Description
5 Manor Farm Barns is an impressive Grade II listed threshing barn dating back to the late 18th Century, situated within the Tarlton Conservation Area, which is within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Many original details remain including exposed stone walls; arrow slit windows; blue brick paving and blue brick pillars; whilst more contemporary features include hardwired internet access throughout; underfloor heating to the ground floor; and a heat exchange/ventilation system. Of particular note is the soaring 42’ threshing barn itself, with glazed screens to the retained cart entrances and a beamed and vaulted ceiling. With its open fireplace and the adjacent formal dining hall, which also has an open fire, it is an enviable space for entertaining. The property is beautifully presented and was redecorated throughout, both externally and internally, in 2021.
The front door opens into a hallway with a guest cloakroom and double doors to the spacious dining hall, which has two sets of part glazed doors leading to the threshing barn. To the other side of the dining hall is a delightfully sunny morning room, with pale limestone paved flooring, doors to the other principal ground floor rooms, and part glazed doors leading to the sheltered paved courtyard garden. The well-proportioned sitting room has exposed beams and a fireplace with a limestone mantel and wood-burning stove. A glazed door leads to the garden and another to the spacious kitchen/breakfast/family room. This farmhouse style room is the heart of the home, with a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and exposed stone walling. Bespoke timber kitchen units incorporate a large island unit; a four oven Aga with an ancillary electric hob; and space for a dishwasher.
The adjacent utility/boot room has further storage units, space for an American style fridge freezer and space for laundry appliances. Beyond is a broad through passage/ store, which leads from the courtyard garden at the front to the lawned garden to the side. It houses the recently replaced oil fired boiler (March 2022). To the rear of the morning room a door leads to the cosy library, which has a fireplace with a wood burning stove and a range of rustic bookshelves. A glazed door to the side leads to the rear driveway. Two double bedrooms are situated off the library and share a Jack and Jill wet room.
A fine oak staircase rises from the dining hall to a half landing with broad fitted cupboards and thereafter to the first floor and the generous Principal suite. This comprises a vaulted principle bedroom with a wall of bespoke wardrobes, a tastefully fitted bathroom with a bath, separate shower and heritage double basin. Also, off the master bedroom landing is a fully fitted dressing room.
A second staircase leads from the rear of the library to a second landing and access to two spacious vaulted double bedrooms with dormer windows overlooking farmland and ensuite bathrooms. (One of these bedrooms formerly had a door through to the dressing room, which could be re-instated).
The property is accessed via electronic gates leading to the front of the property, with a gravel turning circle and ample parking enclosed by Cotswold stone walls. Full height timber doors open to the cart entrance of the threshing barn, which is paved with blue brick and could accommodate a car. To one side, an oak door leads to the workshop area, which also has three sets of part glazed doors opening to the drive. Subject to necessary permission, this could be converted to create further accommodation. An iron gate to one side leads to the sheltered paved courtyard garden and to the through store which has double timber doors to both sides and leads to the garden.
A further set of electronic gates to the rear of the threshing barn leads to a second driveway, which will accommodate several vehicles and has a raised vegetable bed, fruit cage, aluminium greenhouse, timber storage shed and a concealed area for the oil tank. Double doors lead to the rear cart entrance and a door to the side leads to a further covered passage, which leads to the rear garden.
The rear garden has been carefully designed to provide different sheltered seating areas and is predominantly laid to lawn; with various shrubs and trees; two interconnected ornamental ponds and an attractive circular timber garden store with a thatched roof. It is adjacent to farmland and has a peaceful and uninterrupted outlook. There is a contemporary timber garden room with power and wired internet access. The garden room is not included in the sale but could be available by negotiation.
5 Manor Farm Barns enjoys a right of way over the driveway leading to both entrances of the property and contributes ashare to the maintenance costs thereof.
