The house was constructed in 2004 and was awarded the highest commendation for design by the Civic Trust in 2010 and featured in the magazine “25 Beautiful Homes” 2007. The Barns was constructed with energy efficiency in mind, and has been carefully designed to offer superb open plan living space, while respecting and retaining traditional character. The house has its origins in an old cow barn, and some of the old walls and the bull pens are still in situ. It was constructed using SIPs (structurally insulated panels), timber frames and breeze blocks. Modern features include high spec fixtures and fittings, full height windows, Porcelanosa tiling, PV panels, an electric car charge point, underfloor heating throughout controlled by Honeywell EVO system (installed 2016, Internet linked), glass balustrades and a passive air system to ensure a constant flow of fresh air. The house also has an integral centralised vacuum system. Doors from the entrance hall lead into the spectacular sitting / dining room. Full height windows flood the room with daylight, with the first floor gallery looking down from above. Douglas fir timber beams and a central stone feature chimney with log burner give it great character. One end of the room offers a TV seating area with smart display shelves. The middle of the room offers more formal living space, and at the end closest to the kitchen is a spacious dining area. There are doors leading out onto the terrace and garden. The adjacent kitchen was extended by the current owners in 2017 to integrate a more casual living space. The kitchen area has fitted cabinets, a central island with breakfast bar and Silestone surface, under worktop wine cooler, fridge freezer and Siemens high spec integrated appliances including a large wine cooler and an American style fridge freezer. 7 The extension adds a family seating and dining area overlooking the garden with doors leading outside. The utility room has fitted units and is plumbed for washing and drying appliances, with a laundry chute from the principal bedroom en suite above. From the entrance hall, a corridor leads to the boot room which has a dog shower, and the garage beyond. There is a ground floor bedroom which has an en suite shower room. This is currently used as a home office. There is also a separate ground floor WC. The first floor is approached by an open sided and ground lit staircase leading up from the entrance hall. The landing at the top has glass balustrades and overlooks the sitting / dining room below. There are four bedrooms upstairs, three of which have en suite bath / shower rooms. The principal bedroom is impressive, with exposed timber beams, fitted wardrobes, large Velux windows and an en suite bathroom with bath and shower cubicle. One of the bedrooms would make a good study if desired. OUTHOUSES The Barns has an integral double garage which is fitted with an electric vehicle charge point which is connected to the PV panels. The boiler room is accessed from here, and beyond the garage are the original bull pens which can offer either stabling, storage or the potential for further accommodation subject to the necessary consents.
