Ryehill Lodge Barn combines the charm and character of a barn conversion, with flexible modern living. An attractive and spacious four bedroom home offering versatile use and accommodation including potential annexe space, triple garage, gated driveway with ample parking, paddock, and a four box courtyard stable block, all set in around 4.5 acres to include front and rear gardens and grazing paddock.

The heart of the home is the impressive through kitchen and dining room, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The well equipped kitchen has space for a kitchen island and seating. The dining area retains a wealth of original features and provides a wonderful social space which flows seamlessly through to the sitting room and study. Leading from the kitchen is a spacious boot room and utility area, which provides storage and space for activities associated with an outdoor lifestyle. There is also a convenient WC, and door leading to the integral triple garage.
The welcoming sitting room is full of character, with attractive oak flooring, an impressive fireplace with dual-fuel burner creating a focal point of the room, and patio doors opening onto the rear garden. A separate study provides the perfect work-from-home space and benefits from patio doors leading directly onto the garden, allowing plenty of natural light and pleasant view of the garden whilst working.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom. Bedroom one is an exceptional principal suite featuring an en-suite shower room, built-in wardrobes, additional dressing area, and large window overlooking the paddock and countryside beyond. Bedroom two is a generous double bedroom with the advantage of built-in wardrobes. Bedroom three is another generous double bedroom, with a feature exposed brick wall and roof beam. Bedroom four is a further double bedroom with built in wardrobe, and offers exceptional flexibility from being part of the main house accommodation, or with the option to be utilised independently as part of an annexe.
The family bathroom offers a spa bath with shower over, wc and useful vanity unit for storage.
The versatile living space above the garage offers a shower room, kitchenette area and balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside, making it ideal for a range of uses including home office, home gym, guest suite, additional sitting room, hobby room, or self-contained annexe. This adaptable area enhances the property's versatility and offers scope to meet changing lifestyle needs.
Outside, the property is approached via a gravel driveway with double gates at both ends, providing an impressive arrival and offering off-road parking for numerous vehicles.
