Blackditch Barns, Bartlow, Cambridgeshire CB21

Blackditch barns is a highly individual and beautifully presented detached village home providing versatile and well proportioned accommodation, which has been improved and upgraded during the current owners’ time of occupation creating, what is now, a beautiful and distinctive property.

The front door opens into a wide reception hall with vaulted ceiling, natural timber floor, exposed timbers and picture window looking into an inner courtyard. A secondary hallway has a stable door leading to outside linking to a well-appointed utility room with a range of storage cupboards, worktops, sink, space for appliances and window looking out to the front. The impressive kitchen/living room is also accessed from this hallway and provides a truly stunning reception area combining kitchen, living and dining areas in one large open-plan space. The room has a vaulted ceiling, luxury vinyl tiled flooring, windows to both the front and rear and glazed double doors opening into the courtyard, all of which draw in good amounts of natural light. The kitchen is a beautifully appointed Neptune kitchen incorporating an extensive range of storage cupboards, quartz worktops and large central island with breakfast bar. There are a number of integrated appliances including oven and Range cooker, microwave and steam oven, under-counter fridge and freezer and Quooker tap. The sitting area features a fireplace with fitted log burning stove, with the room also featuring exposed roof beams.

From the initial reception area an inner hallway, again featuring attractive luxury vinyl tiled flooring, forms a broad L-shape and gives access to the 4 nicely proportioned bedrooms; the master bedroom being a particularly attractive suite with its own luxuriously appointed en-suite shower room with large walk-in shower, wash hand basin set upon a stylish wooden vanity unit, WC and attractive patterned tiled flooring. The family bathroom is equally well-appointed comprising a 3-piece suite, again featuring attractive patterned tiled flooring.

Outside, the barn is approached by a gravel driveway which extends alongside the property leading to a double garage whilst also creating off-street parking space for numerous vehicles.

To the rear of the property sits a useful outbuilding which could be incorporated to serve a variety of purposes, whilst currently a large timber framed lined shed, has been sub-divided internally to create independent areas which have previously been used as gym, study and games room. There is also a useful loft area which sits above.

Between the outbuilding and principal dwelling sits a lovely sheltered inner courtyard, broadly hard landscaped with gravel and paved pathways and central circular raised flowerbed containing a mature tree.

Gardens to the front are a particularly impressive feature which the property sits behind, laid out predominantly to lawn and bordered to the front by attractive field fencing. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and incorporates a number of well-established trees with flowerbeds and borders. The variety of plants and shrubs with further mature hedging to one side, help to create a discreet enclosure to this lovely area. The garden also features a large pond, bordered by a decked walkway all around, which links to a further timber deck seating area with pergola over, providing a lovely space for outside entertaining.
