It was sympathetically and impressively converted to dispel the myths about converted barns being dark and hard to accommodate modern living. Originally finished to an extremely high standard, the present owners have relentless strived to better the accommodation to create the impressive home that it is today. Spacious, flexible, light and in-tune with modern family living are all easy headlines for Penellick Barn. The accommodation is arranged over two levels with reversed level accommodation and an impressive open plan living room provides stunning views overlooking its beautiful gardens. Usually for this arrangement, the gardens are accessed at this level via a recently constructed Philip Wear conservatory. The natural topography of the site brilliantly leads itself to this arrangement. To the south, attached yet not adjoined, is a single storey annexe which has a wide range of uses either for a dependent relative or as a holiday cottage. ACCOMMODATION Crossing the threshold from an attractive storm porch, this is a perfect place to kick off boots, stairs lead to the first floor reception accommodation. Back on the ground floor on the right is the guest bedroom with its en suite facilities and walk-in wardrobe. The other two double bedrooms also enjoy their own en suite facilities. At the far end of the house is a utility room. Upstairs the dramatic vaulted sitting room offers terrific flexibility and is loosely divided into relaxing and dining areas. Doors lead to the recent conservatory which opens to the gardens beyond. The kitchen is beautifully finished with a red Aga and complementing cream units. A stable door opens to a terraced area to the side that connects the kitchen to the garden. Annexe The annexe has a spacious sitting area with high vaulted ceiling and an attractive open plan kitchen. The bedroom features a high vaulted ceiling and, again, there is a beautifully finished en suite facility to the rear.

The garden is landscaped and is predominantly laid to lawn with an array of specimen shrubs and mature borders. There is an area of raised vegetable garden and a glass house. Steps lead down to a lower level of garden where there is a most attractive water feature.
