5 bedroom detached house for sale

History:Built in the late 1800s, and converted to a residential dwelling in 2006, Toll Bar Farm is steeped in history, and has a special relevance to the area, as tolls were collected for maintenance and upkeep of the now-known Annesley Lane. In 2003, planning permission was granted for a barn conversion with the original walls and stone as part of the construction. Completed in 2006, the property now consists of five bedrooms, four bathrooms, four reception rooms, a ground-floor toilet, and a washroom in the office bedroom. In recent years, two garages were extended and converted into an annex, consisting of a kitchen diner, living room, shower room, bedroom, and external yard space. Currently inhabited by a relative, the annex provides a perfect place for an office, teenage children, or better still, an opportunity for a short-term Air BNB holiday home.The property is south-facing and resides on an acre of land. The open courtyard has hosted wedding celebrations, big birthday parties, and family gatherings. The privacy and tranquility of this external lounge area can be utlised all year round, with double doors opening from the living room and kitchen breakfast room allowing freedom of movement throughout the property.The paddock and two stables have been used for horses and ponies. Stories of the children, and grandchildren, feeding the horses, building snowmen, raking the leaves in the autumn, and playing into the last light of day set the scene for a lifestyle to fall in love with. BarnBreakfast kitchenDouble glazed timber framed doors to the courtyard and floor-to-ceiling windows, chandelier lighting over the breakfast table, opening to the games room, door to the utility room, sitting room, and living room.The kitchen features a range of wall and base units, roll-top laminate work surfaces, a sink and a half, with drainer and mixer taps, a cooker range with a five-ring gas hob, extractor hood, and decorative tile splash backs, an integrated dishwasher, tiled floor, and ceiling spotlights.From the kitchen is a door into the living room, consisting of double glazed timber framed double doors that open into the courtyard, wood flooring, a multi-fuel burning fireplace, south facing floor to ceiling double glazed windows, wall mounted and chandelier lighting.Sitting room/snug - Double-glazed timber framed floor-to-ceiling windows, wall mounted and ceiling lighting, wood flooring, spiral staircase to the study/bedroom, and double-glazed skylight window over the stairwell.Study/bedroom four: a double bedroom featuring a double-glazed window and skylight window, radiator, and a washroom door consisting of a low-level toilet and wash hand basin.Utility room/toilet: wall and base units with a laminate work surface, stainless steel sink, drainer and mixer taps, plumbing and washing machine space, tumble dryer, wall-mounted boiler, low-level toilet, and fuse board.Games room: stable solid wood door and double glazed floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the courtyard, staircase leading to two further bedrooms and en suites, wood flooring, original barn walls, door to the family bathroom, and principal bedroom.Bathroom: double-glazed obscured window, bath with mixer taps, pedestal sink, low-level toilet, shower cubical, fully tiled walls, and tiled floor, wall-mounted heated towel rail, LED spotlights.Principal bedroom: south-facing double-glazed timber framed floor-to-ceiling windows and additional double-glazed windows, fitted wardrobes, radiator, and ceiling lighting.Bedroom two: located from the stairwell off the games room, this bedroom features a half-height wardrobe, a double-glazed skylight window with south-facing views over the fields, and a door to en suite bathroom.
