Property Description
Set within a secluded gated community of sympathetically converted barns, Threshing Barn seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comforts. From the moment you approach via the private driveway, the sense of exclusivity and tranquillity is undeniable. With its striking brick and flint façade, characterful beams, and an abundance of natural light, this is a home that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the beauty of countryside living.
Stepping inside, the generous proportions and warm ambience immediately impress. The sitting room is a wonderful space to relax and entertain, featuring large windows that frame views of the garden, while the elegant dining room provides the perfect setting for hosting family gatherings or intimate dinner parties. A standout feature is the kitchen/breakfast room fitted with modern appliances and ample storage which effortlessly combines functionality with style. Double doors open onto the garden, continuing the living space outdoors.
An exceptional addition to this home is the beautifully converted former garage, setting it apart from its adjoining barn. This spacious, triple-aspect room enjoys wonderful views to the front, side, and rear, flooding the space with natural light. Offering remarkable versatility, it can serve as a stylish annexe with its own en-suite and WC, a generous fifth ground-floor bedroom ideal for multi-generational living, a serene home office, or a cosy snug. Completing the ground floor is a practical utility room and a well-appointed WC, ensuring both convenience and comfort.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The principal suite is a peaceful retreat, boasting a dressing room and a stylish en-suite bathroom, while three further double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family or guests. A beautifully presented family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
A recent re-roofing project added Velux windows to the upper level, enhancing natural light and the airy feel throughout.
Externally
Outside, the south-facing garden is a tranquil haven, thoughtfully landscaped to enhance its peaceful setting. Originally a simple lawn with six silver birch trees, it has been transformed by the current owners with carefully chosen boundary planting, including two apple trees, two liquid amber maples, a Beni-Chidori Himalayan cherry that flowers in February, and an Acer Davidii snake-bark maple. Around 25 David Austin roses add seasonal colour, while raised beds provide further interest. The terrace is perfect for al fresco dining on summer evenings, and the neatly maintained lawn offers space to relax and take in the far-reaching countryside views. The mature trees and hedging ensure privacy, creating a true escape from the bustle of daily life.
With its blend of period charm, modern upgrades, and an unbeatable setting, Threshing Barn is a home to be savoured. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence or a countryside retreat, this is a property that delivers on every level.
