Description A single storey Cotswold stone barn conversion occupying a secluded position within the sought after North Cotswold village of Blockley. Accessed via its own driveway and sitting within a plot extending to just over an acre, the property enjoys stunning views across neighbouring countryside and benefits from current planning permission to extend
Entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, garden room, master bedroom with en-suite, two further bedrooms (one with an en-suite), bathroom, office/summer house, office/studio, triple bay garage, enclosed courtyard to rear, manicured garden and orchard and parking for multiple vehicles. Total plot extending to approximately 1 acre.

Burgred Barn is a single storey stable barn conversion that was once part of a working farm and is now blessed with over an acre of garden and orientated to enjoy the most beautiful views over the surrounding hills and magnificent Cotswold countryside.

?When we found the property in 2004,? explains the current owner, ?we could immediately see it as a place to create a wonderful family life. This house allows us to connect fully with nature and the outside world in all seasons. Everyone who comes to the door says the same thing ? ?Look at the view!??

All arranged on one level, the original conversion was both intelligent and empathetic, ensuring that the structure and rough, honest materials of the eighteenth century barn were left on view, such as the exposed herringbone brickwork, a beamed ?A? frame in a plaster wall, a tiny stone alcove above a sink and a soaring roof space.

Throughout the property is the same stamp of simple, understated luxury. With a stunning kitchen/ breakfast room and garden room, wide internal halls, a large vaulted family lounge and three double bedrooms (each served with bathroom/shower room) the whole building functions perfectly as a free-flow of 2,500 square feet of pleasurably light-filled, beautiful, airy living spaces. Whilst they current owners have secured planning permission to extend, they have never felt it necessary to take up [planning ref 09/00561/FUL & 12/02108/FUL).

They did not stop at creating a wonderful interior but commissioned Rupert and Nick Williams-Ellis (also residents in the same village) to design and build an equally stunning landscaped exterior, making the most of the broad, long and gently sloping grounds. The property is now approached by an immaculate gated and gravelled driveway, with plenty of parking and turning space leading to a three bay timber garage. Stretching out beyond is a series of interconnected garden spaces, each of different character and function including the hidden orchard, a delightful secret garden complete with a large sweet chestnut tree framing views towards the distant hills, generously planted with walnut, plum, apple, damson, and quince trees.

Whilst Burgred Barn has all the prerequisite ingredients for a happy family life, it is suited to a wide number of potential purchasers. Given the luxury of single storey accommodation and the surprising ease of garden maintenance, it would be just as suited to a retired couple or equally as a second home / holiday let investment.
