Studio Property for Sale in NP25

comprises a pair of stunning listed barns in rural idyll and newly converted to an exceptional standard.  The property is situated at the end of a long private drive in the heart of glorious countryside with only the old Farmhouse nearby.  The barns are close but detached, they are linked by a TV monitor and intercom system, and each has considerable character featuring exposed stone and mellow brickwork as well as exposed timbers.  The larger barn with spacious beamed partly open plan reception areas and four large bedrooms is perfect for both family and entertaining.  The second smaller 2 bedroom barn/annexe is ideal for a second family, granny or holiday lets.  In the main house any intending purchaser will be impressed by the imaginative use of space and light.  The versatile accommodation includes a vast open plan reception area, partly open to the roof with galleried landing over, which can be for living and dining.  There is a snug/sitting room, study and family playroom and fully fitted stylish kitchen.  All of the fittings are of excellent quality in both main house and annexe, with much use being made of solid oak flooring, marble tiling to the walls and floors of kitchen and all bathrooms as well as the family room and solid oak lintels throughout.  All bedrooms are fully carpeted.  The main barn has the benefit of underfloor heating on the ground floor and both barn and annexe have radiators in all other rooms. 





This is the site of an ancient settlement.  There is a Motte and the remains of a wooden castle probably dating back some 1500 years!  It is believed that the two barns now converted stand on the site of the old bailey.  Therefore these buildings and the nearby farmhouse which dates back to the reign of Charles l, are Listed grade ll.





The property also benefits from a large area of hardstanding, an ideal base for stabling and includes an attractive old paddock, in all some 5 acres of pasture with exceptional views.
