"A spectacular and unique conversion with stunning contemporary design in glorious surroundings"
The Property
Brookside Barn is an extraordinary and substantial modern conversion showcasing the highest standards of design, construction and attention to detail. Breathtaking open living space flows beneath a soaring vaulted ceiling. Exquisite décor and the thoughtful layout ensure a warm and homely atmosphere. Swathes of floor-to-ceiling glazing bathe the property in natural light and frame views across unspoiled countryside. The quality of fixtures, fittings and the finish throughout the whole property is truly remarkable. The use of modern techniques and technologies contributes to the excellent efficiency of Brookside Barn, with high performance glazing throughout and two air source heat pumps powering electric underfloor heating. Furthermore, heating, lighting and security systems are all integrated within a comprehensive smart home system which is remotely accessible and adjustable.
This incredible property sprang up as a complete new build of an original steel barn; the background of the project and the inspiring design ethos is most readily apparent in the spectacular open plan living space. This huge space is filled with character to create a light and airy volume, but also more intimate defined areas. A wood burning stove offers a cosy central focus between the kitchen and living areas, and there are wonderful nooks providing private seating or working areas. Endlessly inventive lighting is beautiful, eye-catching and practical all at once.
The kitchen is simply stunning, with a completely unique layout that includes an astounding walk-in pantry, bespoke units and the highest specification of appliances. Worksurfaces flow into a casual dining area that looks out onto the Italian-inspired courtyard. The kitchen is further served by a fabulous utility room with an adjoining boot room.
The living space offers the ultimate in relaxing luxury. Natural light spills across laid back comfortable seating space and there is more than enough room for a large dining table and chairs. Twin sets of French doors step out to the patio and gardens beyond. A part-timber clad feature wall adds yet another focal point and can also house a cinematic television in great style. For a quiet escape, the adjoining snug is a perfect spot to relax.
The four bedrooms are all served by boutique en-suite bathrooms or shower rooms; the principal bedroom has a fabulous dressing room with a separate bathroom and shower room on either side. The finish within each bedroom and bathroom is everything that could be expected and more; inviting rooms with charm and style oozing from every corner. A useful WC and cloakroom branch off the entrance hall to complete the accommodation.
Externally
Brookside Barn forms a horseshoe around a beautiful Italian-inspired courtyard, with the whole nestled within generous landscaped gardens of around 0.75 acres. The courtyard provides shelter for al fresco dining, with the ease of stepping out straight from the kitchen area.
A detached double garage with ample off-road parking brings practicality and convenience. Wide and well-maintained lawns wrap around a pretty seating area which is sheltered beneath a pergola, whilst a separate barbecue terrace offers perfect outdoor entertaining space. The terrace looks over two raised planting beds either side of a matching raised pond, with the view then stretching away over rolling fields to the horizon. There are even mature trees offering the option to laze away the days in a hammock!
