Originally forming part of the traditional 18th century farm steading adjacent to Kaimflat Farmhouse. Fox Covert has been cleverly designed to create a rustic conversion which encapsulates the industry of its past. This wonderful barn conversion has an expansive floor area of approx. 418m² and designed to create a luxurious home without compromising its original structure. The envelope of this stone building has been ingeniously conserved with the previous openings redesigned into doors and windows. Internally, the conservation continues with the lofty main living area which stretches over 11m with its timber columns, beams, and vaulted ceiling. The kitchen / dining / sitting room has a dramatic feel with the large bespoke bifold door / window which almost fills the end wall. A timber clad porch gives access to the large reception hall, which gives further access to the rest of the property. The ground floor has a wet room/bathroom, large utility/boiler room, 3 double bedrooms and a home cinema room. The stairs from the reception hall open out into a bright spacious family room with windows, rooflight and a Juliet balcony, probably formed from the hayloft door. The family room has a wood-burning stove at one end and fitted bookcases and viewing gallery to the vaulted living area below. The master bedroom suite is also on the first floor with high coomb ceilings, walk-in wardrobe and luxury fitted bathroom with a further Juliet balcony. This barn conversion has quality fittings and double-glazed timber windows with all the decor and windows painted in shades that enhance this conversion.
