House For Sale £475,000
An attached barn conversion tucked away in this sought-after village offering particularly spacious first floor accommodation, low-maintenance garden and integral garage.
The Property
Offering well-presented character accommodation, this attached barn conversion would be ideal for those buyers who are looking to retain good room sizes and the feel of a period house but would prefer slightly less to maintain.
Tucked away from busy traffic the property is set back slightly from the no-through lane by its garden, with gravel driveway to the front. A UPVC double glazed front door opens into a spacious hall with central turning staircase leading to the first floor. Cupboards have been cleverly incorporated into the stairs to create extra storage space, and to one corner is a handy downstairs cloakroom attractively fitted with heritage style suite and panelling. A glazed door leads through to the well-proportioned sitting room with southerly facing window and french doors leading out to the manageable garden. The chimney breast houses an lpg gas fire (see agents note) and to one side period style shelving and a storage cupboard are fitted into the alcove.
Across the hall, is a formal dining room with bow window on the south side and adjacent to this is the kitchen / breakfast room. There are two windows to the rear letting in plenty of natural light, and it is fitted with a range of light wood units and pale worktops incorporating one and a half bowl single drainer stainless steel sink unit, space for a freestanding electric oven, space for under-counter fridge and further space for a dishwasher. To one side is ample room for a breakfast table, whilst beyond is a separate utility area with further useful sink unit, storage and plumbing for your washing machine. A convenient door leads directly through into the integral garage which has plenty of space for further items such as a freezer should you wish, or scope to convert into further accommodation.
On the first floor the galleried landing leads in two directions. To the west side of the property is a lovely master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe / dressing area with hanging space and shelving to one corner. To the other side, a second archway leads through to en suite facilities including a wash area with vanity wash hand basin, shaver socket and storage and separate door through to the shower room with generous shower cubicle and WC. A velux window to the rear provides light and extra ventilation.
From the landing a further door opens to another double room with southerly aspect and exposed feature ceiling beams. The family bathroom is also light and airy with large velux window to the rear and is fitted with white suite including panelled bath with mains shower over and screen, heritage style wash hand basin and WC, with built-in corner storage cupboard to one side. The inner landing is currently fitted with a two deep fitted storage cupboards but there is ample room here to adapt or alter this area to create a reading nook, study area or space for your favourite piece of furniture. Beyond is another very generous double or twin bedroom with sunny aspect and more exposed beams.
