DESCRIPTION

A prominent stone barn having been converted in 2018 and finished to an exceptional specification. This glorious residence is set within a private development and enjoys open-plan accommodation complemented by a multitude of interesting and original features throughout that have been carefully retained and restored from top to bottom.

The open-plan kitchen and dinning hall is a refined living space with underfloor heated stone flag flooring, bespoke handmade kitchen units with marbled granite work surfaces, central island with integrated dishwasher and a Belfast sink. The bespoke larder cupboards accommodate twin ovens and an integrated fridge freezer. The kitchen further benefits from LED plinth lights whilst the room as a whole has zone controlled ambient LED downlighters to its ceilings. A solid oak door leads to the utility with additional handmade units and granite work surfaces together with the downstairs WC next-door. Double oak doors lead through to the living room with a freestanding wood burning stove on a natural stone hearth, neutral carpets of notable quality and multiple TV points.

The impressive oak and glass staircase leads to the first-floor landing area where natural light is sourced from two conservation grade Velux roof windows. The hugely impressive master bedroom suite features a full length scenic window commanding stunning views over the surrounding countryside. The room has been carefully planned to allow bedroom furniture in multiple positions. A separate dressing area adjoins the en-suite shower room with a double walk in shower enclosed by thickened glass with a dual head rainwater shower.

The three guest bedrooms, one with a further en-suite shower room, are all doubles and of particular interest is the original truss beam which runs through the heart of the building creating a most charming feature with concealed LED strip lighting to complement. All of the bedrooms benefit from TV points and locally quarried limestone window sills. The lofty ceilings feature the original rafter beams and the barn s original vent slats have been preserved and glazed to provide further character and natural light. The family bathroom is equally opulent with Moduleo flooring and contemporary grey walling around a double ended panel bath with an independently controlled shower over.
