Set down a private, gated lane, this handcrafted five-bedroom stone barn conversion delivers almost 3,900 sq ft of flexible family living across an impressive two-storey layout. The home centres on a dramatic galleried reception hall with exposed beams and a double-sided multi-fuel burner, flowing to a cosy lounge, snug and a dedicated office with direct outdoor access. Large windows and roof lights fill principal rooms with natural light while the principal suite includes a dressing area and stylish en suite.
The bespoke shaker kitchen, complete with dark blue AGA, large island and walk-in larder, sits at the heart of the house and opens easily to the utility/boot room for practical day-to-day use after countryside walks. Outside, roughly 4.5 acres of gardens and paddocks provide extensive private grounds, south-westerly views towards Ashurst Beacon and a substantial stone-built garage/workshop with ample parking behind electric gates.
This property offers considerable lifestyle appeal for families seeking space, privacy and countryside views within easy reach of local schools and commuter links. Note the practical factors: main heating runs from an oil boiler with underfloor heating, broadband speeds are very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The home is freehold and set in a widely sized plot, which will suit buyers wanting land and scope for outdoor projects.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, craftsmanship and setting. The position on a private lane and the substantial outbuildings add strong long-term potential, but buyers should factor in higher running costs (oil heating and council tax) and limited broadband when considering modern working-from-home needs.
