Description

Burlingham Barn is a most impressive converted barn situated in a pleasant position overlooking countryside and reached at the end of a lengthy driveway.

With accommodation spanning over 3200 square feet, the barn offers flexible and highly individual accommodation. Being sold with the advantage of no onward chain, this is a must see property for families and couples alike.

Of particular note there is the option to purchase further land by separate negotiation of over 6 acres (STMS).

Designed and converted by the current owner, the barn has an upside down living arrangement. A layout seldom seem but cleverly utilised to take advantage of the far reaching views over countryside. The ground floor, entered by a grand entrance hall, features all of the bedrooms to this level. With four bedrooms including three with en suite facilities and the fourth being served via a family bathroom, there is ample room for a large family. A useful study makes for a ideal working from home room or should it be desired, would make for a fifth bedroom. A practical utility room completes the ground floor.

The most impressive first floor provides a wonderful sense of space, style and light, accentuated by the vaulted ceiling. This area, split between a kitchen/dining area and a more formal sitting room is a space which is sure to impress buyers looking for a modern, yet characterful living arrangement.

Outside
The property is approached via a lengthy driveway through cast iron gates. The attractive gardens have been beautifully landscaped and feature a mixture of mature shrubs, trees and topiary within manicured lawns. A patio terrace makes for excellent outdoor entertaining. Parking is provided both on the ample gravel drive as well as a four bay cart lodge which also benefits from useful storage above. The property sits within grounds of about 1.5 acres.

Should a buyer require additional land there is an option via separate negotiation to purchase a paddock of about 6 acres which can be found to the West of the driveway and would allow for possible equestrian use.
