5 bedroom detached house for sale

The house is believed to have 18th-century origins, which can be seen in its attractive timber-framed elevations and internal period features, though it is not listed and as such has been extensively improved and modernised while respecting its original character. Exposed beams, brick detailing and wood doors are balanced by contemporary additions such as beautifully outfitted bathrooms and attractive colour schemes.

The house has been refurbished from top to bottom, including new floors, walls, electrics, plumbing, windows and underfloor heating. The open plan kitchen, dining room and family room is a fantastic modern addition with bespoke joinery from local kitchen outfitter, Burnhill Kitchens, polished concrete flooring and a breakfast bar which doubles as a kitchen island. An integral storage bench provides seating for a dining table, situated in front of vast sliding glazed doors which provide excellent natural light.

Separate to the open plan living space there is a living room, family room and snug, plus two double bedrooms with access to a shared shower room. Service rooms include a walk-in pantry, utility room, boot room and cloakroom with WC. Upstairs the three further double bedrooms are arranged off a spacious landing: the principal bedroom has an en suite bath/shower room with freestanding bath, while the two other bedrooms share a family bathroom.

The Barn enjoys a quiet and leafy position on a popular road with well-spaced houses and mature greenery all around. The property sits side on to the road, facing one other house, and is fronted by an expansive lawn bordered by mature shrubs around the property and the boundary. The rear garden is south west-facing and paved in a pleasant Mediterranean style, with a separate area currently used as a children’s play area. A private gravel driveway accessible from Coldharbour Lane leads up to a detached single garage, with further off-street parking reached via the shared access road at the front of the house.
