DESCRIPTION Longacre is a characterful and spacious barn conversion, designed to maximise its location and views. Whilst sitting on the footprint of a former dairy barn complex, it was newly constructed around 1989/90 using many of the original materials including stone elevations and original timber beams. It thus benefits from modern building regulations, plumbing and electrical services. Cavity walls are clad with stonework to produce deep window reveals. It has since benefitted from the addition of fabulous green oak extensions, adding further space and character to the building. The property has been impeccably maintained throughout and sits well within its plot of approximately 1.1 acres, enjoying wonderful views over its gardens and grounds, which include a magical stream fed lake. ACCOMMODATION The building provides a versatile layout arranged over various levels, including generous reception rooms and four double bedrooms. The sitting room has an inglenook fireplace with Morso wood burning stove. From here, there is a stunning vaulted oak frame garden/dining room, with views over the gardens towards the lake. The kitchen is fully fitted with modern appliances and there is a separate utility/laundry room and cloakroom. In addition, there is also a games room or reception hall on the eastern side of the building. The master bedroom suite has an en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom has a vaulted oak frame en suite bathroom. French doors open from this bedroom onto a terrace. There are two further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study and the other a dressing room to the master bedroom suite. There is a separate family bathroom. GARDENS AND GROUNDS The property is approached over a gravelled drive with ample parking and turning to the front of the double garage. There is a workshop with a mezzanine, together with a garden store and subject to the necessary planning consents, the building lends itself to a number of uses.
