Modern barn with open plan living in a secluded position.
The Barn is a contemporary haven in a quiet position at the edge of the popular village of Rotherwick.
Built by the current owners to a high specification throughout, with premium insulation plus a rebated featheredged larch exterior and clay tile roof reminiscent of traditional black timber-clad Hampshire barns. The accommodation is arranged with the ground floor as a generous open plan living space, dining area and kitchen. Floors of solid oak with a soft Danish white-oiled finish flow throughout. The white painted exposed beam ceiling adds character and lightness to this fresh modern space. With windows on all sides, including large tri-fold doors opening to a large south-facing deck, the space is naturally bright. The triple doors enable seamless indoor to outdoor living in the warmer months. There is also a feature, modern wood burner that warms the whole space. Additionally there is heating and air conditioning provided by the air source heat pump, plus a Lo-Carbon MVHR custom ducted ventilation system in all rooms. The sleek fitted kitchen has built-in Miele appliances including induction hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. The stylish ground floor bathroom is in honed Carrara marble with underfloor heating, and doubles as a laundry room with Miele appliances.
The wide bespoke staircase in structural steel with solid oak stairs leads to the first floor where there are two bedrooms. Both have thoughtfully designed custom joinery including inbuilt wardrobes and linen cupboard, Velux windows and double glazed French doors to Juliet balconies. One bedroom has an en suite shower room also in Carrara marble with underfloor heating.
The property is approached down a country lane, originally a bridleway leading around the village. The double five-bar gated driveway adorned with a beautiful willow tree, provides ample room for parking and potentially for a carport or garage (STPP). The decking area offers a perfect private spot for al fresco dining. To the rear there is a garden of level lawn. A new border of mixed hedging has been planted to define the boundary along with mature trees.

I love this smartly designed and presented home, a perfect low maintenance country pied-a-terre or a house to downsize to.
