Accommodation Middle Farm Barn is set well back from the main road and enjoys pleasant easterly views over its own land. The barn is principally constructed of stone elevations under a Collyweston tile roof and was converted from a former farm building in 1991. The accommodation has been designed to allow occupants the benefit of flexible living accommodation. The front door leads into an outer hall with access to the cloakroom and WC and then into the vaulted double-height entrance hall. This impressive room has the benefit of additional heating from the Scandinavian log burner, a large window and inset double doors in the former barn entrance leading into the courtyard garden. The elegant dining room is double aspect with window seats, exposed timber beams and an open fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room is also vaulted and has a range of fitted units, a 2-door oil-fired AGA and a walk-in pantry fitted with shelves and space for two free-standing appliances (eg fridge and freezer). Double doors lead out of the kitchen to the courtyard garden as well as a door to the integral garden store/workshop with open-fronted dining area. The rear hall with back door leads to the secondary WC, store cupboard and the utility room with boiler, space for appliances and a large Belfast sink with teak drainer. To the first floor is the breath-taking drawing room, which is a very light room benefiting from the vaulted ceiling, a large stone fireplace with inset Jetmaster fireplace, exposed stonework, large velux windows and a charming Juliet balcony. The spacious, vaulted master bedroom is on the first floor with a fitted wardrobe with a refurbished master bathroom with separate shower, WC and sink. The bedrooms are principally laid out on the ground floor to the southern end of the house and comprise two double bedrooms, one with a sink unit, a single bedroom/study and a family bathroom, which requires a degree of updating. Overall; the property is well presented but may require a degree of updating in the kitchen and ground floor bathroom areas. There is also the possibility of increasing the house size to create a further bedroom or living accommodation in the integral single storey stores off the kitchen/breakfast room, subject to the relevant consents. Gardens The garden is split into two areas; one being the principal garden to the front of the barn and the second one being the private courtyard garden to the rear. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with some herbaceous borders, spring bulbs and stone walling. There are two log stores and the oil tank discreetly hidden in the side garden by the utility room. The courtyard garden is made up of a dining terrace area and the remainder is laid to gravel with mature planting. The store, workshop and open-fronted dining area would be well suited to being incorporated into the house, subject to consents. This courtyard is a real sun-trap area and is pleasantly private from nearby houses. Garden Buildings and Land The property is approached across a gravel drive and culminates in a gravel parking area to the front of the barn with a track leading down the garden to the timber garden store and the paddock. The paddock area comprises an enclosed vegetable plot, greenhouse with electricity and water connected and an open-fronted wood store. The paddock is laid to pasture and is enclosed by fencing. The paddock is interspersed with newly planted trees and amounts to 2.86 acres alone. General Information Services Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected.
