An exquisite, impeccably refurbished Grade II listed barn conversion on a small development of just 8 homes, the former stunning outbuildings of the adjacent Swettenham Hall, in a wonderful rural position at the end of a long private drive, enjoying fabulous far reaching views over the Dane Valley, and enjoying a share of about eight acres of paddocks, an all weather arena and a private timber stable block.

Originally converted in 1999, our client, the interior designer architect owner bought the house in 2018, and embarked on a back to brick restoration of the building which included completely redesigning the interior and an exquisite refit, the quality of which is seldom seen anywhere in the North West, and almost nowhere in the UK in a home at this price point. It is absolutely fantastic throughout, with exceptional attention to detail, beautiful decor, and the highest quality fittings in every space.

The house is Ideal as a downsize opportunity perhaps, suitable for those who understand what it takes to create this kind of quality, both in financial terms and the time and vision it takes to deliver, and for those with horses who would like less responsibility in a more community setting, where owners here help each other throughout the year.

Internally, the space is incredibly well designed and offers too much quality to fully describe here, and must genuinely be seen to be understood and appreciated.

The front entrance opens into a lobby, with cloakroom and wc, and a large formal dual aspect lounge has a stunning wide plank wooden floor and an elliptical venetian plaster finished staircase with a useful fitted office space. A second large lounge is located adjacent, again with a dual spect.

The wonderful open plan kitchen dining space, in a glass walled extension with a high vaulted ceiling enjoys the amazing views, and opens flush to the outside terrace. It is fitted with bespoke cabinetry throughout, including a large island and top of the range cooking and cooling appliances. A snug, used now as a games room, lies off the kitchen and has clever utility areas built in for washing and laundry facilities.

There are three all suite bedrooms enjoying amazing exposed timber work, the guest rooms are duplexes with lounges and bathrooms, and the master is simply stunning, with a walk through dressing area and a huge bathroom. The bathrooms are all finished with incredible contemporary quality.

Outside there are several areas of private landscaped gardens, and a driveway providing parking for three or four cars. A stunning modern terrace with glass balustrades overlooking the valley lies adjacent to the kitchen, there is a thatched Breeze House and an outdoor kitchen.

The development has eight homes, four barn conversions and four new build houses. There is a garage block for some of the houses, a private store room for all, and a range of timber stables and a tack room for the residents. There are several paddocks, and an all weather arena. The owners find the communal equestrian facilities a rare benefit, and we are told it works extremely well.
