House For Sale £775,000
Elm Barns is an exclusive collection of 4 individually designed, barn style homes located in Newton Harcourt. Crafted and finished to an extremely high standard, design and detail are at the forefront of this development, which have led to the creation of 4 truely unique dwellings.
Situated at the end of the development, plot 2 forms the L shape of the courtyard and features a 1 storey to 1.5 storey design. It is an extremely desirable plot that offers an array of the largest bedrooms and a generous south facing rear garden. The property offers 1950 sq.ft of living space and employs a simple palette of materials including oak and concrete, whilst the cleverly positioned glazing makes the surrounding views and bathes the property in natural light throughout the day.
Plot 2 is entered via a contemporary pivot door that leads to a stunning, dual aspect hallway with a floor-to-ceiling glazed window to the rear and a floating oak staircase. There are fitted cupboards that house the boiler/heating controls and a ground floor WC off. Polished concrete with underfloor heating flows throughout the ground floor, as does the bespoke oak joinery, adding a sense of continuity and flow.
The ground floor accommodation includes a large open plan living, dining, kitchen area that is cleverly separated by a tunnel through Ortal fireplace, and the room also features large sliding windows that lead from the sitting area and dining area onto the rear garden. The kitchen area is fitted with Roundhouse cabinetry and finished with sleek quartz work surfaces. A central island with an integrated Bora induction hob and seating area creates a casual dining area, and a range of Miele appliances and Quooker instant hot water tap compliment the cooking space.
The master bedroom is situated on the ground floor and is a generously proportioned room with large sliding doors that frame the views and give direct access onto the rear garden. The room is completed by the addition of a spacious en suite bathroom that includes a separate shower and freestanding bath. The accommodation is completed by a first floor utility/laundry room.
Arguably the most impressive feature is the hallway and landing where the natural light and views are amplified by the double-height picture windows to the front and rear. A study has been carefully positioned within the first floor to provide a superb workspace that enjoys views over the courtyard and open countryside beyond. There are two further double bedrooms positioned either side of the property. Bedroom two has an adjoining dressing room and ensuite shower room, whilst bedroom three enjoys a spacious ensuite bathroom.
