A beautifully presented barn conversion situated within beautiful gardens and grounds extending to about 1.37 acres.
Sandford Barn is an exceptionally well-presented barn conversion, developed in circa 2005 by Messrs, Harvey Homes Limited and designed by the highly regarded local architect, Brian Lloyd. The property exudes character, featuring oak flooring, distinctive fireplaces, exposed timbers, and brickwork. Offering flexible living accommodation across two floors, Sandford Barn is an outstanding family home, complemented by a triple garage with a versatile room above and a paddock extending to about one acre.
The front door opens into an entrance hall, which leads into the inviting open-plan kitchen and family room which is the heart of the home. The kitchen boasts tiled flooring and is fully fitted with a range of cupboards and units, an American-style fridge/freezer, a range cooker, a butler’s sink, and a central island with a breakfast bar. This area flows seamlessly into the family space, which features oak flooring, a wood-burner effect gas fire, and four sets of double doors opening onto both the front terrace and rear garden. A utility room, added in 2023, is situated off the kitchen and benefits from its own external access.
From the entrance hall, a spiral staircase leads to the impressive first floor sitting room which is a great space for entertaining and enjoys far reaching views across open countryside.
The ground floor features two bedrooms, one of which includes fitted wardrobes, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. A second spiral staircase provides access to an additional double bedroom, complete with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.
The principal bedroom suite is located on the first floor and offers a generously proportioned space, incorporating a dedicated dressing area with fitted wardrobes and a spacious en suite bathroom.
Gardens, grounds & outbuildings
Sandford Barn is accessed via double electric gates that open onto a private sweeping driveway and a spacious gravelled parking area with room for several cars. There is also a secondary entrance to the property from a private lane on the south side.
The triple garage features three bays with electric doors. Above the garage is a versatile space currently used as a contemporary home office, complete with a shower room, this area could be utilised as a fifth bedroom or independent living accommodation.
The south-facing gardens at the front of the house are predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a stunning terrace that wraps around the entire property. At the rear, a private garden is enclosed by a charming stone wall and adorned with herbaceous borders. A terrace here provides an ideal space for alfresco dining and entertaining. Additionally, there is a large garden store room and a separate garden shed for extra storage.
Adjacent to the house, the paddock extends to approximately one acre, offering a perfect area for keeping a pony or sheep, or simply a spacious place for children to play.
