Description

Sitting in a peaceful and prestigious village setting, The Long Barn is an outstanding example of modern country living. Dating back to the 19th century the barn was constructed from locally quarried limestone with a blue slate roof. This substantial barn conversion has been tastefully renovated to an exacting standard, blending characterful original features with high-quality contemporary finishes.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, extended by the current owners and fitted by Grove House Interiors. This light-filled space is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with bespoke cabinetry, premium appliances and elegant finishes. The ground floor accommodation benefits from underfloor heating throughout.

Accommodation extends to six bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with en suite bathroom and dressing area, with a further two bathrooms serving the remainder of the bedrooms. The layout is both spacious and flexible, providing multiple reception rooms, including a formal sitting room with a stone fireplace, wood burning stove and exposed beams.

The property is approached via electric gates, leading to a generous lawned front garden and driveway. To the rear is a private, westerly-facing garden, ideal for enjoying the afternoon sun. A detached garage adjoins a stylish garden room, offering excellent potential as a home office, gym, or additional entertaining space.
