Accommodation
GROUND FLOOR
Walking along the slate path, where picket fencing encloses the pretty front gardens, you are welcomed by the wide front door of Tredown Barton. This sits within the original, double height opening to the barn, now glazed within soft green wooden window frames, which allow plenty of light into the property and retain the original character.
• Hallway (5.2m x 3.9m)
The spacious entrance hallway with its natural slate flooring features an original exposed stone wall beside which sits the beautiful hand crafted oak staircase with a handy storage cupboard beneath. A second large storage cupboard, with oak doors is found beside the glazed wooden back door which opens directly onto the enclosed back garden. Care has been taken to keep the original features of the barn, like the window openings and stone walls. A tiny window, halfway up the stairs adds interest and character and like all others in the barn it has been built with a deep slate sill and an old oak lintel above. All the windows are painted in a soft green and any ironmongery to the windows and internal doors are hand forged pewter.
• Kitchen and dining area (5.1m x 4.4m)
To the left, an oak ledge and brace plank door opens into the kitchen and dining area, where a traditional shaker style kitchen, complete with a range cooker, integrated dishwasher and space for a large fridge, looks out to the front of the property. The dining space, being part of the kitchen, allows for social mealtimes with family or guests.
• Utility / laundry room (4.1m x 1.7m)
Just off the kitchen is a utility area with more kitchen cupboards, a sink and also a useful downstairs cloakroom (1.4sqm).
• Sitting room ( 5.2m x 4.0m)
On the other side of the hallway, the generous sitting room, with it’s natural oak flooring offers views over countryside to the rear and a welcoming cosy woodburner to warm those chilly evenings. Another large, full height window gives a view across the front garden and allows the light to flood in. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor which keeps wall space free of radiators. This helps to retain the beauty of the softly rendered internal walls, where all corners have been rounded off and painted a gentle off white tone.
FIRST FLOOR
At the top of the stairs where light floods in through a skylight above, a most charming space awaits you, which lends itself to a reading area or just somewhere to sit and unwind with a cup of coffee. This has the benefit of a large full width window, perfect for watching the summer swallows and behind you is a door to a really useful storage room with plenty of space for anything you choose Oak flooring has been fitted throughout the upstairs.
• Bedroom one (5.2m x 3.9m)
The first bedroom is large and has feature A-frames exposed in the vaulted ceiling above. Full use has been made of the large windows once again and an ensuite (3.2sqm), complete with a large shower enclosure makes this the perfect master bedroom. The shower is finished with a natural stone looking tile and the basin stand has been hand built in oak with a slate top on which the sink sits. The floor, although looking like natural slate, is actually a safer, non-slip ceramic. A heated towel rail and electric point for shavers have also been fitted to this lovely ensuite room.
• Bedroom two (4.5m x 2.5m)
With it’s gently sloping ceiling and little window to the rear gardens and paddocks, bedroom two is a tranquil space, again with its own ensuite shower room (2.5m X 1.8m). The ensuite has all the same styling and features of the master ensuite and is lit from a skylight in the ceiling.
• Bedroom three (4.2m x 2.5m)
Built in storage cupboard with hand made oak plank doors to match the internal doors of the barn. Bedroom 3 has an ensuite bathroom (4.7 sq m). The steel bath is fitted with an oak plank panel and has a shower screen and attachment above.
• Study nook (3.1sqm)
Outside
• Gardens
To the front of the property, two parking spaces sit beside the front gardens which are enclosed by picket fencing to keep small dogs or children safely contained. The rear garden, laid to lawn, with a patio area and outside tap has far reaching views across beautiful countryside and provides a blank canvas on which to plant and create your ideal garden space.
• Garage, workshops and parking
Aside from the two parking spaces at the front of the barn, there is also allocated parking for two larger vehicles situated out of the way, behind the garage barn. These would be perfect for a campervan or a boat, or just somewhere else for visitors to park. The garage will fit one car and from here a staircase takes you to the workshop space above which is insulated and plastered and also useful for storage. The garage barn has an area of hard-standing behind it where a lockable tap for each barn is fitted to allow you to wash your car with ease. There is also capacity for an electric car charger within the garage.
• Paddock
Tredown Barton comes with an additional half an acre of fenced and gated agricultural land, accessed via a track from the garages. This can be used for housing hens, growing vegetables, planting trees or simply encouraging wildlife from the area to make their way onto your patch. There are plenty of uses for this space to get you outside in all weathers and make the most of living in the country.
