This delightful property is a lovingly converted barn, with the work having been carried out to a high standard by the current owner. Featuring highly adaptable accommodation and mainly lateral living space, it has been thoughtfully refurbished and modernised to provide a bright and well-balanced layout. The entrance hall provides a very welcoming space, with floor to ceiling glazed wall, tiled floor and a bespoke timber staircase. Double doors from the hall lead into a charming sitting room. With vaulted beamed ceiling, fitted bookcases, exposed brick chimney breast, and log burner. In turn, this room leads onto a delightful orangery with a wonderful aspect across the front garden. The kitchen / dining room is a particular feature of the property and is an excellent entertaining space. A range of bespoke solid wood painted units are fitted along a feature brick wall, with a substantial island unit providing further storage space. The kitchen is fitted with a range of integrated appliances along with a double width stainless steel fridge and range cooker. This area, with its vaulted ceiling and bifold doors onto the rear garden, represents the heart of the house and a very sociable cooking and dining space.

A study / guest room on the first floor is accessed via the landing and has ample eaves storage.

Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
