Description
The Barn is a handsome and characterful period property, nestled within a small group of homes in this lovely rural setting, with a long private approach. The property offers well presented accommodation with south-facing living space opening out to the garden.

The impressive fitted kitchen/dining room is contemporary in style with granite worktops, a large island breakfast bar and integrated appliances, including twin electric ovens, a microwave combi oven, two- burner gas hob, induction hob, a Fisher and Paykel American-style fridge/freezer and a Bosch dishwasher. The well proportioned reception room features a stylish wood burning stove and wood flooring. There are 3/4 bedrooms and two well appointed bath/shower rooms on the first floor, the principal bedroom being fitted with an attractive range of bespoke wardrobes and enjoying a lovely outlook.

Forming part of the walled garden, which is attached to a neighbouring outbuiding, the Barn enjoys a good level of privacy with a lovely red brick terrace accessible from the sitting room and the kitchen/breakfast room. The extensive grounds extend to about 5.86 acres in all and are a haven for wildlife, including swathes of woodland and several large ponds which will appeal to those looking to enjoy a rural life-style, with plenty of opportunity to fish for carp and large enough for a small rowing boat.

Of particular note is the pretty brick and weather boarded outbuilding which lies within the grounds.
