Property - Oakleaf is a substantial Grade II Listed converted barn that has been finished to an incredibly high standard and offers charm and character with many exposed timbers. The current owners have added to the wonderful flowing accommodation by acquiring extra land and the American barn making the property now a possible option for incredibly keen gardeners, those that want an equestrian property or someone who wants a great deal of storage.

The property is now set in approx. 1.4 acres.

Oakleaf has over 2,700 sq ft of accommodation, predominantly set over the ground floor whilst also offering spectacular panoramic views from the extensively glazed first floor rooms. The property has wonderfully well proportioned rooms that flow superbly, offering perfect living space for the modern family whilst still giving the option for multi-generational living with the potential annex.

The property is entered through the spacious reception hall which has the majority of the bedroom space to one side and the living area the other. The reception hall extends into a dining hall that has underfloor heating, this room could also be used as a lovely family room with views and French doors leading to the rear gardens. Beyond the dining hall is a bedroom with en-suite shower room.

The kitchen/breakfast/family room is situated at the front of the property and overlooks the front gardens. This area also has underfloor heating and benefits from a modern fitted kitchen with centre island that has pan drawers. There is a good range of wall and floor units with built in Neff double oven and induction hob, there is also a built-in fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen is an incredibly useful utility room with plenty of storage and a WC. The snug, located off the kitchen has a brick fireplace with log burning stove.

Completing the accommodation on the first floor is a further bedroom/study that has a small mezzanine area that could be used for storage. There is access here to a timber balcony that is in need of repair.

The bedroom accommodation continues off the other side of the hall and has 2 further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The end room has been used as many different guises and has a small kitchenette that could equally be converted to a further en-suite meaning this could be used as a self contained annex as there is access to the rear patio and gardens.

There is a detached double garage with a storage room to the rear as well as an electric car charging point and this is also where the Tesla battery is located.
