The integrity of the buildings has been conserved using carefully matched bricks to connect the buildings, skillfully creating a superb 3700 sq ft family house with an additional garage and store, both integral. Architectural details have been restored and retained including mellow oak beams over the fireplaces, deep sills and double ceiling heights, all complemented by internal oak doors, solid oak floorboards, hardwood timber windows, Morso wood-burning stoves and high end fixtures and fittings in the bathrooms and kitchen.The main entrance hall has an oak staircase that climbs past double height glazing to a galleried landing, evoking the property's barn heritage. Two appealing reception rooms sit either side of the hall, both with wood burning stoves housed in handsome brick fireplaces with characterful, mellow oak beams inset above. The magnificent kitchen/dining room is a large light room with a double height ceiling comfortably able to accommodate a family-sized dining table and sofa, with an oversized glazed door to the courtyard garden and front access via a boot room/porch. The kitchen itself has an island unit with large breakfast bar, granite worktops, Butler sink, integrated appliances including a wine fridge and built-in microwave and ample space for an American fridge freezer; a utility room, wc and purpose-built office are adjacent. This section of the house connects the stables and granary and the entire space is single storey with high ceilings into the roof space. The northern wing could easily service as a self-contained guest annexe or granny flat with potential for an independent entrance on to the drive, subject to planning consent. This area is currently arranged as a music and games room connecting to the courtyard garden, with a staircase hall giving access to the first floor with two bedrooms and a Jack & Jill bathroom.The principal bedroom suite has bespoke fitted wardrobes, wall-to-wall as well as flanking the super kingsize bed. The en suite bathroom has a heated towel rail, bath tub, shower and counter top basin as does the house bathroom which services two additional double bedrooms. Both bathrooms have underfloor heating. There is potential to extend upwards into the loft space, which is part boarded.Outside - Electric wrought iron gates open to a gravelled drive with beech hedging on the boundary and a row of cherry trees and silver birch on the other side. The drive leads to a block paved parking area for two cars in front of the house; here is an outside socket and tap. The drive sweeps around to the rear and to the integral double garage with mezzanine level, power, light and electric doors. The extensive rear garden extends behind the house; it is predominantly lawned with a mature apple tree taking centre stage, bounded to the east with high timber fencing and to the remaining sides by well-established hedging. A five-bar gate with a post and rail fence opens to the long grass paddock with its timber shed/store. The walled courtyard garden is a lovely space accessed at three points from the house and enjoying plenty of sunshine throughout the day. There are summer flowering climbers on the mellow brick wall where a row of specimen trees have been planted within raised herbaceous beds. A circular stone bed houses a spring-flowering magnolia underplanted with spring bulbs. This is a private and sheltered space ideal for outside entertaining, barbecues and sitting out in the sunshine.
