Lower Stirrup Barn is one of those homes that rarely comes to market. Beautifully presented from top to bottom, it blends character with contemporary style and makes the most of its incredible views over the surrounding countryside.Approached via a quiet lane, you arrive through double gates into a gravelled parking area. A grand entrance takes you into a striking vaulted, galleried hallway, with a double-height ceiling and a suspended walkway linking the upstairs rooms, it’s a real statement feature.Double doors open into the main reception room, a generous living space with two standout details, a contemporary log burner and a stunning picture window framing the countryside beyond. Each window is finished with a large timber mantel that adds character.From here, more double doors lead into the kitchen. Hand-built wall and base units are paired with marbled worktops to create a high-quality, timeless finish. It’s a great space for entertaining, with a large breakfast bar set up adjacent to the kitchen island and bi-fold doors that lead out onto the rear lawn. Off the entrance hall you’ll also find a great-sized utility, a modern bathroom with a four-piece suite, and two of the four double bedrooms. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a study, but both are tucked away from the main living spaces, offering peace and privacy.Upstairs, the galleried landing makes an immediate impression with vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams, continuing the property’s character and charm. On either side are two further bedrooms. The master, at the front, shares the same sweeping views as the living room and comes with a large walk-in dressing room and a beautifully finished en-suite. Across the landing, the second main bedroom also includes a dressing room and already has plumbing in place for an additional en-suite if desired. Both bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and decorative windows that highlight the barn’s original character.Outside, the plot extends to around 0.2 acres and enjoys uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. Most of the garden is laid to lawn, sloping gently up to a covered outdoor dining area, perfect for a barbecue or relaxed entertaining with unspoilt vistas. At the lower end of the garden, a shed sits beside a well-established flowerbed that brings colour throughout the year. A real plus point to the garden, is it gets uninterrupted sun all day!
