Description

2 Parkhill Barns is a stunning example of an attached converted barn, set amongst beautiful open countryside, in a small, exclusive courtyard development. This property is positioned at the end of a no through road creating a real sense of seclusion. The property has been meticulously converted to provide sizeable reception space, open plan living, an abundance of light, whilst retaining many lovely character features.

On the ground floor is an entrance hall with cloakroom, home office/bedroom 4, well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room, large dining room with exposed beams and bi-fold doors opening to the rear garden and a spectacular dual-aspect 19 ft sitting room with a feature fireplace with a wood burner, exposed beams and wonderful outlook over both enclosed gardens.

On the first floor is a large hallway providing a great sense of space and light, which provides access to three bedrooms: an impressive principal bedroom with vaulted ceilings and en suite bathroom, a large second bedroom with an en suite shower room with views on to open fields and a good sized third bedroom. A family bathroom completes the accommodation on the first floor.

There is substantial potential to extend the property subject to planning permissions (where necessary). Additionally the home office could be turned into a further bedroom or (with minor alterations) a self-contained living space and the stud wall between the kitchen and dining room could be removed to create an open plan kitchen/living space.

OUTSIDE
The property has a gravelled area to the side, providing parking for numerous vehicles. The gardens are a particular feature of this property, level and landscaped, and predominately laid to lawn, they are split into two enclosed, (east and south facing) areas either side of the house. The main garden has a patio area with bi-fold doors that open on to the adjacent second sitting/dining room for entertaining.
