House For Sale £950,000
Entrance Hall - Lounge - Kitchen/ Diner - Three Bedrooms - Bathroom - En-Suite - Front And Rear Gardens - Driveway - Double Garage
On asking the seller what had initially attracted them to this property, the response was a little surprising. At the time it had been the location but there had not been much else to get excited about.
It was then explained that the owner had purchased the plot upon which a barn had once stood. Flattened by the Hurricane of 1987, he had then spent some time rebuilding and further enhancing the barn so it became the stunning home that it is today.
There is a rather impressive entrance, with glass windows surrounding a sturdy front door that opens onto the landing. From here one can descend to the spacious and well fitted kitchen / dining room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Alternatively you can take the stairs up to the magnificent lounge which has a vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams and columns. This provides a sense of grandeur, space and light which does literally take the breath away.
An imposing wood burner provides a grand focus to this room as well as a cosy warmth during a long winter's night. It should also be noted that heating throughout the property is by way of an air source heat pump and there is also the reassurance of knowing that there is double glazing throughout.
Adjacent to the lounge is the master bedroom with its en-suite.
Access to the attractive and sunny garden is through the kitchen patio door. This is well stocked with a variety of trees, shrubs, plants and flowers. Another charming feature is the stream that winds through the garden. There is wooden decking and an extensive porcelain tile patio that provides a sunny spot for the garden table and chairs. For garden storage there are two large sheds.
There's ample parking on the gravel drive to the front of the property, and a double garage that can be found to the rear. With light and power this has made an ideal gym for the very active owners.
Referring back to the location, the owners described this as secluded, quiet and safe, with good neighbours. Mascalls Court Barn is approximately 1 mile to the Paddock Wood mainline station and the local shops which also includes a Waitrose supermarket.
In summary this is a superb property that has many endearing and positive aspects. It is a home that provides ideal social spaces to entertain but also allows you to be quiet and reflective.
We would not hesitate to recommend an early viewing to avoid the disappointment of missing out.
