An Exceptional Converted Barn With Extensive Features Set Within A Tranqui

This exceptional converted barn comes with extensive glazing, allowing for an abundance of natural light, that perfectly showcases the drama of the exposed timber structure, combined with contemporary styling.

Internally, the accommodation offers both formal and informal rooms that create a U shape around a recently finished terrace-style courtyard, with doors leading out from most of the ground floor, making this the ideal layout for entertaining. Open to the rafters, the vaulted reception room creates a striking first impression and is centred around a modern freestanding fireplace, with open apertures linking to a dining room and an intimate sitting room beyond. Glazed bi-fold doors provide a seamless connection between inside and out from both the dining area and the adjacent kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with sleek cabinetry, stone work surfaces and integrated appliances, and features a large island unit with breakfast bar, providing space for informal seating.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across two wings, with the principal suite offering a ground-floor retreat. It benefits from doors opening onto the courtyard garden, together with a spacious dressing room and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. Two further en suite bedrooms are situated on the opposite side of the house, while a timber staircase rises to a fourth bedroom with a contemporary shower room. A further staircase leads to a mezzanine study overlooking the impressive reception room below.

The contemporary limestone paved courtyard garden is enclosed on three sides by the house and features structured, architectural planting and lighting making this a real feature of this fine home.

To the rear, a large paved terrace provides a further setting ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this, an expanse of lawn is bordered by mature shrubs and specimen trees, with a pond set within a more naturalistic area at the far end of the grounds.

The property is approached by two entrances, the left of the plot leading to the parking area for numerous vehicles. This gives access to the double garage with attached store along with the main gardens, whilst to the other entrance are the electric gates that open into the private courtyard giving a sense of seclusion and privacy. The grounds extend to about 2 acres.
