House For Sale £2,000,000
East Barn was probably originally a Quaker barn built circa 400 years ago. In those days agricultural barns were constructed using timber recycled from retired sailing ships. The barn was moved to the present location and converted to a residential property in the 1950s and then updated and extended about twelve years ago to make a wonderful family home.
This home is entered via the welcoming reception hallway where you are greeted with a light and bright area which sets the tone for this contemporary home. The house has been thoughtfully and stylishly decorated. Exuding quality and style from the moment you step through the front door, it offers a beautiful light-filled interior which is homely and chic.
The heart of this home is a spectacular kitchen/ breakfast/family room with underfloor heating and perfectly positioned with views over the garden. The kitchen, featuring a vaulted ceiling, has that feeling of openness and space and is the more modern part of this home having been added around twelve years ago. Also practical, the kitchen is tastefully fitted with plenty of units and complete with integrated Miele appliances including the induction hob, microwave, conventional and steam ovens.
The large central island and breakfast bar houses a wine fridge as well as further storage. Complementing the kitchen, is the utility room, with a Miele washing machine and tumble drier and plenty more storage too. From this room there is access to the garage and garden via a stable door. The dining area enjoys views to the rear garden and with the benefit of large windows and doors leading out onto the patio and lawn. This is a wonderful place to entertain and dine.
The reception rooms create a wonderful flow to the downstairs accommodation which offers flexibility to suit your individual family needs. There is a media room/snug, cosy and welcoming, compete with bespoke fitted shelves, ideal for a movie night or gathering with friends. The main lounge is full of character, including an Inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, an exceptional room for both family time and entertaining and an adjacent, separate study/home office, with doors allowing the privacy of working from home. A ground floor cloakroom completes this floor.
In the passageway and upstairs you feel the amazing barn character of this home. The exposed recycled ship timber beams provide a charming finish but also allow the space to be truly enjoyed. The mezzanine landing and passage links four bedrooms in total; to one end is a double bedroom, accessed via its own steps, providing a tranquil room with the benefit of a luxury en suite bathroom and concealed walk-in wardrobe/dressing room.
