House For Sale £975,000
Truly a one off barn conversion set in extensive grounds with outbuildings and wonderful open countryside all around.
Description
Lake House Barn was converted in 1991 to an exceptionally high standard with a wealth of intricate craftmanship which includes Brazilian mahogany panelling, exposed ceiling beams and a level of detail that is rarely found in homes of the modern era. This has been a well loved family home that is now offered with no onward chain and will appeal to those seeking country living within easy reach of the motorway and with a true sense of privacy within it’s extensive grounds.
A secure gated driveway sweeps around to the front of the property, passing a double garage at the entrance to a large turning area adjacent to the home. A large reception hallway with a fine mahogany staircase immediately creates an impressively characterful entrance, leading through to a very generous sitting room with a large stone built fireplace creating a fine focal point to the room. Double doors open directly to the lawned gardens, To one side of the sitting room and accessed from both the front and rear is an enormous conservatory, capturing a good deal of morning sunshine. The large solid oak kitchen/diner is sensibly at the heart of the home, with an expanse of marble worktops, a range stove set with a stone chimney breast and a very pleasant, light area offset from the main kitchen for dining with family and friends. The separate utility is located directly off the kitchen and there is a useful downstairs shower room/wc in the adjacent inner lobby. There are five bedrooms in total, with four accessed from the main staircase and the fifth above the adjoining double garage, all of which could be converted into an annexed wing for a dependant relative.
The grounds that surround the house are predominantly laid to lawn but incorporate flagstone terraces, a pergola and a decorative water feature with fountain. Beyond the gardens lie open farmland. Mature trees on the borders provide attractive screening and shelter from prevailing winds.
