Description


Kingway Barn is a magnificent conversion of a former barn which occupies a private setting, tucked away at the end of a long private driveway amidst beautifully landscaped gardens with a range of useful outbuildings and some 7 acres of paddocks which are ideal for the keen equestrian. Originally built in the 1850's by the Neeld Estate, the barn is constructed mainly of brick under a slate roof and was converted in the 1980's into a spacious family house, which takes full advantage of the views across its land to the countryside beyond. The beautifully appointed accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends in all to some 3,550 sq.ft and boasts a number of large and light rooms with plenty of low level windows taking full advantage of the views. 
 
The property is entered from the front into a large welcoming, high ceilinged, entrance hall with central staircase rising to the first floor and a drawing room beyond. To the side lies a large well-proportioned sitting room with vaulted ceiling, exposed purlins, a wood-burning stove and south-facing windows running the length of the room and a further window overlooking fields to the rear. The large kitchen family room is at the heart of the house with ample dining area and has been recently refitted with an excellent range of units around an island. Adjoining the kitchen there is the excellent addition of a newly constructed oak-framed snug with access to the walled garden and excellent views over the neighbouring countryside. Kingway Barn has a total of five double bedrooms, served by four bath/shower rooms. Two of the bedrooms, both en-suite, are on the ground floor making it ideal for a dependent relative or as guest suites. At first floor level is the principal bedroom suite comprising a light and airy bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a large bathroom. There are two further bedrooms on this floor and a family shower room. 
 
The property has a good number of outbuildings and useful storage which includes a stable yard, two oak framed open fronted garages, one with a workshop. An EV charging point has been installed. The gardens are a particular feature and have been cleverly compartmentalised into separate 'rooms'. Adjoining the south side of the house is a paved sun terrace with an overhanging pergola draped in climbing roses. Various water features can be found interspersed within the garden along with a number of specimen trees such as a Magnolia, Himalayan Birch, Red Oak and Acer. There is a well-stocked orchard with apples, plums, quince and cider apple trees. The property is ideal for the keen equestrian with three well fenced paddocks with a central copse and there is a further small paddock to the rear of the stable. The paddocks extend in all to around 5 acres.
