DESCRIPTION Clarklye Barn is an impressive country house, creatively converted from a substantial former barn complex, the elevations being part brick and weather-boarded. The property was converted around 2000 and the use of high quality materials is evident throughout including extensive use of solid oak, travertine tiles throughout much of the ground floor, timber- framed sealed unit double glazed windows, and an excellent oil-fired central heating system. The creative design sympathetically combines traditional and contemporary with the central galleried reception hall with glass-roofed atrium providing a focal point for this wonderful family home, which is ideal for parties and entertaining. The main features include: • Wide oak front door to entrance hall with large cloakroom and excellent coat/boot room with glazed sink and underfloor heating. The entrance hall opens through to the impressive 900 sq ft galleried reception hall with glass-roofed atrium and broad central staircase rising to the first floor galleried landing. • The 52-ft long drawing room and dining area engage with the galleried hall which together make an excellent entertaining space with full height and width windows as well as doors opening onto the south-facing terrace with farmland views beyond. The drawing room section has ceiling heights rising to full height, exposed brick walls, and an impressive brick inglenook-style fireplace. • The excellent and well-fitted double aspect kitchen with large central island and timber flooring opens into the breakfast/family room and has doors onto the west-facing terrace. • There is a separate utility room with adjoining cloakroom and a good sized study. • The billiard room has a fitted bar and further doors to the garden, and there are two ground floor bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms. • The first floor has a galleried landing.
