Description
West Barn is a really appealing and versatile family home. It is one of two that were converted in 2008 and the owners have been here since then - further enhancing the property in so many ways during their tenure. Of mainly mellow Cambridge brick elevations beneath a slate roof, the (unlisted) barn exudes quality and attention to detail throughout. The versatile accommodation incorporates a single story side "wing" with a couple of ground floor vaulted rooms for use as either sitting, studying or sleeping – perfect for guests or dependent relatives perhaps.
Most of the flooring on the ground floor is oak and there is (gas fired) underfloor heating throughout.
On the ground floor the light filled, welcoming hall leads to the sitting room at the far end with delightful curved wall, oak flooring, a Firebelly woodburner, plantation shutters and French doors to the garden. Beside this is the impressive kitchen, with an extensive range of white Stoneham units – some curved - with black Corian worktops and upstands. With a (slightly higher) white breakfast bar, fitted appliances include a Miele frost free fridge and freezer; touch screen oven, combi microwave, steamer and coffee machine; dishwasher (with knock to open feature), an induction hob with extractor powered by an external motor (thereby being much quieter) together with integrated bin and a water softener.
The kitchen has an internal door to the stairway and also opens into the magnificent dining area which was added during 2015 – this is predominantly glazed on three sides with a partially glazed ceiling and fully cantilevered doors (incorporating internal electric louvred blinds) which open directly to the terrace and garden making this room an amazing inside/outside space. In addition there is a study/snug/playroom with French doors and a utility room with Vaillant combi boiler, space for washing machine and tumble dryer and space for racking to accommodate wifi equipment and whole house audio visual equipment. The side "wing" overlooks the second garden area and as previously mentioned incorporates a guest suite of bedroom and en suite, second bedroom or study/sitting room– so offers considerable versatility.
On the first floor the landing and main bedroom incorporate open brickwork – features from the original barn (now glazed) and there is exposed mellow brickwork beside the stairs. The vaulted main bedroom incorporates a walk-in wardrobe/dressing and a shower room, there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Electric gates lead to the drive with considerable parking area and detached garage – which has been built to a high specification – with resin flooring and external '3 Phase' electric vehicle charger. With a staircase to the upper floor leading to a fantastic study/gym or potential separate annexe - with the addition of a shower for example.
The gardens have been meticulously designed with Evergreen American Oak pleached trees along the boundary – all individually lit – and wide terraces and an impressive bespoke 12' x 10' shed with power and LED lighting. The garden also has preparation for a Husqvarna automatic mower. The second "secret" garden has artificial lawn and a shed.
Square Footage: 2634 sq ft
