The same timber boards continue into the living area at the far end, where a contemporary Stovax log burner creates a focal point. Here, windows of varying shapes and sizes add an architectural touch while inviting in abundant natural light.

The remainder of the ground floor is thoughtfully arranged. A boot room-separated from the corridor by a glass door-offers garden access, full-height cabinetry and storage. There is also a large utility room with space for white goods, a stylish WC, and a peaceful bedroom with a spacious en suite shower room.

The principal suite also begins on the ground floor. It comprises a dressing room lined with built-in wardrobes and a sublime en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding V&A bathtub. From the dressing room, a staircase rises to the sleeping area, a generous mezzanine beneath a gently sloping roof, with a balustrade overlooking the space below.

From the landing extends a private office and the remaining three bedrooms. One bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and its own bathroom; the other two have pristine en suite shower rooms. One benefits from access to a large loft, perfect for long-term storage. Elevated, these first floor rooms take in far-reaching views across the surrounding fields.


First Floor
Stairs ascend from the living room to the first floor. A striking 10 metre landing ends in a cosy window-seat nook - an ideal reading spot.


Outside
A newly constructed oak-clad carport, engineered with a sleek steel frame, echoes the character of the original barn while offering practical elegance. This multifunctional structure includes a secure shed, garden utility storage and a well-appointed workshop, all fitted with indoor/outdoor lighting and e-charging-ready power points for effortless modern living.

At the heart of the grounds lies a truly remarkable natural swimming pond—an exquisite centrepiece positioned on the south side of the garden. Designed to harmonise with the landscape, it marries the serene beauty of aquatic planting with the usability of a chemical-free swimming environment. Gently contoured banks frame the water with privacy and create a captivating natural vista.

The gardens have been landscaped to showcase standard, where every view delivers richness and depth. Mature trees, structured shrubs, a lush laurel boundary, perennial planting and raised cedar vegetable beds filled with organic soil combine to form an outdoor space that is both refined and deeply personal—considered with the same level of detail as the home’s interior.
