The barn is thought to have been converted in the mid 1990s, to create a well-proportioned property with accommodation arranged over two floors, built primarily of stones elevations, with brick quoins, under a pitched tiled roof. The developers were very sympathetic during the conversion and have retained a number of period features, none more so than a wooden wheel that is still in situ on the first floor landing. Accommodation The wooden front door opens into a spacious cross passage style hallway, with partially exposed brick walls, an external door to the rear courtyard, door to the sitting room and a wooden stair case, with under-stairs cupboard. The oak wooden floor continues in an L-shape past a study area overlooking the rear courtyard, towards the kitchen, dining room and cloakroom. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wooden fronted wall and base units and finished with laminate worktops with an inset sink and drainer unit set under one of the two frontal aspect windows. The kitchen also has a tiled floor, exposed beams in the ceiling and a stable style external door to the front. The dining room is beautifully proportioned, has a dual aspect and again a wonderful beamed ceiling which is also evident in the sitting room, which enjoys a delightful fireplace with an inset high quality Clearview wood burning stove set on a slate hearth with heavy beam over and exposed brick surround and back. The sitting room also has a large floor to ceiling side window and partially glazed double doors which open into the south westerly facing side garden. The adjoining study is again a good size, has an external door into the rear courtyard and could have a number of other uses depending on requirements. The first floor landing links all four double bedrooms, the airing cupboard and the family bathroom, has an exposed wooden floor, and as previously stated has a feature old wooden wheel still within the beamed apex ceiling in situ, which is thought to have been well used in the barns former life.
