Description - Northwood Barn is an imposing contemporary barn conversion strikingly designed to sit, with a multitude of robust straight lines and clean edges, in contrast against the undulating landscape it dominates, whilst enjoying a range of rugged architectural features retained in celebration of its agricultural heritage. The barn has been carefully crafted to exacting standards and now offers over 3,400 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged living accommodation situated across a single storey that provides a versatile array of rooms ideal for a range of buyers.

Further land is available by separate negotiation.

The property is further complemented by a substantial outbuilding positioned to the west of the property, this extending, in all, to over 1,100 sq ft and comprising a number of distinct aspects currently utilised as Garaging, Workshop, and Store, but with flexibility for onward usages.

Situation - Northwood Barn is peacefully situated in a bucolic rural position within the hamlet of Northwood, with the unspoilt landscape of the English/Welsh border undulating majestically around it and offering a truly enchanting setting for this impressive home. Despite its idyllic setting, the property enjoys a close proximity to the lakeland town of Ellesmere which offers an array of day-to-day amenities, including Schools, Supermarket, Public Houses, and Medical Facilities, with the county centres of Shrewsbury and Wrexham lying to the south and north respectively and boasting a comprehensive range of amenities, including artistic and cultural attractions. The larger cities of Chester, Liverpool and Manchester lie further to the north but remain within a reasonable commuting distance and reachable by road in under 90 minutes.

Schooling - The property is conveniently situated for access to a number of well regarded state and private schools, including Ellesmere Primary School, Lakelands Academy, The Maelor School, Criftins C of E Primary (rated outstanding), Welshampton C of E Primary School, Ellesmere College, Moreton Hall, and Oswestry School.

The Property - The property has been elegantly crafted as a celebration of social and open-plan living, with two substantial reception spaces positioned at either end of the home, connected by a central corridor allowing an organic and life-style friendly ambience to the design.

Principally accessed via the southern wing into an imposing open-plan Kitchen/Dining/Living space with full-height ceilings featuring exposed beams; the room provides almost 1,100 sq ft of flexible and effortlessly versatile living accommodation which can be easily arranged to suit the needs of any buyer, with a high-specification fully-fitted kitchen positioned in one corner and complemented by an array of picture windows which offer idyllic views across the land and countryside beyond, these alongside patio doors which exit onto the gardens.

Mirroring the southern aspect, the north of the property comprises a secondary reception space, with tiled floors and exposed beams providing a striking counterpoint to the vistas offered through the triple aspect windows and fully-glazed bi-fold doors. The room, as per the south, doesn't impose a fixed suggestion of arrangement but, aside from the fitted kitchen, allows a blank canvas for buyers to make their unique mark on this open space.

Connecting the two impressive reception spaces is a central corridor, from which access is provided into three generously proportioned Bedrooms, all with their own stylishly appointed En-Suites, with the living accommodation completed by a Utility Room which features a further Shower Room.
