The Threshing Barn is an impressive four-bedroom, two-reception roomed barn conversion combining characterful period features with generous, versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family life. Thoughtfully maintained and updated by the current owners, the property offers beautifully presented interiors with exposed beams and stonework, vaulted ceilings and extensive natural light.
The welcoming kitchen forms the heart of the home and features premium integrated appliances (Fisher Paykel + Bertazzoni), a central breakfast island and ample room for a dining table and chairs. From here, the accommodation flows into an exceptional open-plan sitting room arranged as three distinct yet connected areas. Its striking central section has floor-to-ceiling glazing, French doors, a vaulted ceiling, oak flooring and an elegant timber staircase rising to the first floor. Two comfortable reception areas sit to either side, one adjoining the kitchen and the other opening directly onto the rear garden.
The ground floor also includes a gym/annex bedroom with shower facilities, a cloakroom and a utility room. This part of the house offers excellent flexibility and could be arranged as guest accommodation or a self-contained annex.
Upstairs are four individually designed bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with a vaulted ceiling and a timber partition concealing a stylish bathroom with twin basins, complemented by a separate en-suite shower room and WC. Three further bedrooms are served by an attractive family bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath.
Outside
The property is approached through electric gates, with private parking to the front. To the rear is an enclosed south-to-west-facing garden designed to provide several distinct areas for relaxation and entertaining.
A paved terrace offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining, while a separate decked seating area occupies the upper part of the garden. The central lawn is framed by mature planted borders, and a useful garden shed provides additional storage.
