Upon entering the property through a grand hardwood entrance door, you are greeted by an impressive, high-vaulted entrance hall, showcasing exposed roof trusses and an elegant Italian-tiled floor with underfloor heating. Leading off from the hall is a magnificent double-height dining room, featuring the original high barn door, which flows effortlessly into the sitting room, bathed in natural light from dual-aspect French doors. The natural oak flooring and exposed trusses add an undeniable charm and character. An open balustrade staircase leads to a striking mezzanine, enhancing the sense of space and light.
The dining kitchen serves as the true heart of the home, masterfully blending modern design with timeless country style. It is fitted with elegant Vanilla Shaker-style units, complemented by luxurious granite work surfaces, a classic double Belfast sink, a range of integrated appliances, and underfloor heating. Bifold doors open onto the garden, providing a seamless connection to the outdoor space and offering sweeping, far-reaching views.
