Threshers Barn is a stunning barn conversion with character and far-reaching views
One of three unique properties crafted from a large barn, Threshers Barn is a light and airy Grade II listed barn, set back from a quiet country lane. Beautifully presented, it offers stylish accommodation arranged over two main floors, plus a charming mezzanine level.
The heart of the Barn is its vaulted living and dining area on the first floor. Here, high, honey-coloured oak beams create an incredible sense of space and character. Oak floors and delightful views to both the front and rear further enhance the appeal. A staircase leads to the mezzanine, currently a cosy reading area or snug.
The open-plan living area features a kitchen at one end, fitted with an extensive range of units and integral appliances. A door leads through to a handy utility room, WC, and a study, which could easily serve as a fourth bedroom if needed.
The entrance to the barn is via tall glazed doors at the front, opening into a light and welcoming
double-height entrance hall. The three double bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, each benefiting from a fitted double wardrobe. The principal bedroom boasts an en suite shower room, while the main bathroom, complete with both a bath and a separate shower, serves the two remaining bedrooms.
Outside, a pathway flanked by a south-facing lawn leads to the front door. Beyond lies a further expanse of lawn, bordered by hedging and featuring a number of ornamental trees.
To the rear, a small lawn complements an attractive communal orchard garden, shared and enjoyed by all residents.
Adjacent to the front garden is a substantial outbuilding, offering ample storage or potential as a games room or home office, subject to necessary permissions. Dedicated parking is provided in the communal parking area for two cars, with additional spaces for visitors.
