HIGHLY DESIRABLE Single-Storey Barn Conversion (For Sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN) with fabulous gardens & stunning far-reaching countryside views.
The Old Barn was once home for many years to an acclaimed local painter & ceramicist, who established a workshop on the premises, leaving a distinctive creative legacy.
The property is rich in character: The heart of the home is a superb, vaulted kitchen, dining & day room, with exposed trusses. A separate lounge provides versatile living space, ideal as a comfortable sitting room or home-office space.
There is great potential for an extra bedroom or work space etc. The large 3.51m x 3.26m (11'6" x 10'8") utility with sink & WC - formerly an artist’s workshop - offers excellent practical space, or a potential double en suite bedroom 3.
There are currently 2 double bedrooms, the master featuring an original arrow-slit casement window, as does the spacious bath/shower room.
The setting is exceptional, situated within beautiful countryside characterised by gently rolling agricultural land & countryside.
