5 bedroom barn conversion for sale

This large Grade II listed barn dates back to circa 1813 and was sympathetically converted in 1982 by the current owners. A later thoughtful addition of a seamless garden room extension created a third beautiful reception room which wonderfully takes in the garden and countryside views. In summary it offers the buyer a fabulous family home with versatile living space coupled with beautiful mature gardens and a location that is excellent for ease of access to Ashby de la Zouch, Burton on Trent and the M42. The scenic National Forest is on your doorstep with Conkers, Hicks Lodge and many woodland parks and walks all nearby.

Accommodation - The property sits handsomely well back from the road behind a shared private driveway approach which takes you onto the barn's expansive drive where there is parking for multiple vehicles.

What an entrance! In the dramatic hallway, a double height arched window fills the space with natural daylight and makes for a beautiful introduction into the barn. A galleried landing looks down from above and leading off the hall you will find a wealth of living space.

The property offers three reception rooms which include a large beamed living room with feature brick inglenook fireplace with inset log burner, an amazing contemporary high ceilinged garden room which is a beautiful space to sit, take in the wonderful gardens and look down the wooded valley from the feature picture window while a beamed dining room has French doors to the rear gardens and lies open plan to the kitchen meaning its a natural hub to the home.

The kitchen has been beautifully refitted with an array of cabinets along two sides of the room with contrasting countertops over. A wide picture window sits above the sink and overlooks the gardens.

Completing the ground floor you will find a useful utility/boot room and guest's cloakroom.

Take a tour upstairs and you will find there are five excellent sized bedrooms with four overlooking the beautiful gardens. Bedroom one has the benefit of a contemporary en suite shower room and bedroom two is a character split level room which too has a private en suite bathroom.

The family bathroom comprises a walk in shower, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

Last but most definitely not least we come to the amazing gardens, a perfect place for entertaining and family life with a large patio area and expansive lawn with mature carefully curated planted borders. The gardens enjoy excellent privacy and are complemented by a separate and abundant kitchen garden. Here you can grow your own organic fruit and vegetables and take your pick of the pretty cut flowers to decorative your home! There is also useful outdoor storage for wood and tools
