Set within mature landscaped gardens and complemented by a substantial detached one-bedroom annexe, known as The Cottage, this charming rural retreat provides an idyllic setting for family living, entertaining and accommodating extended family or visiting guests.

Main House:

The main residence has been well-designed to maximise natural light and embrace its attractive surroundings, with generous living spaces, stylish high-quality finishes, and a flexible layout arranged across two floors.

The ground floor begins with a generously sized living room boasting incredible space for a range of furniture, with dual-aspect windows, a set of French patio doors to the rear garden, a wood burning stove, and a solid wood staircase leading up to the first-floor master bedroom. An opening leads into a bright and spacious sun room, with triple-aspect views of the gardens and countryside, and a set of French doors to the side decked terrace.

At the heart of the home is an impressive triple-aspect kitchen and dining room, beautifully appointed with high-gloss wall and base units, a breakfast bar with a brick base and built-in wine rack, a set of integrated Neff appliances, tiled flooring, a set of stairs to the first floor landing, and a set of French patio doors. Completing the ground floor is a practical utility room fitted with wall and base units and providing additional storage and appliance space, and a ground-floor cloakroom WC.

Two separate staircases lead to the first-floor accommodation, creating a natural division between the sleeping quarters and offering an excellent degree of privacy, particularly suited to families or those regularly welcoming guests. The impressive principal bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes and further storage, and a newly appointed modern en-suite shower room, creating a comfortable and private retreat. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, completing the accommodation within the main residence.

The Cottage – Detached Annexe

A particularly attractive feature of Poplars Barn is The Cottage, a beautifully converted former outbuilding providing spacious and stylish ancillary accommodation, ideally suited to visiting family, guests or multigenerational living. Designed to offer comfort and independence, the annexe features an impressive vaulted living room with a wood-burning stove, triple-aspect views and a set of bi-folding patio doors, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and an adjoining utility room, a cloakroom WC, and a generous double bedroom benefitting from fitted units and its own en suite shower room. The annexe provides an exceptional degree of flexibility while remaining conveniently positioned alongside the main residence.

Please note: The Cottage is subject to a planning condition restricting its use to ancillary residential accommodation.

Gardens and Grounds

The property is approached via ample off-road parking and benefits from a double garagse with electric doors, power and lighting, providing secure parking and useful storage. Poplars Barn enjoys a delightful rural setting, surrounded by beautifully established gardens and grounds that perfectly complement the character of the property, boasting sweeping lawns, mature trees and thoughtfully landscaped planting, while several attractive seating terraces provide wonderful opportunities for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the surrounding countryside. A charming wildlife pond adds to the natural appeal of the gardens, attracting local wildlife and enhancing the tranquil atmosphere, and a hot tub positioned beneath a covered veranda provides a further area for relaxation and is available by separate negotiation.

For those seeking additional outdoor space, the property also benefits from a sloping paddock extending to approximately 1.1 acres, offering a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the countryside setting and for equestrian use if desired.
