Description
Description
Manor Farm Barn is believed to date back to the 1800's and was thoughtfully converted in 2002. It is now a charming family home, boasting stunning countryside views and set within approximately 1.6 acres of established gardens and grounds.
Manor Farm Barn is built of red brick under a slate roof and offers well-proportioned, light-filled accommodation throughout. The property has great character including exposed timbers, brick inglenook fireplaces and exposed brick walls.
The front door opens into a spacious, double-aspect entrance hall, where double-height windows flood the space with natural light. A glazed studwork wall provides a stylish division, offering versatility for various living arrangements.
The accommodation on the ground floor consists of a triple aspect kitchen/ breakfast room that is the perfect space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has ample cabinetry with quartz work surfaces, a large island unit, butlers sink, Rangemaster cooker and integrated appliances. There are also glazed French doors seamlessly connecting the kitchen to the terrace and gardens. A delightful sitting/snug area completes the space, offering a cosy corner to relax and unwind.
A door from the kitchen leads through to a utility room, with matching kitchen units and a stable door leading out to the side garden.
Also on the ground floor is a delightful sitting room, centred around a striking brick inglenook fireplace and has views over the gardens. In addition there is a further reception room that offers flexible use as a playroom, home office, studio or guest bedroom.
An impressive open stairway leads to the first floor galleried landing where there are four double bedrooms all comprising wonderful views over the undulating countryside and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing and benefits from an en suite shower room.
Manor Farm Barn had approved planning permission (now lapsed) to add a large utility room to the side of the kitchen: Ref DC/18/0061/FUL. There is further potential for an additional bedroom on the first floor (subject to planning).
The gardens at Manor Farm Barn are delightful and comprise an enclosed kitchen garden, greenhouse, a natural wild area at the rear (previously used to keep chickens), and a designated play area complete with a wooden climbing frame. The gardens are further enhanced by a selection of mature trees, including walnut and silver birch.
Encircling the house is a more formal garden, featuring a terrace, which is perfect for alfresco dining. This space is bordered by an array of shrubs and hedges.
To the front of the property, a large shingle driveway offers ample parking for multiple vehicles and gives access to a double garage and an adjoining office/ studio or additional storage.
