" Exquisite four bedroom, three bathroom barn conversion forming part of a delightfully crafted select development of just five other dwellings, perfectly located in an elevated and tranquil location

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

Through the years I have had the pleasure of marketing various barn conversions, but this subject development of just six barns has always, in my mind, represented something of a gold standard. Converted, developed and crafted by Conran Homes in 2010, these barns are located in a superb positon, tranquil and elevated and surrounded by glorious open countryside, with great walks on the doorstep.

There is no greater tribute to this barn than the fact the present owners have lived in since newly converted, a little under fourteen years ago.

The aesthetics of this development are striking for their beauty and architectural merit and quite rightly, the development is protected by a Grade II Listed status.

The barns itself boast a range of features both inside and out. Of the six on the development, all of which are individual and unique, the subject property is one of the larger barns on the development and also the only one with four first floor double bedrooms. The internal appeal is significant, with a pleasing blend of refined contemporary quality and original features of the barn. There is also a really good head height and lots of natural light and delightful rural views from many angles.

I have a particular liking of the layout, with both open plan gathering spaces and separate reception rooms providing excellent levels of versatility.

Externally, there is lots to note. The south facing front terrace seating area enjoys splendid views over a large area of well tended lawn and towards the magnificent original hall, which is a building of great merit. To the rear there is a larger garden which is principaly laid to lawn, ideal for family life. The rear patio captures the sun all day and there is additionally a morning patio which is ideal for morning coffee or afternoon shade on the hotter days, when the UK climate delivers such a treat!

Despite its rural feel, the barn is just four miles from Tarporley and seven miles from Nantwich and for those with children, buses run from Alpraham to different primary and high schools, many of which enjoy a superb reputation.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office.
