4 bedroom detached house for sale

Jasmine Barn is a truly remarkable property and one that appears quite modest from the exterior yet in actual fact delivers considerable accommodation, character and comfort. This 18c home was originally renovated around 2003 by the current owner, who then sold it on but bought it back around 4 years ago. Some may question this but there is good reason however, when you visit I’m sure you will become enchanted too, so beware!

The accommodation includes 4 Bedroom, 2 Doubles and 2 Singles with an En-suite to the Master Bedroom now used as bedroom 2 and Bedroom 2 currently used as the Master which has the main Bathroom a door step away with a traditional and quite grand suite that includes a roll top bath with ornate ironmongery. The part galleried landing that feeds the room overlooks the entrance hall and rises to the very apex of the roof which is flooded with natural light. For me the ground floor is simple charming, the Kitchen/Breakfast Room acts as the family room, the real hub of the home especially with Aga* which plays centre stage and the Sitting Room with the exposed beamed wall and wood burner offers a relaxing and cosy retreat for all the family plus with a Study or 5th Bedroom, Dining Room, Utility, W.C. And Boot Room there certainly more to this home that you would first believe.

There is so much more to this home that a visit is a must and to entice you further, attention should be paid to the photo of the view, as this uninterrupted rural aspect could be enjoyed by your every morning should you decide to buy.
