Green Lane, Churt, Farnham, Surrey GU10

Dating from the early 18th century, Butts Barn is an attractive stone-built and part-weatherboarded family home offering more than 3,500 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged in an L shape over two floors. Sensitively converted from a barn and attached cowhouse to provide a practical and cohesive living and entertaining environment, it combines modern amenities, quality fixtures and fittings and elegant décor with period features including a wealth of vaulted ceilings and exposed beams.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming split-level entrance hall. It opens on one side into a study/office with some cobbled flooring, an original cow stall and feeding rack, courtyard access and stairs rising to a vaulted first floor store, and on the other into a dual aspect sitting room with a fireplace with woodburning stove and French doors to the courtyard. The sitting room opens into an inner hall with a useful cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor. The hall opens into a stunning double-height sitting and dining room with a galleried library/leisure area over and full-height glazing incorporating French doors to the courtyard and garden. The adjacent dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room has a range of wall and base units, complementary work surfaces, modern integrated appliances, space for a table and an inter-connecting fitted utility room with garden access. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a bedroom wing. It provides three bedrooms, two with built-in storage, and a contemporary family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower.

The vaulted first floor houses a galleried library/leisure area overlooking the sitting/dining room below, configurable to the purchasers’ own requirements. Double doors open to a dual aspect principal bedroom with fitted storage and an en suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower.

The property is approached over a gravelled driveway providing private parking and giving access to a timber-framed triple garage. The generous well-maintained garden surrounding the property is laid mainly to lawn screened by mature hedging and trees. It features a paved and gravelled courtyard with mature planting, a gazebo-covered seating area and a raised terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The property also benefits from an attached garden studio, accessible from the courtyard.
