Welcome homeFrom the private lane turn right up onto the driveway, where there is ample parking for up to five cars with ease.Through the gate, the courtyard opens out with countryside views ahead. Step inside through wide glazed doors to vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams and underfloor heating. A central staircase rises from the heart of the space, sculptural in form. But first, from the large entrance space turn left into the kitchen.A Feast for the EyesCountry in style and carefully considered in layout, the kitchen, with Corian worktops, is both welcoming and wonderfully practical. A movable central island adds flexibility, with storage below for easy-to-reach essentials. Overhead, exposed beams lend a sense of age and authenticity, while an original lintel frames the window, a quiet nod to the barn's past.At the heart of the space, a classic oil-fired Rayburn brings more than just rustic charm. It takes care of the cooking, and also the hot water and underfloor heating, giving the kitchen warmth in every sense.Room for AllBeyond the kitchen, a bright and versatile space currently serves as a home office. With the open-plan layout offering subtle separation, it could just as easily become your studio, snug, or dining space.Further along, find a cosy bedroom with original stone lintel and deep-set window, where the beams above and fitted storage below strike a balance of character and comfort.Across the corridor, the principal suite is calm and generous. Twin windows frame green views, while exposed beams and stone details echo the home's heritage. An en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, corner bath and heated towel rail adds everyday ease.Effortless FlowRetrace your steps to the open-plan heart of the home and step into the living area, a space that feels almost storybook in its charm. At its centre, a vast, fairy-tale feature fireplace takes pride of place. Within the grand hearth, a multi-fuel stove crackles to life, filling the room with warmth and ambience.Light pours in from dual-aspect windows, framing countryside views and filling the room with softness throughout the day. With space for several armchairs and sofas, sink into comfort and while away the day lost in the pages of your favourite book. Or invite friends around for movie nights with popcorn against the glow of the fire.There's room, too, for a large dining table, perfect for long, laughter-filled evenings or quiet suppers by firelight. Whether gathered with family or enjoying a moment of stillness alone, this is a space made for connection, conversation and calm.Sweet DreamsFrom the living space, an oak staircase rises with quiet grandeur. The bishop's hat detailing on the bannisters echoes the soft arches found in the bespoke doors and windows, creating a sense of crafted continuity. At the top, a space opens up that is wonderfully versatile. Whether you imagine a reading chair, a record player and a stack of vinyl, or simply a place to pause and breathe, it's a quiet retreat from the world below.Turn into the family shower room, generous in size and gentle in style. A walk-in corner shower, WC and washbasin sit beneath a skylight, where morning light streams in to softly start the day.Two further double bedrooms await, each bright and welcoming. Built-in wardrobes keep things simple, and the vaulted angles add depth and charm.Before you leave this floor, take a peek into the linen room, where the hot water cylinder (electric immersion included) is neatly tucked away and built-in shelves keep essentials out of sight but close at hand. Overhead, a boarded loft space offers even more storage, or the potential to be so much more.Garden and GroundsFrom the private lane turn right up onto the generous driveway, with space to comfortably park up to five cars. To your right, a large outbuilding offers more than just practicality. Home to the washing machine and dryer, it's kitted out with cabinetry and storage, making it an ideal place to keep domestic life ticking quietly along, away from the main house.Step through the wooden gate and into the wide courtyard. Ahead, the landscape rolls out across open countryside, a view to breathe in every morning. There's room here for garden furniture, a dining table, even a hot tub if you wish. Pour your coffee, take a seat, and watch the sunrise.Gravel paths guide you to the upper garden, a suntrap for late afternoon light. Pause here with a glass of something cool, watch the sun melt into the horizon, and listen to the stillness settle in.Wander further, past the cheerful cluck of the chicken coop and alongside the fruit cage, where raspberries, rhubarb, and a host of soft berries grow in seasonal rhythm. Just beyond, an orchard of around twelve trees featuring apple, pear, and damson bring both blossom and harvest to the turning year.Continue along the private path, lined with wild flowers, and step beneath the archway to a hidden pocket of paradise. An area with composite decking underfoot provides the setting for effortless entertaining, and the Nordic hut offers shelter when needed. With, power, internet, and a central firepit at its heart, it's made for evenings with friends and family.Climb once more to find the raised vegetable beds, thriving under careful hands, a greenhouse prepped for the next season's seedlings adjacent to a large shed with electric supply , water, composting toilet and sink. Across the path there are further raised beds, a small pond and a solidly built potting shed with extensive views across fields and a lake where afternoons slip by in the quiet rhythm of gardening ** For more photos and information, download the brochure on desktop.
