and underfloor heating to the ground floor.

At the heart of the barn is a dual-aspect open-plan living area with vaulted ceilings and expansive windows allowing in lots of natural light. It is a wonderful space for entertaining and relaxing, with a modern inset woodburner and a sleek spiral staircase rising to a galleried landing with glass balustrades.

Off this room is the equally impressive kitchen/breakfast room, which has exposed beams to the ceiling and dark, shaker-style units.  Integrated appliances include two ovens, a microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine.

A set of full-height sliding doors opposite the workspace allow seamless access into the garden.

Three of the barn’s five bedrooms are located on the ground floor, with one currently used as a study. With exposed beams and wood panel accent walls, these rooms offer a peaceful retreat, and are served by a family bathroom with four-piece suite.

The stunning, south-east facing rear garden is described as “a tapestry of greenery”, with an expansive lawn framed by mature hedges.

It features a variety of meticulously placed mature shrubs and flowerbeds, plus raised vegetable beds – making it ideal for eager gardeners to grow everything from flowers to edibles.

There is also an inviting decking area accessible from the house, which is perfect for al fresco meals enjoyed whilst looking out over the fields to the rear.
