SELLER INSIGHT

Welcome to Tucketts Barn, our little piece of paradise in a picturesque village. Nestled in a private enclave, our home is a sanctuary of tranquillity where we can enjoy the warmth of a close-knit community or retreat behind closed gates for ultimate privacy. From the moment we laid eyes on the place, we fell in love with its charm and character.

One of the first things we noticed were the thick walls that keep our home cosy in the winter and delightfully cool in the summer. The four patios that follow the sun or shade provide perfect spots for outdoor relaxation or entertaining, with three sets of barn doors that open to create seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces. Our sitting room is a magical place during Christmas, with a towering 12-foot Christmas tree that fills the room with festive cheer. In the summer, it becomes a fabulous entertaining space with multiple seating areas outside, perfect for enjoying the warm weather.

One of our favourite features of the property is the mezzanine, which provides us with additional space for my design studio, a chill-out area, and a spare room for guests. With its own private garden and patio area, it’s a perfect retreat within our home. The gardens surrounding our property are a haven for children and animals alike, offering endless opportunities for adventure and play, all within a secure and safe environment.

Inside, our home boasts a beautifully crafted bespoke wooden kitchen, hand-painted with Little Greene paint. It features a designer Elica hood and two Neff cookers, a warming tray, and an extralarge induction hob, all centred around a stunning 12-foot island made of Bianca Massa quartz. It’s not just a functional space for preparing meals, but also a wonderful entertaining area.

Tucketts Barn is not just a beautiful home, but also a practical one. With underfloor heating in the sitting room, oil heating, mains electric and water supply, and a sewerage treatment plant installed last year, we have all the modern amenities for comfortable living. The fully insulated loft, complete with electricity and boarding, provides ample, convenient storage space.

One of the things we cherish most about living here is the sense of community. The village pub, a quiet and welcoming spot, serves fabulous food, especially their Sunday roasts. It’s a great hub for meeting villagers, family, and friends, and adds to the warm and friendly atmosphere of our village.

After nine wonderfully happy years at Tucketts Barn, we are reluctantly saying goodbye. Our decision to leave is driven by the need for more land for our daughter’s pony, but we will always treasure the memories we have made in this truly special place. Tucketts Barn has provided us with a sense of peace, security, and belonging. It’s been our private haven, where we’ve enjoyed the wildlife, the village, the magnificent birdsong, and the warm community spirit that we can dip in and out of as we please. We really hope the new owners, enjoy living here as much as we have.”*

As you ascend to the first floor, you’ll find a split landing with bedroom three on the right-hand side. This charming room features its own small mezzanine snug space, making it a perfect option for a child’s bedroom. On the other side of the landing, there is a high-quality family bathroom and two generously sized double bedrooms, both featuring windows that overlook the front of the property.
