Beautiful award winning barn conversion.

Recently awarded a commendation for excellence by the Nottingham Building Preservation Trust this wonderfully converted barn has been meticulously constructed to bring together modern building techniques whilst maintaining the beautiful character of the 200 year old structure. Achieving an energy rating of B this highly efficient property is testament to the developer and architect who worked to achieve the award.

Much of the original character of the period building has either been retained or reinstated with each room offering it's own unique character and features, many rooms having exposed internal timbers and brickwork with vaulted ceilings and a range of attractive floor coverings. This has been combined with the benefits of modern construction providing an efficient home with underfloor heating throughout powered by air source heat pump with pressurised hot water system and having aluminium double glazed windows and LED lighting. In turn the property is neutrally decorated throughout which enhances the natural features within the property and creates a blank canvas for any prospective purchasers.

In addition the property occupies a fantastic plot, generous by modern standards, lying in the region of 0.43 of an acre with the approach mimicking a farmyard style courtyard development which is shared with only two other bespoke dwellings. The property has electric gated access leading onto it's own substantial driveway and a generous level of garaging. The gardens run to three sides with a more low maintenance landscaped garden at the front providing an attractive courtyard area enclosed by brick walls and encompassing a fantastic brick outbuilding which would be an excellent office, home gym or cinema room. The rear garden offers an excellent degree of privacy and benefits from a south westerly aspect, looking out across adjacent paddocks creating a rural feel.

A large terrace links back into the living area of what is a particularly impressive part of the home being a superb open plan living/dining kitchen of excellent proportions, affording a stunning full height ceiling with exposed king post and truss and unique lighting created from cartwheels providing a centre piece beneath which is a beautifully appointed kitchen, finished in heritage style colours with quartz preparation surfaces and complementing central island unit with high quality appliances including Miele and Fisher & Paykel. This room, in turn offers a dual aspect, flooding this room with light with the original threshing barn openings and aluminium sliders at the rear onto the garden. The main sitting room is an attractive space, again with a dual aspect, feature exposed internal brick work and solid fuel stove. Two further well proportioned rooms to the ground floor provide additional double bedrooms serviced by a stunning bath/wet room allowing this property to be utilised as a single storey home if required. This area would however also make an excellent annexe suite either for those with dependent relatives or teenagers. In addition, to the ground floor is a utility room, again with Miele appliances, a useful plant room and an excellent ground floor storage room. To the first floor are two further stunning double bedrooms, both with ensuite, the master of which provides an excellent range of bespoke furniture with a "secret" door leading through into a concealed ensuite shower room, again beautifully appointed with high quality fixtures and fittings. The second bedroom again benefits from it's own ensuite shower room as well as a wonderful aspect to the rear.

As well as the internal accommodation the property is bolstered by it's stunning location and plot and the only way to truly appreciate the location of this wonderful home is by internal inspection.

Kneeton - The village of Kneeton can be traced in history back to 1086 where it was recorded in the Domesday Book as "Chenuiton" and at the time of recording the village consisted of 5 tenant farmers, 3 freed men and one priest. Women and children were not recorded and it is estimated that the village consisted 8 or 9 households totaling 30 to 40 people. The village has has little growth in the last 900 years, with the last census recording a population of less than 100, with new houses in Kneeton being very rare and less than 10 being added in the 20th and 21st centuries.
