An attractive, traditional Victorian flint and brick barn conversion, providing elegant, high quality accommodation, together with a large private garden, courtyard garden and a self-contained Coachhouse incorporating a two car garage. The property provides 2942 sqft (273 sqm) of versatile accommodation enjoying lovely far reaching views and offering large open plan living space, together with more private accommodation.
The property has been professionally updated throughout and benefits from a hand made timber kitchen located in a large open plan living space, a luxurious family bathroom, 2 newly renovated en-suites, and an elegant first floor sitting room with stunning views over open fields. It is also offered with no upward chain.
Approached through the private courtyard garden at the rear of the property, the main entrance opens to a large reception/dining hall with the staircase leading up to the first floor and built in storage. The room is dual aspect, with huge floor-to-ceiling glazed panels that flood the room with natural light. The main barn doors can be opened onto the courtyard to connect the kitchen and dining room with the outside. The beautiful hand-made kitchen is situated around a large central island and provides ample storage. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with an Aga at its heart, has a butler sink with boiling water tap, and an integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. In addition to this and also on the ground floor, there is a separate dual aspect living room with a door out to the main garden and patio area, a dual aspect office/bedroom five, a utility room, and a cloakroom.
On the first floor, the principal sitting room is a stunning room of generous proportions, with a truly lovely view. There is a galleried landing opening to a large sitting area with floor to ceiling glazing that floods the room with natural light. The vaulted ceiling adds to the sense of space and drama and the room has lovely characterful details such as natural brick pillars and exposed timbers. The guest bedroom is off the sitting room and has an en-suite shower room. The main bedroom and bedrooms three and four are off an inner hallway at the other end of the building, adding to the sense of privacy for both family and guests. The main bedroom is dual aspect and has an en-suite shower room, the third bedroom is another good double and is dual aspect and there is a smaller fourth room which is a single. There is also a luxurious family bathroom with a roll-top bath, vanity unit with hand basin over, and w.c.
The Coachhouse is located within the grounds of Queensbury Barns but separated by a fence, with its own private entrance. It was built to a high specification around 18 years ago and complements the main barn perfectly. The Coachhouse accommodation is completely self-contained and could be used to house a relative or to provide an income as a rental. There is a living space with a kitchen, fitted with an oven and hob, an integrated slimline dishwasher, and space for a washing machine and fridge freezer. There is also a shower room on this level and a double bedroom on a mezzanine reached by stairs from the main living space. The garage under the living accommodation provides parking for two vehicles and has a storage cupboard. The annexe is independently assessed for council tax and is rated A.
The property enjoys a private southwest facing rear garden that is laid to lawn with hedging providing screening from the neighbouring property. There is a private courtyard garden adjacent to the coach house and this is laid to lawn with a gravelled area which offers space for an additional car should this be required, there is also a private driveway that gives access to the Coachouse and provides more parking.
