Standford Lane, Headley, Bordon, Hampshire GU35

An exceptional Grade II listed barn set within around 0.5 acres.

Description
Set discreetly within a Conservation Area and dating back to the 1600s, this remarkable Grade II listed split level barn combines historic character with highly impressive accommodation, offering five bedrooms and beautifully proportioned living spaces throughout.

Constructed of brick and weatherboard beneath a tiled roof, the barn retains a wealth of original features, including exposed beams which run throughout the property and contribute to its unique charm.

The entrance opens into a welcoming reception hall, featuring terracotta tiled flooring and complemented by bespoke storage and shelving. From here, wide steps lead up to the family room, which is centred around an attractive brick fireplace with a log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point for the space. A door leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room, which has been thoughtfully designed with bespoke cabinetry combining oak and granite work surfaces. Features include a butler’s sink, larder, central island with double width gas hob and breakfast bar, wine fridge, three integrated ovens, an integrated microwave and space for an American style fridge/freezer. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs. Leading off the kitchen are a cloakroom, pantry and a practical utility room.

A striking double height glazed window with double doors provides wonderful natural light and direct access to the garden.

The main living room and dining room occupy much of the original barn footprint and offer a truly impressive space for both entertaining and everyday living. Vaulted ceilings and magnificent original beams combine to create a striking yet comfortable setting.

On the lower ground floor there are three well proportioned bedrooms, one of which features a freestanding bath within the room and double doors opening directly onto the garden. This level also benefits from a shower room and a dedicated study.

The principal bedroom is positioned to take full advantage of views over the kitchen via a glazed galleried window, extending out towards the garden beyond. The suite is complemented by an en suite bathroom and a dressing room, which could also serve as a nursery. From the landing, a ladder provides access to a small mezzanine area, adding further character and flexibility.

Privately situated and well screened from the road, the barn is approached through a five bar gate and along a track flanked by lawns, leading to a parking area and an attached double car port.

To the rear of the property is a raised terrace with well established and fully stocked flower beds, ideal for outdoor entertaining. Steps lead to a further lawned area, with the gardens enclosed by mature trees, planting, hedging and fencing, offering a high degree of privacy.

Complementing the main house is a detached garage building, which benefits from a separate entrance. The ground floor provides a bathroom and a designated space that has been pre-wired and plumbed, offering potential for use as a kitchen, with stairs rising to a bedroom with skylights above, making it ideal for guest or staff accommodation, gym or hobbies space.
