Chapel Farm Barns Chapel Farm Barns is an impressive timbered barn conversion, which has been beautifully restored. The barn, which is Grade II Listed, offers versatile accommodation ideal for entertaining. The dining hall is a particular feature, with a vaulted ceiling, large inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove and a wealth of exposed bricks and beams, which are evident throughout the barn. The kitchen/breakfast room, with views over the garden, has been designed and crafted by John Lewis of Hungerford, and has an Aga and Neff two ring electric hob. Steps lead from the kitchen to the sitting/breakfast room which has access to the garden. Above the kitchen is storage which could be converted to a playroom, if required. The spacious drawing room has triple aspect views and an open fireplace. Completing the ground floor is a study, utility room and boot area. There is also a double garage, which could be converted into further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. The spacious beamed master suite, with built in wardrobes, has an en suite bathroom with a separate shower, freestanding bath and double basins. There are stairs leading up to a dressing room/nursery which is built into the eaves. The master suite also has direct access to a private patio area in the garden. There are two further bedrooms on the ground floor as well as a shower room. The family bathroom and bedroom 4 are accessed off the galleried landing leading from the dining hall. N.B.
