The Old Barn, Stockwith Road, Walkeringham, Doncaster DN10

A substantial converted barn with self-contained annexe.

Description
The Old Barn is an impressive detached barn conversion that was initially built in the 1800s and later converted in the early 1990s to create a stylish and very spacious family home. The property offers a wealth of accommodation extending to almost 5500 sq ft, incorporating the main house and a self-contained attached annexe, which is perfectly suited to multi-generational living, an au pair or to let out as an income generator. There is further scope to add a further self-contained apartment over the garage and workshop, which is currently used as storage and office space but has great potential for conversion (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).

The property has been appointed to the highest standards and includes many premium features, Velux windows and a stylish kitchen with granite work surfaces. The vendors have owned the home since it was converted and have undertaken an extensive programme of renovations, with the result being a modern, wonderfully warm and welcoming home. Character features abound, including exposed timber beams, cavernous brick fireplaces and a striking wood staircase. Most of the ground floor rooms have dual aspect windows on both sides of the house, so there is excellent natural light. The main hallway leads to a dining room, recently refitted kitchen with range cooker, utility room and shower room/WC. The sitting room is 33ft long and incorporates a study area/snug. Upstairs there four good-size bedrooms including a principal bedroom with en suite, plus family bathroom, with a fifth bedroom situated on a mezzanine. The self-contained annexe features a living room, two bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen, with an eaves space above that would be ideal for storage or conversion.

The house is set within about seven and a half acres of land, including paddocks, woodland featuring cherry and plum trees, gardens, a "suntrap" south-facing courtyard with a hot tub and BBQ, and extensive off-road parking on both tarmac and gravel driveways. The property would be well-suited to equestrian use given its grassland suitable for grazing and a wooden stable block with three looseboxes and a tack room. There would be space for a manege if required (subject to necessary consents). The property is accessed via electric sliding gates with intercom, and has the added benefit of a detached garage and workshop block.
