Description
The Old Grain Barn is a newly converted barn which dates from the 16th Century. The property has been converted to designs prepared by the award winning architectural practice of Ellis Miller and was nominated in the recent Grand Designs Home Awards in the conversion category.
The accommodation centres around a large reception space which is vaulted to full height with a feature fireplace to one end and lit by industrial style low energy flood lighting. There is a galleried sitting area to one end and an - industrial - metal bridge and staircase which leads from this room up into the master bedroom suite which has a fully glazed end wall with superb outlooks over the gardens and distant views of rolling countryside beyond.
The fully fitted kitchen is stylish with polished granite working surfaces and a range of integrated appliances including a range cooker and a brick open fireplace with a connection either for oil or LPG for a stove or Aga type cooker. The accommodation is unique and provides period interest and charm with cutting edge modern styling. On a practical level, all of the bedrooms have en suite bath or shower rooms and two have dressing rooms in addition.
From the exterior The Old Grain Barn is typical of a former barn converted to residential use but internally provides a modern twist with many features more typical of urban conversions. The combination of stylish interiors with a superb rural yet commutable location give the property a great deal of appeal.
SERVICES Mains water and electricity, oil fired central heating (under floor at ground floor level) and private drainage.
