Description
Cherry Tree Barn is an immaculately presented barn conversion set within a range of converted barns at Seven Spouts Farm. The barn itself is believed to date back to around 1830 and has been finished to a high specification throughout. The property offers generous and flexible living accommodation over three floors, and displays wonderful character with exposed brickwork and structural timbers throughout, whilst providing all the conveniences of modern living. The property is complimented by ample parking and double garaging to the front, and the most charming formal gardens set over multiple levels with a swimming pool to the rear. Adjoining the property is about 3.27 acres of paddock land, grounds extending to circa 3.58 acres in all.
Accommodation
A wooden front door opens into a vestibule, in turn stepping up to a welcoming reception hallway laid with oak flooring, and from which the principle reception rooms radiate. To the front of the property a spacious reception room with exposed brick and structural timber trusses is currently utilised as a cinema room, and has an adjoining study area with tall windows, and door into the garage. Also accessed from the reception hall is a useful utility room with space for freestanding appliances and a guest cloakroom off.
At the rear of the property is a fantastic glazed garden room with vaulted ceiling and views and access out to the gardens, proving an ideal space for entertaining. There is access to a laundry room, a wet room with steam shower to service the swimming pool, and a plant room with door to the garden.
In the heart of the house is a most impressive country style breakfast kitchen with shaker style floor and wall cabinetry fitted below granite worktops and with a vast, curved central island with additional storage and occasional seating in its centre. Integrated appliances include a double Neff electric oven with combination oven, De Dietrich induction hob, dishwasher, undercounter fridge and freezer, whilst an AGA provides additional cooking facilities. French doors provide access out to the terrace for al fresco dining, whilst two openings either side of the island provide a partially open plan layout and lead into a comfortable sitting room. The Sitting room is a real feature of this home, with exposed structural timbers, a brick fireplace with double sided mutli fuel stove and tall, dual aspect windows which flood the sitting room and galleried landing above with natural light. Connected to the sitting room is a formal dining room, both rooms benefit underfloor heating.
