Driving through the wooden gates towards the timber built double garage you get a real sense of what is in store. Ahead the view just opens up, whilst on the left-hand side beside the curved wall of the barn, gives an inclination this is not just a typical barn conversion. Steps lead up to a large sun terrace which overlooks the formal gardens, paddock and view.

Built of cob, stone and render this stylish home sits under a natural slate and zinc roof so combines the feeling of the traditional barn with a contemporary twist.

Entering via the tri fold doors the story continues as they open into a large 34’ vaulted ceiling triple aspect room that is set up as distinct zones with the sitting room at one end, the kitchen at the other and dining into the middle taking full advantage of the light and views on offer. Against the curved wall of the barn and sitting upon a slate hearth is found a modern Morso curved design log burner which is a real statement piece. At the opposite end of the room the kitchen complete with bistro bar seating, offers a comprehensive range of soft close wall floor and drawer units with extensive slate work surfaces. Appliances include an AEG 5 ring induction hob, AEG double oven/grill, dishwasher and extractor hood with light. Leading off is a useful utility room with gazed door to the outside and plant room housing the workings from the air source heat pump and a pressurised hot water cylinder. Also found at this end is a cot room bedroom 4/office. Finishing off the ground floor accommodation is a large double bedroom and inner hall with storage and a contemporary shower room with large walk in shower with rain head and hand-held attachment, heated towel rail, close coupled rimless w.c., wash hand basin sat upon a slate shelf with vanity unit adjacent and open storage under.

Throughout downstairs is found slate flooring with underfloor heating.

The stairs are a work of art in themselves being oak with glass upstands and glass side at the lower part giving the feeling they are almost floating. At the head of the stairs the landing runs between the two double bedrooms found on this floor one having floor to ceiling wardrobe cupboards along one wall. Rounding off the accommodation is a contemporary bathroom with white suite, shower over bath, wash hand basin with vanity unit under, close couple w.c. tiled walls and a Velux window giving plenty of light.

The internal doors are oak with wrought iron style latches.

Outside
The concrete driveway provides for ample parking and houses a large detached ‘Shields’ timber garage on the western boundary with Anthracite metal up and over door, overhead storage and personal door to the garden. On the eastern side of the property and accessed via a granite shingle drive or from the field, is a timber agricultural building with steel corrugated roof that provides ample storage for tractor mowers and machinery. Both the garage and this building have power, light and external water supplies.

Gardens
Running across the front of the property as previously mentioned is a large terrace from which to soak up the views surrounding or to just sit and ponder. One can only imagine having al fresco meals out here during the day or of an evening as the sun goes down. The garden in front is almost a blank canvas as it is laid principally to a large swathe of lawn bordered by mature trees on one side. The paddock is accessed off the lane behind or from the drive and is currently allowed to grow wild with an informal agreement existing with a local farmer coming twice a year to cut it. Being in the region of 3.5 acres this would provide for use by two or three horses/ponies or for sheep to help graze it.

The overall setting cannot be overemphasised for such a stylish home and the lifestyle that could be enjoyed.
