Barleycorn House is a spacious four-bedroom detached family home set in about 1.8 acres, including an approximate 1.25-acre paddock that backs onto open countryside. The house offers generous reception space — large living room with open fireplace, snug with bay window, two further reception rooms plus a playroom/gym and a ground-floor office — making it well suited to family life, home working and hobbies.
The bespoke kitchen breakfast room with granite worktops and the separate utility/boot room provide practical, well-appointed ground-floor living. First-floor accommodation includes four bedrooms, an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a house bathroom; a large landing offers scope for a fifth bedroom or additional storage. The property benefits from double garage, attractive brick outbuildings, greenhouse, vegetable garden and a York stone sun terrace.
Outside is a major selling point: private mature gardens, a paddock with pond and specimen trees, and generous off-street parking from a tarmacadam drive. There is potential for a single building plot to the side of the house (subject to planning permission), which will interest buyers seeking development value. The home is offered chain free and has an EPC rating of C.
Important drawbacks and practical points: the paddock includes a public right of way over its rear right-hand corner which may be used occasionally by dog walkers. Any development potential is subject to planning consent and should not be assumed. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property dates from 1980 and, while well maintained, some buyers may wish to update certain fixtures or finishes to their own taste.
