Description
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
This beautiful, unique and superbly crafted barn conversion is a welcome and rare addition to the market. Having been developed to a superb specification by Delamere Developments, the barn has subsequently been maintained to a similarly high and exacting standard by the present owner. It offers generously proportioned four bedroom, three bathroom accommodation.
There are numerous features of merit that include a beautiful entrance hall with bespoke oak staircase, magnificent open plan kitchen, master bedroom with it's Juliet balcony's, remarkable views and an external environment that comprises both lovely formal gardens and a double garage with studio over.
The property is approached by a long and sweeping driveway that leads to the barn itself. The barn benefits from off road parking in addition to the double garage / studio. The exceptional landscaped gardens are found on two sides of the property and comprise well tended areas of lawn and delightful paved patios. Superb rural views can be enjoyed from many angles and positions.
The double garage and studio is a high quality outbuilding. At ground floor level is the double garage with power and light connection and electrically operated up and over door. Water and drain point for further conversion.At first floor level is a large studio space that can be utilised for a number of differing requirements.
A viewing is strongly recommended to inspect a home that combines character with quality.
For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
