Hargate Farm Barn & Ash Tree Barn
Hargate Farm Barn is an exceptional detached barn conversion offering beautifully presented and highly versatile accommodation, combining an abundance of character with a high-quality contemporary finish. Together with the separate detached Ash Tree Barn, currently utilised as a holiday let, the property provides a rare opportunity for multi-generational living, independent guest accommodation or potential income generation.

The main barn is predominantly arranged over a single level and is characterised by impressive vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and brickwork, together with sandstone tiled flooring and underfloor heating throughout.

At the heart of the home is the attractive Shaker-style kitchen, which forms part of a wonderfully sociable open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. A separate utility room provides additional practicality.

Two generous reception areas are positioned at opposite ends of the barn, both featuring wood-burning stoves and providing excellent flexibility for family living. A particularly attractive feature is the mezzanine level overlooking one of the reception areas, providing an additional space ideally suited to a home office, reading area or snug.

There are four well-proportioned vaulted bedrooms, including the main bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, together with a separate cloakroom.

Throughout the property, the combination of exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings, brickwork and natural materials creates a wonderful sense of warmth and character, complemented by the quality of the finish.
