Description A most appealing character home, imaginatively converted in the late 1980’s from a traditional village barn. The barn is believed to have been built in the 19th century and has handsome brick and flint elevations under a clay tiled roof. The accommodation has been arranged to take advantage of the plot, with the bedrooms on the ground floor, and reception rooms and kitchen on the first floor. Twin glazed doors lead into a reception hall with feature fireplace, a staircase with wood balustrading leads to the first floor landing, and galleried study with Velux windows, guest cloakroom, spacious ‘L’ shaped sitting room with beautiful exposed timbers, feature brick and flint fireplace and chimney breast, and French doors onto a walkway across to the garden. The dining room leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a good range of modern units with oak worktops, and a central island with a granite top, and appliances including oven, combi oven with warming drawer, hob, extractor hood, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, and a spiral staircase leading down to the good sized utility room/ boot room. The master bedroom has a dressing area with built in wardrobes and a modern en suite shower room, the three further bedrooms are all doubles with fitted wardrobes, and there is a modern family bathroom. Throughout the property are character features including exposed timberwork and brickwork. The property was renovated by the present owners and the kitchen, bathroom and cloakroom fittings were all replaced. The central heating and hot water are serviced by an oil fired boiler with Hive digital remote control. Outside The house is approached by a shared tarmac driveway leading down to a shingle parking and turning area, and to the double garage with electric up and over door. The main area of garden lies on the south side and can also be approached via a walkway from the sitting room.
