Further Details

Formerly belonging to Carr House Farm, The Old Barn is a handsome conversion of traditional farm buildings, constructed of brick with a pantile roof. The property is packed with both original and built-in character. There are fireplaces, vaulted ceilings with exposed trusses and beams, oak-framed windows with heavy oak lintels, deep sills with window seats, ledge and brace internal doors - all alongside some column radiators, stained glass and mellow wooden floors. Large windows and recessed downlights illuminate this light and bright family house.

The open plan kitchen/dining/family room is double aspect and, in part, rises up into the roof space with high Velux windows. It includes a handmade farmhouse-style kitchen with a Rangemaster within a brick hearth, an island unit and a combination of black granite and timber work surfaces; alongside is a utility/laundry room and downstairs WC. There are two large reception rooms: the 23 ft drawing room has a wood-burning stove housed within a feature brick fireplace; and the sitting room has wall-to-wall glazing with barn-style arched windows and doors opening onto the lovely courtyard garden.

A long first floor landing with walk-in linen cupboard gives access to four double bedrooms, all of which enjoy magnificent views across the garden, land and countryside beyond. The large principal bedroom suite is triple aspect with a shower room. There is a further bedroom suite with shower room on the southern end of the landing, and the two remaining double bedrooms are served by a house bathroom with a shower attachment over the bath.

Outside

The long drive extends some half a mile, flanked by open countryside and farmland. From the wrought iron electric gates set within a high brick wall, the pea-gravel drive pulls in front of the double garage with EV charger, providing a large turning and parking area. It then continues to The Old Milking Parlour, a neighbouring property to which it is attached, discreetly located behind The Old Barn.

Immediately in front of the house is a sunny garden comprising two lawns flanking a central pathway as well as an attractive, courtyard garden sheltered by a mixed hedge. The whole is enclosed by railings lined with herbaceous borders planted with shrubs and ornamental trees. A paved pathway wraps around the property with access to the kitchen/dining/family room.

There are two fields. The upper field wraps around two sides of the house and has been planted with a variety of young trees, including a copse of silver birch. A seating area on the western corner is enclosed by an arc of laurel hedging and enjoys a wonderful outlook. The extensive lower field lies beyond a loose boundary of hedging and raised beds. It extends eastwards, enclosed by post and rail fencing with a ditch on the far eastern boundary. Close to the garage is a pretty summer house and integral garaging for garden machinery. There is a large, paved patio area, facing south and ideal for sitting out.
