BENNICK BARN

A beautiful barn conversion with a tranquil setting, approx. 2.5 acres of grounds and an additional barn with planning granted for a separate 1 bedroom annex.

KEY FEATURES

Approached via a long sweeping driveway with an avenue of trees and spring flowers, the detached property is screened from the road and enjoys privacy and a surprisingly well-connected country setting.

Step inside through a bright yellow wooden door and into an entrance hall with space for shoes and coats. A further wooden door leads you in to a reception hall, semi-open plan to the main living area with stairs in front of you to one of the first floors.

Tall impressive ceilings with exposed wooden beams, deep wooden window sills and an grand log burning stove all feature within the main sitting area, while a short staircase leads down to the semi-open plan kitchen and breakfast area.

The kitchen with wooden cupboards, stone worktops and Cotswold stone floor sits snug around a corner and also benefits from a separate utility room and large pantry. Both kitchen and breakfast area overlook a pretty walled garden, to the rear of the property. This can be accessed from wooden French doors, perfect for an alfresco breakfast or morning coffee.

Doors from both the sitting room and utility, open into a bright dining space with a feature fireplace and inset log burner, as well as exposed beams and further wooden French doors leading out to the rear patio terrace.

KEY FEATURES CONTINUED...

The property offers flexible accommodation and could be arranged with up to seven bedrooms, with four to the ground floor and three to the first floors. These rooms are serviced by four bathrooms, one of which an en-suite to the principle bedroom. With such versatile accommodation, the option for different configurations of bedrooms, dressing rooms, studies and playrooms are almost endless.

White walls perfectly contrast with the wooden doors, windows and exposed beams throughout the property and every room enjoys a pleasant outlook or view.

Outside, a formal garden with large patio terrace sits to the back of the home. This garden enjoys a southerly aspect and is enclosed by a stone wall to two sides. Established tress and planted borders provide colour all year around and also many places to sit and enjoy being outside. A picket fence and gate opens into a tranquil spot, somewhat hidden from the main garden with a pretty nature pond, fed by a natural spring and framed by a drystone wall.

The Ox Pen – currently used as a log store, provides the perfect opportunity for a separate annex, office or gymnasium. The barn already has planning permission granted to convert into a one bedroom annex with en-suite, sitting room, separate kitchen and linen store. This separate building enjoys a further section of garden with a selection of fruit trees and country views.

To the North East aspect of the buildings, a large field with an elevated bank to one side and stream with a row of trees to the other. This vast open level space offers the perfect opportunity for anyone wishing to keep some small livestock, a horse or perhaps holiday accommodation (subject to necessary planning permission).

Overall a beautiful property full of charm and character, offering a country setting with great potential and a convenient location.
