Property description
DESCRIPTION
This super 3 bedroom detached barn is believed to have been part of the East Sutton Park Estate and dates originally to be over 400 years old. It is Grade II Listed but has only recently converted in 2009 to a very high standard and must be viewed. The sitting room has an open fireplace with wood burner and there are beams and original features throughout. The property has Calor gas central heating and private drainage. Although originally part of a working farm, the barn has its own individual driveway and there is off road parking for several cars. The gardens extend to the rear and there is an added strip to the side with a small fenced off pond and which looks over fields to the side and countryside beyond.
