House For Sale £900,000
Beautiful 18th century barn conversion in an idyllic hamlet setting surrounded by open fields.
Description
Enjoying a picturesque setting overlooking open fields, in a development of just three barns, Meadowsweet Barn dates back to the 18th century and was formerly part of an array of cattle sheds on Stockwell Lane Farm. The property offers fabulous accommodation of character and charm with features including an abundance of exposed timbers throughout, with vaulted ceilings and iron latch doors.
On the ground floor the reception hall leads to both the living and the majority of the bedroom accommodation. The kitchen/breakfast room, flowing through to the dining room, is an impressive space, perfect for both family life and entertaining friends. The kitchen itself is well equipped with a range of handmade units, complemented by granite and sold wood worktops. An island unit provides further work space and an integrated fridge/freezer. French doors from the dining room open on to the outside patio. Overlooking the garden, the characterful dual aspect sitting room features an inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove and French doors to the garden.
Accessed from the reception hall are three bedrooms, all with built-in cupboards, and a family bathroom. The vaulted principal bedroom benefits from a dual aspect and an en suite shower room. On the first floor is a useful versatile space, ideal as a study or a snug, and a further bedroom with a private cloakroom.
To the front is a shared gravelled driveway and a double garage with store room above, offering the potential for use as a home office. A timber gate and stone paved path leads to the front door. The front garden is laid to lawn and is well enclosed with hedging and mature trees. A gate to the side, leads to a covered walkway and though to the tranquil, rear garden with an area of lawn and well stocked beds and borders. A paved patio adjoins the barn to the rear, providing an ideal spot for outside dining and entertaining.
