Property description
I'll say something, it's not often that I am stumped for words, but this superb property is not your run-of-the-mill barn conversion and it really does take your breath away! Of course, at this price, you know it is going to be specialâ¦.Apart from the fine rural setting, it is the very fact that it has been enlarged that makes it unusual - how many EXTENDED barn conversions have you seen? - I would probably wager, possibly none. However, this family home bucks that trend and crikey, what an enormous difference it makes; there are virtually no long corridors (apart from the 42' landing!) usually associated with such properties. Not only that, the current owners have spared absolutely no expense in the fact that both extensions are bespoke additions by 'Border Oak' and as such, are simply fabulous, with high quality window frames and exposed timbers. There is simply 'oodles' of space, ideal for families who appreciate the finer things in life such as the peace and quiet of the open countryside. Many of the rooms seem to take you quite literally into the rear garden/paddock. It's hard to believe that this home is so close to civilization, especially considering the views towards the Welsh hills - come and live here and you will feel as though you are on holiday! You will also have the benefit of moving into a fastidiously clean and highly polished environment, testament to the current owners (so be prepared to remove your shoes when viewing!). Attention to detail includes the retention of the original sandstone staircase that leads upstairs and the wealth of beams, combined with modern contemporary features, in a very subtle manner. There are any number of reception rooms downstairs in which to sit and relax (or get away from other family members) and the granite breakfast kitchen is a great place to meet up and perch on a stool at the breakfast bar - all very sociable! Upstairs, there are 5 double bedrooms, 2 having en-suite facilities, plus a family bathroom. In order to compliment the size of the accommodation, a 1-acre paddock, approached from the rear garden was acquired and there maybe the possibility of further land, by separate negotiation, if required. This really is a great place to live, especially as it is only a couple of miles from Whitchurch and is thus easily accessible for larger conurbations including Chester, Shrewsbury, Wrexham and Wolverhampton. The lovely photographs really only paint part of the picture and I would strongly recommend that you book a viewing to fully appreciate just what is on offer. I doubt you will be disappointed!
