"The Property
Crosshands Barn was converted a number of years ago and much thought and emphasis were given to the size of rooms, ceiling height and window space resulting in a light interior. There are stone and wood floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed roof trusses, and exposed stone and brick walls.

The interior is very attractive. The reception dining hall is particularly striking with two arched windows and an open tread oak staircase with steel balustrade rises to the first floor. The sitting room is atmospheric and well proportioned, with a heavily beamed ceiling in light oak, a log burning stove is fitted in a brick fireplace and full height windows open to the garden with a lovely view across to the paddock. The superb farmhouse style breakfast kitchen has a vaulted ceiling and exposed roof trusses. Integrated appliances include a range cooker and dishwasher and there is a central island with breakfast bar and separate breakfast area. A room on the ground floor currently used as a bedroom, could easily provide a family room with an adjoining study.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is a lovely room with vaulted ceiling, and a large window overlooks the garden and paddock. There are three further bedrooms and family bath shower room.

Outside
A gravel entrance drive sweeps around to the front door providing parking. There is dense hedgerow around the boundaries and a central bed is planted with a variety of mature shrubs, ornamental trees and roses.

The drive continues past the house to the west through a gated entrance giving access to the rear garden, paddock, and a detached substantially built full height concrete block outbuilding with part stone faced elevations, with three sets of double entrance doors. Windows are installed and there is power and light. This building has the potential for use as stables, home office, annexe or gym, subject to any necessary planning consents.

The immediate rear garden is laid to lawn interspersed with shrubs and trees. A paved area, secluded by tall mature trees, is ideal for entertaining. The paddock adjoins the garden and there are lovely open views across to countryside. In all the property amounts to approx 2.82 acres.
