Part of a complex of 4 adjoining properties, this 18th century flint and stone barn conversion sits at the end of a long drive, unmade in places and surrounded by rolling countryside. The private entrance door opens into a welcoming hallway with space for boots and coats. Head along the hallway, passing the first of the two bathrooms on your left before coming to a fantastic open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This sociable room has been cleverly divided with the kitchen area to the left and space to dine in comfort just opposite. Next is the lounge space with comfortable furniture arranged around the striking fireplace with a wood burner and a Smart TV so you can enjoy your favourite shows. Heading upstairs, you'll find the four bedrooms, a super-king-size zip-and-link that can be made up as 3' twin beds if required, a double and 2 single bedrooms; completing this floor is the second bathroom.
French doors lead from beside the dining area to a private patio with furniture and a charcoal BBQ, ideal for al fresco meals. There is an open lawn, screened in part with hedging, which is the perfect place to sit back and relax whilst you listen to birdsong. A shared games room sits alongside the property, furnished with a 3 in one table (pool/table tennis and air hockey) plus a dart board.
