It is understood that The Barns date back approximately 100 years and was converted to a residential dwelling in 1986 by a well regarded local architect. The property is constructed of red brick and weather board elevations under a pantiled roof.
Accommodation
The property offers generous and flexible accommodation to suit different family circumstances. The open plan kitchen is a light and bright space having ample room for a breakfast table, with access from the back door to the utility room and double garage. The dining area is flooded with light from the large patio doors to the rear garden. Both the dining and sitting areas benefit from solid fuel burning fires and the open plan design creates a fluid and spacious area. From the large hallway there is access to all the bedrooms, and the study, which enjoys peaceful views of the garden. The master bedroom is dual aspect with extensive cupboards and an en-suite shower room. The three further bedrooms are down the corridor leading to the second sitting room which also has access to the front garden.
In brief the accommodation is as follows:
