Lower Barn offers a beautifully presented detached barn conversion with a self-contained annexe next door, which could offer a great holiday let or rental to generate income for the next owner, or to give an elderly relative or grown up children their own space.
LOWER BARN: The main accommodation includes an upper level triple aspect living room which is spacious and enjoys a wood burning stove, some beautiful views, plus vaulted ceilings with character beams. The adjoining kitchen diner is also triple aspect and enjoys the same vaulted ceiling, with space for a good size dining table, plus a well fitted wood kitchen with integrated dishwasher and space for a range style cooker. The lower ground floor has three good sized bedrooms, the master enjoying an en-suite bathroom, plus built in wardrobes and the 2nd bedroom having a dressing/desk area and patio doors to the garden. There is also a white suite bathroom with shower over the bath. The property has had oil fired central heating installed by the current owner and is also double glazed.
THE ANNEXE: A self-contained two bedroom conversion, all on one level and benefiting from a good sized living kitchen area, plus two double bedrooms and a shower room. The annexe has central heating and its own patio area to the rear.
There is also a utility room with external access and so can be used by either/both properties.
OUTSIDE: The gardens are largely to the rear and side of the property with a good sized gently sloping lawn bordered with wood chippings, plus an outside seating/dining area immediately behind the house, a chicken run and an area formally used for vegetable plots.
A private lane runs between the properties and gives access to both the large workshop, which has garage door to front and ample space for cars and working in, plus access to the 2 acre field, which is split into two paddocks and which enjoys vehicular access from the country lane too. With the addition of stables, these paddocks would be ideal for horses.
