An opportunity to purchase an incredibly private and unique bungalow in a truly special location. The bungalow enjoys an incredibly high level of privacy whilst providing stunning open views to the South over open countryside.Approached along a substantial private driveway and surrounded by open farmland you will find the incredibly secluded Middle Barton Farm. The property is surrounded by mature gardens and lightly wooded copses that bound open farmland, this affording the property an incredible level of privacy and tranquility. The property lies in mature formal gardens of approx 1.8 acres, this being made up of lawned gardens, a lightly wooded copse and wild garden areas. There are also two additional paddocks and a second driveway that leads to a detached barn and timber chalet. In total the property enjoys the benefit and enjoyment of  seven acres of land and gardens.The property has been the subject of comprehensive updating and improvement throughout, with the current owners creating a truly special home in a unique location. The property now provides a high standard of modern living that is both spacious whilst also providing an element of flexibility rarely seen in the current market. The flexible layout would allow for the creation of a spacious separate annex if required by a purchaser. The current owners have increased the efficiency of the home with addition of solar panels and improved insulation, this providing the property with much lower than average energy running costs.Presently the bungalow provides four spacious double bedrooms, two of these having the benefit from en-suite facilities. There are two living areas, both of these enjoying direct access to the gardens, the main living area walking out to a full width private decked terrace. The owners have also updated the spacious family kitchen dining room, this room providing access to an additional dual aspect snug that overlooks the gardens.Externally there is a detached timber and block barn that previously housed six stables with additional tractor and hay storage plus ancillary rooms. The owners have previously investigated the potential of creating a new eco home as a replacement for the barn, the barn is approached by a secondary driveway and received a positive reaction from the owners architect. The current barn measures approx 4000 sqft (370 sqm), this would provide a spacious second property that would also enjoy a great degree of privacy. There is also a separate detached timber chalet, this having been used by visiting family, this could make an ideal holiday letting property, again this is accessed via the separate secondary driveway so would retain the privacy of the main home.To the rear of the property there is further paddock beyond the formal gardens, this paddock being bounded by mature hedging with fencing to the southern boundary, this paddock measures approx 2.6 acres. The paddock has stunning open outlook and enjoys far reaching rural views over open countryside towards the south coast. The property also has the added benefit of a secondary paddock which measures approx 2 acres.A fantastic opportunity for any buyer seeking a high level of privacy and seclusion yet being just minutes from road and rail links.A viewing of this stunning home is very highly advised.
