Description Brook Barn is tucked away on the edge of the village, is approached via a bridge over the brook and is positioned sideways onto the lane so the full extent of its size is not initially appreciated. Of weatherboarded elevations beneath a reed thatched roof, the property has recently been built on the site of a former barn with great attention to detail. The ground floor is particularly spacious, has been well-designed to take advantage of the light and provides spacious and versatile accommodation to suit a variety of needs. Noteable features include underfloor heating throughout supplied by a ground source heat pump, mood lighting in the kitchen and sitting room, and a well fitted kitchen with granite work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances. All the bedrooms are doubles with en suite bath/shower rooms and heated towel rails.
Approaching the property from the drive, there are steps (and a slope) with storm porch to the entrance hall. There is a welcoming reception area with cloaks cupboard, tiled cloakroom with vanity unit and to the right is the kitchen/breakfast room. With ceramic tiled flooring, it is fitted with a good range of high gloss laminate units with granite work surfaces and incorporates a pull out larder unit, corner carousel, 1 1/2 bowl stainless steel sink unit with macerator, integrated Bosch dishwasher, oven and microwave. There is also space for an American style fridge/freezer, a shelved store cupboard and there is a utility room off with space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, sink unit and a Vaillant ground source heat pump unit. Opposite the kitchen is the triple aspect dining room (or family room) and the hall leads on to the large sitting room. This is a really super room - allowing sufficient space for sitting and dining if preferred - with oak flooring, two sets of French doors leading to the terrace on one side and the garden on the other enjoying garden views, stairs to the first floor and an under stairs cupboard. Beyond is the delightful vaulted, triple aspect garden room or study with further French doors to the rear garden. On the first floor, there is a deep eaves cupboard housing the underfloor heating manifold, and at the far end overlooking the rear garden is the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and an en suite bathroom incorporating a spa bath, granite-topped vanity unit, W.C. with concealed cistern and a walk-in shower. The second bedroom (at the front) has an en suite bathroom with panelled bath and shower over, whilst the remaining two bedrooms have en suites with corner showers. Outside, as the name would suggest, the property is accessed via a bridge over a brook leading to a shingle parking and turning area and the detached double garage with electric roller shutter door. The mature gardens surround the property and there is also a garden shed with Mansard roof and power laid on. Agents note - LOT 2 The adjoining plot of land to the east is also available to purchase. Planning permission was granted on 4th January 2018 (Ref S/2786/16/FUL) for the erection of a single storey dwelling. Further details are available from the selling agents.
