Low Gale Barn is a very attractive house with stone elevations beneath a slate roof. Although semi-detached with the original farmhouse, the outlook has been arranged away from it in a southerly direction and over the delightful grounds and woodland.

Approached through an enclosed stone bench porch, the property opens into an inviting reception hall that provides access to the main living spaces. The triple aspect sitting room is a standout feature, arranged over split levels and centred around a wood burning stove, creating an elegant yet comfortable space for everyday living.

The heart of the home is the superb open plan dining kitchen, snug and garden room. This expansive, flowing space is perfectly designed for both family life and entertaining. The dining area enjoys a bay window and direct access to the south east facing courtyard, while the split level snug offers a wood burning stove and steps up to a cosy reading nook with fitted bookshelves. The kitchen is equipped with painted cabinetry, granite worktops, an island and a cream Aga with electric module. Completing this space is the contemporary triple aspect garden room, which frames views across the gardens and tennis court.

Practicality is well catered for with a walk in cool store, utility/laundry room and a versatile anything room ideal as a gym, playroom or hobby space, with bi folding doors opening onto the rear terrace. From here, a door leads into the impressive leisure suite featuring a heated indoor swimming pool, changing facilities, WC and sauna, with further sliding/bi folding doors opening directly to the gardens.

Two staircases rise to the first floor. The principal bedroom is a generous triple aspect, split level suite with dressing area, fitted wardrobes and a four piece en suite. Two further double bedrooms each benefit from walk in wardrobes and en suite facilities. Bedrooms four and five feature mezzanine sleep platforms, built in storage and share a four piece house bathroom.

A separate staircase leads to a further study/bedroom with balcony access, also reachable via bedroom two or external stone steps an ideal retreat or independent bedroom suite.
The grounds are a major highlight. Landscaped gardens surround the house on three sides, creating a series of beautifully composed outdoor spaces. To the south east lies a private courtyard with rose garden, pond and flagged terrace. To the west, sweeping lawns lead to a ha ha, complemented by well stocked borders, multiple seating areas and a charming thatched breeze house beside the wildlife pond. Woodland to the south west, bordered by Leck Beck, is rich with bluebells in spring and includes fishing rights, offering a peaceful natural haven. To the north is a hard tennis court screened by beech hedge, with pavilion, greenhouses, raised vegetable beds and an outdoor entertaining area complete with fire pit, stone trough sink and built in BBQ.

A detached oak framed outbuilding (added in 2010) provides a single garage, double car port, studio, workshop, gardener’s WC and mower store. Extensive parking is available both beside the outbuilding and within the turning circle at the front of the property.
Beyond the formal gardens lie two paddocks to the south and south west, served by a timber stable block with two loose boxes.

In all, the property extends to approximately 10.5 acres (4.27 hectares).
