Dating back to 1887, Manor Farm Barn was converted in 2015, and is approached along a sweeping driveway. Plenty of parking is available at Manor Farm Barn, with an attached double garage.
A Breathtaking Arrival
Stepping into the entrance hallway, underfloor heating warms the handsome Italian limestone tiles, running throughout the ground floor both indoors and out, for a seamless transition to the garden, blurring the boundaries between outdoors and in.

Pushing out towards the garden and countryside, the full height windows overlook the peaceful reflection pool outside. Doors open to either side of this room, out onto the terrace.
Wine and Dine
Opening up from the garden room is a spacious reception room currently serving as a formal dining room. With access out through French doors onto the Italian limestone terrace and rural vistas to both sides, this airy and light room is ideal for social gatherings; perfect as a second sitting room or cinema room. Follow the easy flow of this home through into the breakfast room, where incredible rustic beams extend overhead, and views extend over the golden gravel driveway to the rear.
Culinary Excellence
Feast your eyes on the kitchen, opening up from the breakfast room in contemporary fashion and brimming with storage, predominantly comprising of wide, easy open-close drawers. Appliances include a Samsung double oven, microwave and plate warmer, with Neff induction hob. Family and friends will gravitate towards the capacious central island, making this space the heart of the home. Offering a seamless transition from indoor feasting to al fresco dining, bifolding doors open to the rear terrace, where the limestone flooring extends.

Beyond, there is handy access to the spacious garage.
When Slumber Calls
Encased in glass, limestone tiled stairs lead from the kitchen up to the first-floor landing, also serving as a reading area, awash with light from the Velux windows above and overlooking the kitchen below. Step down into the first bedroom suite, passing through a walkthrough wardrobe with feature lighting, into the main bedroom. Large and light, an arched window frames rural views. Freshen up in the en-suite wet room shower which also doubles as a sauna. There is also a wash basin, heated towel radiator and lavatory.
Designed for Life
Returning to the garden room, explore the wing to the right of Manor Farm Barn. Firstly, discover the sitting room, where long planks of engineered oak flooring emphasise the length of the room, beneath exposed trusses above. Infusing warmth is a stunning central log burner, imported from France. Bifolding doors offer instant access to the broad patio. Beyond, discover a spacious double bedroom on the right, with French doors leading out to the garden and where mirrored doors conceal wardrobe storage and a hidden entrance to a luxuriously sized en suite.

Raise your eyes to the double height, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams soaring overhead. Original, decorative brickwork gives a further nod to the history within the walls. Consider the potential of this room – a large home office, a teenagers’ snug, or perhaps create a self contained living space for a dependent relative.
Moments of Calm
