House For Sale £2,000,000
A stunning home for the future, this barn has been creatively and thoughtfully designed to embrace the eco culture and ensure that the carbon foot print is minimised, without compromising on comfort. This Eco friendly house has low thermal loss values, solar panels, triple glazing and both the barn and gardens are south facing.
The barn was converted in 2021 with 8 years buildzone warranty remaining from an open sided agricultural barn and some of the features are designed to acknowledge this, the steel girders are evident in the open plan living space but have been insulated and painted, reminding the owner of the heritage but not impacting on the design. There is a fresh air (MVHR) system as the barn is hermetically sealed, perfect for those with allergies, but allowing floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors to reflect the stunning countryside on the doorstep.
The approach to the barn is through an electric gate, along a long gravelled drive where a triple garage stands to one side and there is ample parking and turning space for plenty of cars.
The wide porch provides keyless entry into the hallway with storage to one side, the open plan barn opens up before your eyes with so many details to absorb, the engineered oak flooring with under floor heating throughout, the beautiful bespoke lighting, the island unit with its Neolith stone top, which enables anything hot to put on it with no damage.
The German Haecker kitchen is beautifully fitted with plenty of Silestone work surfaces on which to work, two dishwashers, in built storage, a beer fridge and a wine fridge and a large Neff full sized fridge. The appliances are a cooks dream with two Neff Slide and Glide ovens, a Neff steamer oven and Neff microwave. The BORA hob has a central downdraft extraction, whilst the island has plenty of space to sit around and enjoy a glass of wine whilst the meal is being prepared and large floor to ceiling windows afford stunning views across the open fields.
There is plenty of room for a dining table and a clutch of sofas around a cinema style screen which rises from the cabinetry, complete with sound bar. A useful pantry lies off the kitchen and there are plenty of storage cupboards throughout the property. The dual aspect snug is a cosy space with a light and airy feel, there is a useful home office and a utility/boot room with access to the side of the barn.
Automatic corridor lights light the way towards the bedrooms, perfect for during the night and all the bedrooms are spacious with walk in wardrobes and en-suite shower rooms. The shower rooms are finished in seamless Microcement, and the walk in showers have rainfall heads and hand held showers. The Master bedroom is spacious with a statement head board in the centre of the room, a large walk in wardrobe and a fabulous bathroom with a standalone bath and a double shower.
The Annexe
The annexe can either be incorporated as part of the main barn or can become a separate entity either with the potential for income or for a relative. The owners have been achieving a rental of £650 per month for a Monday to Friday let.
The kitchen-dining-sitting room has an entrance to the side, floor to ceiling windows on two sides and an island unit which doubles as a table. The kitchen is a German Haeker kitchen with Silestone worktops and built in appliances which include a Neff dishwasher, Blaupunkt Fridge/freezer, oven and microwave.
Outside the annexe has its own entrance and parking place.
Gardens and Land
Outside the sliding doors of the main open plan area is a large south facing patio bordered with raised flower beds which takes in the very best views over the undulating 4 acre field, where currently there is a removable shepherds hut, for separate negotiation.
Around the property you will find wild flowers, cleverly designed Cotswold stone wall which incorporates planters with climbing flowering plants to welcome you as you enter the driveway. 4 patio areas incorporating East, South and West Elevations, ensuring there is always somewhere to sit in the sun or shade.
Alongside the field lays a woodland abundant with bluebells bordered by oak trees and a small stream which feeds a natural lake, where bird boxes, owl boxes, feeders and log stacks for the bugs has been introduced to create its own small ecosystem.
