About New Closes Barn
This stunning stone built barn conversion with stone slate roof is one of 3 exclusive dwellings in a little known setting down a country lane off Wickens Lane. The property is Grade II Listed and has been home to our clients since conversion in 2018. It is set in approximately 2.78 acres of grounds and enjoys outstanding far reaching views which must be seen to be appreciated.
The property is entered via a central glazed door in the original barn opening to the dining kitchen. This, with additional glazing around the door provides spectacular views with the additional drama of a double height ceiling, with exposed roof trusses over part of the kitchen area. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of hand painted in frame units with granite worksurfaces and a Falcon range style cooker with induction hob.
The lounge is to be found to the right of the kitchen and is of excellent proportions. It features a log burning stove and has mullioned windows. To the other side of the kitchen you will find a useful study, utility room with boiler cupboard and a downstairs wc.
Stairs from the kitchen lead to the first floor where there is a galleried landing which features stunning roof trusses set upon stone details. From here you can access the 3 good sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a high angled ceiling and access to an open mezzanine loft space. This room is en-suite to the main bathroom which is shared with bedroom 3. Bedroom 2 has its own en-suite shower room.
The property is finished with good quality fixtures and fittings, complimenting the more traditional features. It has wooden framed double-glazed windows and a ground source heating system with underfloor heating throughout the house.
Externally, the property is accessed via a driveway in front of the other 2 houses which leads to a good sized private parking area to the front and side of the building, suitable for several vehicles. There is access here to the large stone built barn / garage which features a large garage / workshop area with roller shutter door downstairs and an additional space which could meet a number of uses on the upper floor. There are pleasant gardens surrounding the property with 2 paddocks of grazing land beyond. The total site area extends to approximately 2.78 acres.
