Characterful Period Barn Conversion with Stylish Accommodation

Description
Baxter’s Barn is a delightful and sophisticated conversion of a period barn, featuring handsome red brick and weatherboard elevations, a wealth of period features, and a pantile roof. The property is in exceptional condition with underfloor heating & benefits from terraces, low-maintenance gardens, and garaging. The front door opens into a useful entrance hall, leading to a cloakroom and a superb, well-proportioned open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting room. Flooded with natural light from south east facing windows and bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace, this generous space is ideal for entertaining and family living. Period features, including exposed studwork and flint walls, blend seamlessly with contemporary elements such as anthracite wooden windows and a Shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances.

There are three double bedrooms, including a generously proportioned principal bedroom with an en suite and glazed doors to the garden, along with a well-appointed family bathroom.

Baxter’s Barn has two gardens: An east-facing garden, ideal for morning coffee, and a principal west-facing garden with a spacious terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, lawn, and well-stocked borders. The property also benefits from useful extensive garaging for parking and storage.
