The sale of The Old Hay Barn presents a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a desirable semi-rural barn conversion set in 0.76 acres surrounded by agricultural land.
Dating back to 1750, The Old Hay Barn was sympathetically repurposed in 2016 and is truly an exceptional property. The remodelling sustains and conserves the looks of a traditional farmstead whilst retaining the landscape character and local distinctiveness. The property now seamlessly combines character features and traditional materials with a contemporary touch, with attention lavished on every detail, offering a versatile layout well-suited to modern family living and entertaining.
The accommodation enjoys excellent natural light throughout due to a variety of large external and internal windows, vaulted ceilings and mezzanine floor. The décor is subtle and luxurious, featuring a variety of carefully selected high quality materials including oak and and original York Stone flooring, exposed stone walls, oak beams and bespoke cabinetry. Underfloor heating warms the downstairs space and there is oil fired central heating throughout.
The covered entrance porch leads through to the main hall with oak flooring and cottage doors opening off to the kitchen/dining area. The kitchen has been exquisitely crafted by Tom Howley finished with Kashmir cream granite worktops arranged around a central butcher's block. Kitchen appliances include Neff double ovens and induction hob and seamlessly integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The dining area leads off the kitchen, with bespoke fitted seating and French doors with access to the gardens and fields beyond.
The magnificent triple aspect living room lies to the left of the hallway and provides a relaxing and rustic setting. A brick hearth fireplace, log burner, exposed timber beams and a bespoke window seat, create a calm and pleasant ambience with scenic views. There is an additional reception room currently used as a lounge. This room is charming, spacious and light due to the large picture windows, vaulted ceiling and exposed brick wall, this room is very versatile and could be used as a formal dining room. Completing the downstairs accommodation is the good sized home office, WC and fully fitted utility room with space for a washing machine and dryer with side porch entrance.
A turning staircase leads up to the galleried landing and gives access to three en suite bedrooms, a fourth bedroom and enjoys superb views over the surrounding rural landscape. The indulgent principal bedroom benefits from fitted under eaves storage, a fitted dressing area and an ensuite bathroom. The other three bedrooms are beautifully finished with vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams combined with light colours and muted tones make the upstairs bedrooms a delightful and calming living space.
The outbuilding extending to over 600 sq Sq Ft offering 3 car garaging, storage and an idyllic sunroom with bi-folding doors onto the patio and gardens and kitchen garden area. This offers tremendous potential to create superb ancillary accommodation (subject to the necessary consents). There is plenty of parking space for many vehicles not only on the cobbled drive, but also through a gated driveway and flagged yard leading to the garage.
