OVERVIEW
Quirkily converted, charmingly unique and sympathetically presented - where do we start with this beautiful barn conversion! An eye for detail has been evident during the conversion with many features enhanced or repurposed from other buildings - some of the internal doors have been salvaged from a church, the spiral staircase from a post office and a wonderful wrought metal internal window from a dairy, all skilfully blended with exposed beams, thick set walls and period windows. The current layout offers versatility - on the ground floor is a good sized family dining space, kitchen and a utility plus two bedrooms and a bathroom. Moving to the first floor is an impressive sitting room with a vaulted ceiling height of 13' 10" (4.22m) and a minstrels gallery. There is a further master bedroom, wetroom and study on the first floor. Moving outside, the current owners have created a wonderful garden space using traditional cottage planting, seating and entertaining areas plus a pond with water feature. The attached barn/garage offers further potential and is currently used for storage and there is ample parking and turning space. A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this fantastic family home.
