Maison, Vue Sur L'enclos, Mangrove Green, Cockernhoe, North Herts

Beautifully situated, Cottonwood Barn is a former agricultural building, converted to a house in 1997. It retains traditional weatherboard elevations and an exposed timber frame, complemented by modern features including underfloor heating
and a built-in sound system.

The house opens into a spectacular open-plan living and dining area beneath a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and brickwork. It is centred around an inglenook fireplace and
is zoned for relaxed seating and formal dining. Double-height glazing and French doors overlook south-facing gardens. The northern elevation features a full-glazed wall, with a versatile snooker room/study, with an inglenook fireplace, leading through to the kitchen/breakfast room. Centred around a generous island, the impressive kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances, including a microwave, a range cooker set within a brick surround and an American-style fridge freezer. A utility room with a cloakroom and garage access lie beyond. Two double bedrooms and a shower room complete the ground floor.
The staircase rises to a first-floor gallery overlooking the living space and leading to the principal bedroom, a private retreat with
dressing room and stylish en suite bath and shower room. A further staircase leads to a mezzanine providing useful storage or a quiet study space. At the opposite end is a fourth double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a further mezzanine, offering useful storage or dressing space.
