Property description
A beautifully presented barn conversion of great charm and character which has been sympathetically converted and finished to the highest of standards, together with superbly presented landscaped rear gardens in an exclusive courtyard style setting, just outside the North Shropshire lakeland town of Ellesmere.
Description - Halls are favoured with instructions to offer 3 Newnes Barns, near Ellesmere, for sale by Private Treaty.
The property, which was converted in 2007/2008, is appointed to a contemporary style whilst retaining numerous original period features throughout. The property offers deceptively spacious internal accommodation, presented to an exacting standard, comprising a Kitchen/Dining Room, Utility Room, Coat Room, Cloakroom, Lounge, Library Area, Store Room and, on the first floor, a Master Bedroom Suite (which includes an En-Suite Bathroom and Dressing Room), and two further Bedrooms, each with an En-suite Shower Room and a store cupboard.
The property has the benefit of double glazed windows, a ground source heat pump (renewed 2019), with underfloor heating to the whole of the ground floor and radiators to the first floor. There are ample brushed steel sockets and light switches throughout. All internal doors are ledge and brace solid oak.
The setting of these properties are particularly worthy of note as there is a communal paddock, for use by all residents, a surface water harvesting system, a visitors/overspill parking area and shared allotments.
The gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property and have been landscaped to include a "sunken patio" and gently sloping lawns with central pathway. Off the central courtyard is a double garage with half of the garage having mezzanine storage.
Underfloor heating by a ground source heat pump system and zone heating controls plus double glazing are a very energy efficient combination. Add to that a rain water harvesting system to flush toilets and water allotments for washing cars, creating an extremely environmentally friendly property.
Halls the selling agents, have no hesitation in recommending it for an immediate inspection to appreciate the quality both internally and externally.
