Property description
* ENVIABLE TUCKED-AWAY LOCATION! * Nestled in one of the prettiest lanes in this delightful sought-after village, SHIPPENSTONE (the name means \"a stable made of stone\") was tastefully and sympathetically converted from a barn in the 1990s from an original design by renowned local architect David Granger. This good-sized well-presented home is one of only four similar quality barn conversions arranged around a prestigious courtyard setting and situated on a pleasant tree-lined lane in the heart of the village. Improvements to the property by the present owners include: a kitchen with oak-fronted units and a refitted en suite shower room to the master bedroom. The spacious rear garden enjoys a backdrop of mature trees and is not overlooked. A rare opportunity to acquire a desirable home in this enviable location. Single garage and Parking. Viewing of this superb residence is enthusiastically recommended.
