Manor Barn is a wonderful family home. It is light and spacious and offers versatile living. The entrance hall, which has slate flooring, is very welcoming and inviting. The slate flooring runs through from the entrance hall and into the dining room, the sitting room and the family kitchen, creating that wonderful sense of flow. Oak doors and exposed light oak beams are in abundance and exposed brickwork, dotted here and there, adds to the property's character, warmth and charm. The kitchen / breakfast room has an array of pine units which are complemented by a double white butler sink and granite work surfacing. There is a double oven, a ceramic, halogen hob and an integral dishwasher and fridge. The kitchen also benefits from having a large island, ideal for food preparation, and there is ample space for a table and chairs. The separate utility / boot room adjacent has storage units and space to house an additional fridge freezer, a washing machine and tumble dryer. The study, dining room and living room all benefit from having oil-fired wood burning stoves set within brick fireplaces and are ideal for those cosy nights in by the fire. The dining room is beautifully light and bright, having floor to ceiling windows to both sides of the room. From here a door leads out to the gardens. Stairs lead up from the entrance hall to the landing where the original cruck beams can be seen. There are five bedrooms, three of which have en-suite facilities. The bedrooms all have high ceilings and the master bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe. The landing has a large mezzanine area which makes an ideal space in which to just relax and could make an ideal library area. The family bathroom completes the first floor.
Manor Barn benefits from having a large family garden. The lawned area is surrounded by gently curved flower beds which contain an abundance of flora to ensure bursts of colour all year round. The garden is well established and has pink geraniums, flat capped hydrangea, ceanothus, hostas and vibrant orange monbretia to name but a very few. It is a fantastic space in which to entertain friends and family, or indeed just to sit and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the setting. There is a pond, stocked with Koi carp, (which can be purchased under separate negotiation) ideal for those with an interest in aquatics and adjacent to the pond lies a seating area beneath the shade of a pergola covered in honeysuckle, clematis and climbing rose. Tucked away to a corner there is a fruit and vegetable garden containing an array of fruit and vegetables and wild strawberries. There is also a small greenhouse. An additional large patio area houses a large plunge pool (which may be available via separate negotiation). Manor Barn has extensive gravelled parking and also benefits from having a triple bay car port with a two storey storage room. This area could, if desired (and subject to the necessary permissions), be made into a separate office, artists studio, workshop or hobby room.
