"DESCRIPTION
Orchard Barn is a substantial and beautifully presented five bedroom detached period barn conversion, offering over 2,500 sq ft of characterful accommodation. Set towards the end of a highly sought after no through lane, the property enjoys a peaceful position backing directly onto the village s expansive Millennium Green.

Believed to date back to circa 1780, the barn was thoughtfully converted into a spacious family home in the late 1980s. It has been cherished by the current owners since 1993 and now presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and historic home in one of the village s most desirable locations.

The ground floor features a well appointed farmhouse style kitchen breakfast room with a brick fireplace and fitted Aga, complemented by a separate utility room. Three versatile reception rooms include a stunning 35 foot, double aspect living family room at the heart of the home, complete with a large stone Inglenook fireplace, cast iron log burning stove, and bi fold doors opening onto a south facing sun terrace. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from an en suite bathroom. Four additional double bedrooms enjoy open views across the Millennium Green and are served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room.

The front of the property offers two driveways with ample parking, one of which leads to a detached stone built garage with excellent ceiling height ideal for conversion into a garden studio or annexe subject to planning . The mature, south facing rear and side gardens are beautifully landscaped and include espalier fruit trees, soft fruit bushes, a productive vegetable patch, and a greenhouse. Several private, well screened seating areas provide tranquil outdoor living, with a gate offering direct access to the Millennium Green, home to a community orchard, a ring of walnut trees, and a small cherry orchard.

In summary, Orchard Barn is a distinctive and spacious family home full of charm and character, set in a delightful village location. Internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this exceptional property has to offer.
