"A CHARMING BARN CONVERSION IN THE HEART OF THIS POPULAR VILLAGE WITH ATTRACTIVE OUTLOOK

This attractive stone barn, formerly part of the Castle Ashby Estate was converted in 1984 and has been within the hands of the current family for twenty two years. Constructed of stone under a slate roof it enjoys a wonderful position in the heart of this popular village and bordering a grass paddock with attractive village views.

Lower Barn is a real lifestyle property offering great space for entertaining family and friends both internally and externally within the attractive south facing rear garden. With the principal bedroom on the ground floor it is a barn that future proofs ones elder years and offers the perfect environment for relaxing and unwinding from the modern stresses of life.

As with all individual properties a viewing will be essential to fully appreciate all on offer.

Glazed front door opens into the vaulted Amtico tiled reception hall with staircase gently rising to the first floor with useful understairs cupboard and in the corner of the hall lies the cloakroom.

Double doors open to reveal the stunning vaulted sitting room enjoying a double aspect with French doors opening onto south facing seating dining terrace. The focal point of the room is the brick fireplace housing gas coal effect fire. Through the brick archway lies the dining area enjoying views across to the parish church out over the front drive.

The kitchen breakfast family room lies at the other end of the hall and also benefits from a double aspect and enjoying direct access into the wooden conservatory which enjoys wonderful views over the attractive landscaped rear garden.

The bespoke handmade kitchen is in oak with base and eye level units including matching dresser, display unit and central island with black granite work surface with inset De Dietrich induction hob. The green two ovened AGA has pride of place for cooking, drying and warming the room and supported by a NEFF combination oven. Other fitted appliances include full height Siemens fridge freezer, NEFF dishwasher and Tweeny waste disposal unit in one of the two stainless steel sinks.

The generous principal bedroom suite lies off the reception hall with built in wooden wardrobe and enjoying stunning views and direct access into the rear garden. An archway leads through to the ensuite bathroom with separate walk in shower and central vanity unit with useful range of cupboards.
