Description Of Property
Pool Barn is an exceptional place to live; privately positioned in its own beauty spot, nestled at the head of a lane and set in generous grounds with its own tranquil private lake and commanding views over the countryside. The main house and self contained annexe is set back behind a walled frontage. A gated entrance sweeps around the lake making for a remarkable approach towards the main house and gardens.
The barn has been sympathetically enlarged and luxuriously appointed by the present owners including external landscaping, and more recently construction of the garden store. It is the breathtaking views across the South East windows which make this property so very special and unique.
The internal accommodation extends to over 5300 sq ft. And has been designed to be spacious but comfortable, with family living in mind, and a focus on connecting the house, annexe and garden around a central courtyard. Pool Barn successfully blends the many original features of a country property with today’s modern refinements to create a spacious and perfectly proportioned family residence of character and style. Other notable modern amenities include underfloor heating throughout the main house, a gym, silent air conditioning to master suite, first floor east wing and gymnasium, CCTV and enhanced security.

A dedicated dining area in front of characterful exposed brick wall provides a perfect space for informal dining. Floor to ceiling windows and a further door opening onto the courtyard at the front of the house allow plenty of natural light into the space.
Appliances include a 4 oven high gloss black Aga, integrated oven, microwave oven above, induction hob, integrated fridge, freezer, wine cooler and dishwasher. One of the main features of the kitchen is its vaulted ceiling highlighting the reclaimed beams. The floors are karndean. The utility room (leading from the main kitchen/diner), features similar wall and base units, stable door to the gardens, sink, and tiled splashbacks, along with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
