A Characterful Barn Conversion With Office And Studio Outbuilding, Set In A Delightful Garden

West Barn is a superb quality conversion of a barn originally dating from the 1830s by Master Builders Ansell & Sons of Ockley, founded in 1791, who specialise in heritage buildings. It is conveniently situated on the edge of Warnham Parish as one of two barns and a granary, all converted and rebuilt around 1989 on the site of the former Stone Farm.
This beautiful home has four bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities, plus a family bathroom. In addition, there is a substantial well-insulated fully serviced log cabin in the garden, currently used as a studio, affording further guest accommodation with ensuite facilities.
An impressive reception hall, with a high vaulted ceiling, leads to a large L-shaped sitting-room with open fireplace, and dining area. The fourth bedroom is on the ground floor, plus the well-appointed recently-renewed kitchen, and ample storage cupboards.
Throughout there is fine bespoke oak joinery, a speciality of Ansell & Sons, contributing to the great character and charm of the property, which must be seen to be appreciated.
The vaulted entrance hallway has recently-replaced solar glass tractor windows, and a useful under-stairs storage cupboard. The downstairs WC has a utility cupboard.
The sitting-room, with its open ‘Jetmaster’ fireplace and dining area, overlooks the garden and has easy access to the arbour sitting area and garden.
The kitchen/breakfast room was refitted in 2020 with a bespoke selection of units. There is a gas/electric Rangemaster cooking range, plus granite and oak work surfaces.
On the first floor is a galleried landing leading to the bedrooms and family bathroom. The principal bedroom looks out over the adjacent fields, ancient woodland, Leith Hill and the Surrey Hills (all very refreshing to wake up to). It is equipped with ample fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room.
There is a further double bedroom (currently used as a nursery/dressing-room) and a modern family bathroom. The remaining vaulted double bedroom has air-conditioning as well as a newly-fitted en-suite shower room.
Throughout the property there are double-glazed windows. A two-year-old Grant high-efficiency oil fired boiler provides hot water and central heating to radiators, via a Hive thermostat. The property is served by ultra-fast fibre-optic broadband.
