Description

"An extremely versatile detached family house in a lovely rural location with over 3300 sq ft of accommodation, west facing gardens and panoramic countryside views.

The Dwelling Firefly Barn is a spacious detached house believed to have been converted in the 1990s from an original 1840s dairy barn. The house offers superb internal accommodation of over 3300 sq ft and retains many original character features such as exposed beams and timbers and stone floors. The large hall is open to full height with flagstone floor and could work very well as a dining hall, the sitting room is a stunning room with an open fire, exposed ceiling beams and a dual aspect. The kitchen dining room at nearly 30 is a wonderful room with underfloor heating at the garden end, an Aga and bi fold doors opening out to the lovely garden and terrace as well as making the most of the fantastic views over the neighbouring fields and enjoying superb sunsets. Off the hall is a study and garden room and there are two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

On the first floor there is a galleried landing with ample storage, bedroom 4, and a dual aspect 20 master bedroom with fantastic far reaching views and sumptuous ensuite bathroom.

Beyond the kitchen there is a utility laundry room and cloakroom. A spiral staircase leads to bedroom 5 with an ensuite shower room.

Outside a separate detached barn comprises a double car port, garage work shop and mower shed. Stairs from the garage lead to a 30 first floor, currently excellent storage but with tremendous potential for additional accommodation or home office, subject to any necessary consents.
