The Barn House is a unique detached house with a central ‘rotunda’ providing a spectacular, curved reception hall. It is a perfect entrance for entertaining, with space for a mini grand piano, a wide staircase leads up to a galleried landing and further into the hall there is even room for a sitting area. The drawing room benefits from features such as beamed ceiling, mullion windows and views of the garden, there is a Bath stone fireplace with a freestanding wood burning stove. In the centre of both, the drawing room and kitchen is an impressive dining room again with a wonderful curve providing a bay of glass windows looking out to the lawn. Next is the open plan kitchen and dining area. A bespoke hand painted kitchen has been designed around a large central island. Granite worksurface, a breakfast bar, integral appliances, plus a dresser providing further storage add to the style of this wonderful room. A central two oven Aga provides a focal point and windows and a glazed door give a view and direct access out to the immaculate garden. The Barn House offers a second reception room and fifth bedroom on the ground floor, or for those who require a self-contained annexe the spacious sitting room is a lovely room with exposed stone walls, a-frame vaulted ceiling and doors out to the garden. Adjacent is a double bedroom with matching features and behind a panelled wall hides a smart kitchen and luxury shower room. Under floor heating keeps it toasty. Also on the ground floor is a home office as well as a second entrance hall perfect for muddy boots and shopping with a wall of cabinetry providing plenty of storage and adjacent a well fitted utility and laundry room plus a walk-in pantry. A cloak room and coats cupboard complete the picture.
The four well-proportioned bedrooms lead off the spacious galleried landing. The principal suite is stately. It benefits from the bay window to the rear providing wonderful views across the striped lawn to the hills beyond. There is a sitting area in front of the window seats plus a bathroom with a free-standing bath and a separate shower and a dressing room. There are a further two bedrooms benefitting from this wonderful countryside views and both with private bathrooms. The fourth bedroom on the first floor is to the front with the curve of the wall mirroring the reception hall.
Outside
The Barn House is approached via a private gated drive bordered by mature trees leading to a large gravel area to the front of the house. A detached stone double garage includes a first floor which could be refurbished into a home office or games room. The spacious frontage is a splendid entrance fronting the handsome façade. To the side a practical courtyard has a covered access from the garage, an outbuilding providing plenty of storage and a potting shed with a path leading around to the rear. The gardens to the rear are of particular note. A wide terrace runs the length of the house with access from the kitchen, dining room and sitting room, so plenty of space for dining and relaxing. Two large level lawns are perfectly manicured with a central border adding colour and scent. In the middle of the garden, a few steps at the side lead to a gravel garden, an additional seating area offers an alternative view of the garden towards the handsome architecture of the house. At the far end, a stone terrace is a lovely spot to lie back and take in the adjacent countryside and rolling hills. A wide path curves around the garden back to the house and is bordered by mature shrubs and trees.
