"Mulberry Barn blends period charm with modern comfort on 3.5 acres, featuring a vaulted kitchen, elegant receptions, luxurious suites, flexible living spaces, and beautifully designed gardens and meadow."
The Property
An exceptional home where timeless character meets contemporary country living. Set within around 3.5 acres (STMS) of beautifully landscaped grounds, Mulberry Barn has been thoughtfully converted to create a warm and inviting retreat – perfect for both everyday life and entertaining in style.
At the heart of the home lies a stunning vaulted kitchen, hand-crafted by Bryan Turner Kitchens. Painted cabinetry, granite work surfaces, and a generous island create an elegant yet practical space, complemented by an electric Aga. Reclaimed French pamment flooring with underfloor heating adds rustic comfort underfoot. The adjoining dining room is full of charm, with exposed brick walls and ceiling timbers – a wonderful setting for relaxed family meals or dinner parties.
A utility room with full height windows enjoys beautiful visuals of the rear courtyard garden, while the main barn opens up to two beautifully proportioned reception rooms, linked by a central staircase leading to a galleried first-floor landing. The sitting room features open studwork and exposed timbers, offering a cosy, informal atmosphere. The drawing room, with its striking stone fireplace, provides a more formal space for entertaining.
A single-storey wing leads to a study with garden access and a delightful garden room overlooking the courtyard – perfect for morning coffee or quiet reading. Beyond is an impressive vaulted family room, offering flexibility for guests or leisure use, and with potential to create an annexe for further versatility.
Upstairs, the galleried landing with exposed beams leads to a luxurious principal suite, complete with a vaulted ceiling, dressing room, and a beautifully appointed Albion Bath Company en-suite. Three additional bedrooms and another elegant Albion Bath Company bathroom complete the first floor.
Externally
Outside, a gravel driveway provides ample parking and access to a double garage. The front garden features mature hedging, a tranquil pond, and sweeping lawn. To the rear, a detached two-bay cart lodge with storage above sits beside further parking. Beyond lies an ‘L’-shaped ryegrass meadow, ideal for equestrian use or simply enjoying open space.
The courtyard garden is an outdoor haven, thoughtfully designed with a raised entertaining deck, lawn and mature planting. There’s something quietly luxurious about watching the fresh limelight hydrangeas surrender to the season, as the light grows softer and pale petals take on hints of blush before slowly evolving into rich plum and dusky mauve.
Whether hosting friends on summer evenings or enjoying peaceful moments in nature, Mulberry Barn offers a rare blend of period beauty and modern comfort in a truly idyllic setting.
