House For Sale £1,750,000
Originally built in the 1950's, The Fisher Barn underwent extensive refurbishment in 2011, which included a double extension and annexe. It is situated in a tranquil rural setting with views over neighbouring farmland. The generous accommodation is extremely adaptable with a spacious dual-aspect sitting room of over 21 ft in length and large south and west facing kitchen/family/dining room providing an ideal focal point for everyday family living. This has a well-appointed Sylvarna kitchen with bleached oak worksurfaces, range style cooker with induction hob and contrasting island unit with polished stone worksurface. A long run of sliding doors open directly onto the terrace making this an ideal area for summer entertaining. A second reception room provides a more informal area which could be suitable for use as a playroom, whilst the study and additional home office provide a useful space for those wishing to work from home.
An integral double garage has been converted into a spacious gym/studio with partially glazed door onto the garden, but could be easily converted back to garaging if required.
On the first floor the generous bedroom accommodation includes both principal and guest suites. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive with vaulted ceiling, walk-in wardrobe, well-appointed bathroom and Juliette balcony making the most of the lovely views over the garden. The guest suite is situated on the opposite landing and has its own shower room whilst the family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms.
A completely self-contained annexe includes a vaulted sitting room, kitchenette, bedroom and shower room en-suite. This has its own doors onto the garden and provides an ideal area for dependent relatives or teenagers. The annexe could also be used to generate a home and income opportunity, providing holiday accommodation to summer visitors or those attending the various events at Goodwood.
Outside
The driveway to a neighbouring property and a public footpath run along the northern boundary. The Fisher Barn has a vehicular right of way along this driveway to reach to secondary gated access to the property on its northwest corner. The well-established gardens are a particular attraction. Double doors from the sitting room open south onto a sheltered area of walled garden with brick set sitting area and well-stocked borders supporting a variety of shrubs, ornamental climbers and roses. Alongside, double doors from the family room open onto a further gravelled and brick set sitting area. To the west bi-folding doors open from the kitchen/dining/family room onto a broad paved terrace with exterior lighting which runs the length of the western flank of the house and looks out over the gardens. These are laid principally to lawn with borders and shrubberies stocked with a mixture of evergreen shrubs, traditional perennials, ground cover plants and spring bulbs designed to provide colour and interest all year round. A focal point has been created by a rose covered pergola which draws the eye along a walkway to a raised display area with four box edge planters. An ornamental pond has stone pathways and has been stocked with a variety aquatic and water margin plants. A secondary vehicle access onto the adjacent lane lies nearby. A very useful stable style building provides generous storage and workshop space with power and covered hard standing.
