Description
Hartwell Barn is a spacious barn conversion in a semi - rural setting.
Stone and brick construction under a slate roof.
The property offers extensive (approx. 5, 200 q ft gia) and versatile
accommodation on two floors with potential to create an integral annexe.
Hartwell Barn forms part of a range of extensive traditional agricultural
barns since converted in 2002 to provide four generous and exclusive barn
conversions.
There is a nod to more Roman times too where it is believed the whole farmyard
was on the site of a Roman Villa and thus the round pillars topped with
staddlestones. Certainly unusual and unique.
The make up of this small exclusive development means you form part of a very
small community in a lovely rural setting. Whilst your privacy is protected,
the cluster of dwellings means you are not isolated.
More interestingly, the property has the feeling of being both a barn
conversion and a conventional house – so more a hybrid. This means you enjoy
well - proportioned rooms, generous ceiling heights and windows/roof lights,
allowing natural light to pervade throughout. Of note are the two principal
reception rooms particularly the family/dining room with vaulted ceiling and
galleried landing; stunning kitchen/breakfast/living room; gym/bedroom seven;
study for working from home and principal bedroom suite.
There is attention to detail throughout particularly the kitchen and
bath/shower fittings, oak flooring, double glazing, generous conservation roof
lights, underfloor heating on the ground floor, ceiling light tunnels, marble
tiling and Grohe bathroom taps.
The open plan kitchen/breakfast/living room has a range of full height, wall
and base units, twin butler sinks, granite surround, integrated four oven
electric Aga with an extractor hood over with other integrated appliances by
Miele include an oven, dishwasher and fridge and freezer. The central island
has a granite work surface which incorporates a breakfast bar and a stainless
steel sink. There is laminate flooring throughout, glazed doors to the side
and full height windows and doors overlooking the garden and stone paved
terrace to the front, all making for perfect summer entertaining.
Electric double solid wooden gates open to a gravel driveway which leads to
the barn and a paved parking area and double garage beyond. The level, walled
gardens have been landscaped with a central lawn flanked by mature herbaceous
borders and beds containing a variety of shrubs and Italian oak trees. An
extensive south facing stone terrace spans the full width of the barn at the
front and is accessed by doors from the kitchen/breakfast/living room and the
two principal reception rooms. There is a private courtyard garden to the rear
with water feature, mosaic flooring and planting which catches the evening
sun.
Double garage of brick construction under a slate roof with two separate
electric up and over doors and a range of built - in storage cupboards.
