Samuel, Middle Farm, Upper Benefield, Northamptonshire, PE8 5AN.

A unique barn conversion offering versatile accommodation with 4 or 5 bedrooms, garden, parking and exceptional rural views.

Location: Middle Farm is set in the heart of Upper Benefield. This attractive village evolved around the farms of the Biggin Estate, with many stone houses and cottages lining the street. The village has an active cricket club which serves as a 'pub'. The countryside around the village is accessible via a number of footpaths and bridleways. Oundle lies 5 miles away and offers a range of traditional family run shops, businesses and restaurants, as well a great choice of schooling. Corby is nearby and offers extensive facilities and a rail station with connections to London.

Middle Farm: Middle Farm comprises a stunning Grade II Listed

Georgian Farmhouse and a range of four traditional stone barns that are being converted to fine dwellings. Samuel is approached via the common drive, which passes the pond and willow tree before leading on to the gateway into the property.

Samuel: This is an attractive and striking conversion and extension of the former stables belonging to Middle Farm and the home of Samuel, reputed to be the most handsome working Shire horse in the county.

Tanchester Developments have designed and skilfully created a comfortable home that successfully combines modern and traditional materials, assembled by local craftsmen. Stone from the original quarry at Churchfield has been used for the extension to achieve the best match with the original building. Local joiners, Rockingham Joinery, have built and fitted the arched windows, the beautiful oak staircase and the traditional oak doors. The pr operty has under-floor heating fired by LPG.

The accommodation is set over two floors, and offers a degree of versatility in how many of the rooms are used. The entrance hall is the link between the original building and the extension. The slate floor is an attractive finish, off-set by the exposed stone walls and the oak staircase. To the left is the bedroom wing and to the right is the vast living room with ample space for dining and relaxation. The French doors open to the garden and afford a fantastic view over unspoilt countryside.

The kitchen / breakfast room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed joinery. An extensive range of units have been fitted with Corian work-surfaces, integrated sink with Quooker Boiling Tap. The island unit has a polished granite surface. A range of electrical appliances including a Neff Tip & Slide oven, are integrated.

The boot room is a useful and practical space and likely to be the door in daily use for the family. There is ample space for appliances, coats, boots and the dogs!

A corridor from the hall leads to three bedrooms, each with a beautifully crafted arched window. The first bedroom has a built- in wardrobe and a well-appointed en suite shower room. The middle bedroom also has a built in wardrobe. The last bedroom is sufficiently large to act as a snug or sitting room if required. The family bathroom is set off the corridor and is fitted with a quality suite with shower over the bath, WC and basin.

The oak stairs lead to the bridged landing. The master bedroom enjoys marvellous views over the neighbouring countryside from the Juliet balcony which has wrought ironwork by Kevin Griggs of Weekley. An en suite shower room is set adjacent.

A walk-through study area leads to a corridor in turn leading to the laundry, which contains a sink and ample space for appliances. It also houses the pressurised hot water cylinder and under-floor heating controls.

A very large bedroom or games room completes the accommodation. Pipework, electrics and ventilation are concealed within the eaves to facilitate the creation of an en suite bathroom if required.

Samuel has a gravelled drive providing parking. There are fenced gardens, laid to lawn to the front and rear, capturing the sunshine throughout the day. The views over the countryside are beautiful.
