The areas are divided by a feature log burner creating a central focal point from all angles of the living areas.

The Heart of the Home

The recently renovated kitchen oozes a contemporary vision and blends beautifully with the vaulted ceiling and exposed beams of the original barn.

The quartz worktops of the central island reflect the light from the abundance of floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass patio doors making the area sparkle and shine. There are plenty of eye and base level cupboards and drawers concealing a selection of integrated appliances. These include a modern American fridge freezer set within useful larder cupboards, a large Belling range gas cooker with six rings and a large wok ring with extractor fan above, and an integrated Caple microwave.

Bedroom four also features a beautiful, vaulted ceiling with a large window allowing the room to be filled with natural light. This room benefits from a recently refurbished ensuite shower room comprising of a low flush WC, a vanity unit with wash basin and a single tap, and a large double shower with both a waterfall and separate handheld shower attachment.

The Annex

The self-contained annex was created from an old stable block and retains many of the features making a truly unique space. Situated to the rear of the main property it nestles in a private corner of the garden.
