</br>
<b>Description</b>
Quarry Croft is a delightful former barn, having been converted into a three-bed home in 2001, constructed from stone under tiled roofs. The property is complimented by an excellent range of outbuildings providing stabling, garaging, and storage, along with a generous extent of paddock land and a manège.
</br>
<b>Accommodation</b>
Quarry Croft is entered through a partially glazed oak front door into a well proportioned open plan living-dining kitchen offering the ideal space for modern day living whilst offering an abundance of charm and character with exposed wooden ceiling beams. The fantastic traditional farmhouse kitchen area is centred around an island unit and has shaker style cabinetry sitting below Silestone worktops. There is a full range of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, oven, combination oven, American style fridge freezer with water and ice dispenser and an oil-fired aga. Off the kitchen is a well-placed dining area, behind which is a utility room and guest cloakroom.
</br>
Off the kitchen is a large sitting room of about 22’8” x 14’2” (max.) with beamed ceiling, a log burner within a red brick inglenook fireplace, and delightful views over the paddock and to woodland beyond. On the western elevation is a garden room which has been sympathetically constructed to blend with the original building. It has oak framed windows to two elevations which provide far reaching rural views, whilst French doors open out onto the wide terrace.
</br>
From the ground floor, an oak staircase rises to the first floor and gives access to a spacious principal bedroom of about 22’7” x 14’2” (6.88m x 4.33m) (max.) with dual aspect windows, fitted furniture and an en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and a well-appointed family bathroom.
</br>
<b>Outbuildings and facilities</b>
A tarmac yard area provides parking adjacent to the barn conversion and access to a large steel framed building which offers three garage bays, a workshop and potting shed and first floor storage; the floor area is about 2,489 sq ft (gross internal area – gia). An alarmed stable range offers five boxes, and a tack room and store, with power and water connected. A former stable and store of stone brick construction off the driveway might offer potential to be converted to a range of uses, perhaps to include additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. A steel framed barn of circa 60’ x 19’ (18.4 mx 5.8 m) provides useful storage. The manège has a rubber and sand surface and adjoins the land and buildings to the north, further extending the equestrian facilities of the property.
</br>
<b>Gardens and Grounds</b>
Quarry Croft is approached via a tree lined driveway which splits to the right and loops past the outbuildings and links to yards and parking areas. The main driveway also continues straight along the south side of the buildings and leads to a gate providing vehicle access to the paddock land.
</br>
The property has the benefit of two terraces, one off the kitchen area which makes the most of the morning sun, and a delightful rear patio accessed off the garden room which overlooks the formal gardens and paddocks beyond. The formal garden is mostly laid to lawn, and is peppered with evergreens, fruit trees and mature shrubs, whilst a vegetable garden is situated by the potting shed. A ha-ha ensures clear views to the west from the garden. The paddock land extends to circa 9.12 acres and is divided into two principal enclosures with access from the drive and from the yard. Water is connected.
</br>

Fitted carpets are included within the sale. All other fixtures, fittings and furniture such as curtains, light fittings, other garden ornaments and statuary are excluded from the sale. Some may be available by separate negotiation.
