Description
10 Picton Barns is an exceptional modern barn conversion, combining timeless rural character with a refined, contemporary finish. Completed in 2021 by Oaksmore Heritage Property Holdings, this outstanding home forms part of the final phase of an exclusive development of just thirteen bespoke properties. Enjoying far reaching countryside views, a detached double garage and private parking, the house extends to approximately 3,750 sq ft and has been designed to maximise light, volume and effortless flow. The attention to detail is evident with high ceilings, generous room proportions and carefully considered finishes sitting alongside discreet, practical storage creating a home that is both striking and highly functional.

A welcoming reception hallway, illuminated by overhead Velux windows, forms the central axis of the ground floor, connecting all principal rooms and a walk in cloakroom.
To the front, two beautifully appointed reception rooms provide versatile living space. The formal living room features full height windows, while the second reception room opposite offers flexibility, equally suited to use as a sitting room, playroom or home office. A stylish ground floor shower room enhances flexibility, enabling the second reception room to serve as a guest bedroom if required.

To the rear of the property lies a superbly proportioned open plan space accommodating the kitchen and the dining and family area. The bespoke kitchen, centred around a substantial island, forms a natural gathering point, with a sizeable utility room offering extensive storage and appliance space; whilst the generous dining area can comfortably accommodate a large table alongside sofas making this the heart of the home and perfect for modern family living. There are also French doors leading directly onto the patio and gardens.

On the first floor, four spacious bedrooms offer well-balanced accommodation. The impressive principal bedroom provides a light and comfortable sanctuary, with a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens and open countryside, vaulted ceilings, a dressing area and an en suite. A second bedroom also enjoys vaulted ceilings, its own dressing area, fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

A real highlight of the home is the impressive top floor. Currently arranged as a home office, the fifth bedroom provides superb flexibility, ideal for use as a games room, creative studio or easily reinstated as a bedroom. Double doors open onto a superb roof terrace, perfect for alfresco dining, relaxation or evening drinks while taking in the surrounding countryside views.

The principal garden lies to the side of the house and has been beautifully landscaped to create a peaceful and highly functional outdoor setting with patio for enjoying al fresco dinning.
