Hawthorn Barn is a truly remarkable conversion representing a seamless fusion of contemporary architecture and rural charm. Designed with an emphasis on light, proportion, and flow, the property offers four beautifully appointed bedrooms and an exceptional living environment that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. From the outset, the home exudes a quiet elegance, its striking form enhanced by a sensitive appreciation of the surrounding countryside.
A spacious entrance hall sets the tone, flooded with natural light and providing a generous sense of arrival. Expansive glazing has been thoughtfully incorporated throughout, framing sweeping panoramic views and allowing the ever-changing landscape to become an integral part of the interior. This interplay between indoors and out creates an impressive harmony, while the single-storey design ensures an effortless connection between each carefully considered space.
The heart of the home is a beautifully crafted kitchen, designed with both style and practicality in mind. Bespoke cabinetry offers a refined aesthetic, complemented by a separate utility room and a dedicated pantry, ensuring elegance is matched with everyday functionality. It is a space perfectly suited to both family living and more formal entertaining, with a quiet sophistication underpinning every detail.
The free-flowing living space has been designed to adapt effortlessly to modern lifestyles, offering versatility without compromise. The living room benefits from a fitted flue, allowing for the installation of a stove to create a striking focal point. The master suite is a sanctuary of calm, served by an en suite bathroom complete with dual basins, a luxurious roll-top bath, and walk-in shower. A second suite features sliding doors to the rear terrace and contemporary shower room, ensuring practicality for family living or accommodating guests in style and comfort, while two additional bedrooms provide valuable flexibility — equally suited to use as a study, library, or playroom.
Externally, the barn occupies a generous plot; a gated sweeping gravel driveway provides ample space for parking several vehicles, bordering an expanse of lawn adjoining neighbouring farmland. An Indian sandstone terrace borders the barn on three sides, seamlessly connecting the living space with the outdoors and providing ideal areas for relaxing and entertaining. The front terraced is edged with pretty olive trees, all set against a backdrop of picturesque rural views.
Every inch of this highly individual conversion has been carefully considered, with functionality, style and energy-efficiency in mind. The external fascia is clad in Iroko hardwood, providing high durability and minimal maintenance. Underfloor heating runs throughout and is powered by a Vaillant heat pump - with savings of up to £450pa on running costs available.
