A stunning converted barn, believed to date back to the 17th century and beautifully converted to an exceptional standard throughout. The house has been extensively renovated in recent years to create a well-balanced and spacious property with excellent versatility, ideal for bringing up a family or entertaining. The floor plan of about 2188 sq ft offers a wealth of space, including two generous reception rooms and a fabulous kitchen/breakfast room which serves as the heart of the family home, well appointed with appliances including a Lacanche range stove, as well as oak and Corian work surface which complement the country-inspired fitted units.
Though modernised throughout, the house has been converted in a sympathetic manner to preserve many of its lovely character features, such as exposed timber beams and original stone walls. These are complemented by an array of desirable features, including a brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, oak-framed windows and doors and a matching staircase plus aged timber floors. The neutral colour scheme lets the character of the home shine through.
