Nestled away at the end of a quiet country lane in a picturesque rural setting, this stunning 16th Century Barn was thought to have been moved to it‘s current location in around 1870 and converted to the amazing property it is now in 1994.

With no immediate neighbours, Longdown Meadow enjoys a generous plot spanning approximately 2.3 acres. Surrounded by open farmland, the property and gardens feel extremely private and feature a beautiful, naturally fed wildlife pond, several mature trees and an expanse of lawn areas. A particular feature of the property is the ample parking; a sweeping driveway provides space for parking many vehicles as well as turning. There‘s a double open bay garage as well as secure garaging for at least four vehicles if required.

The Principle Dwelling has been lovingly converted and cared for over the years. Beautiful slate floors flow through the footprint of the original building whilst the garden Room addition(2009) hosts a more contemporary heated floor. A large entrance hall provides access to the front and rear of the property and features a beautiful oak staircase with galleried landing, whilst the vast drawing room hosts a handsome fireplace with log burning stove. The kitchen-dining room provides an excellent family hub and includes fitted appliances as well as an ‘Esse‘ oil fired double oven, complete with an electric double oven for the warmer months and/or added convenience - there‘s also a separate utility area with side access, ideal for pet owners, along with a cloakroom. Also on the ground floor, a fourth bedroom or study features patio doors and a lovely outlook towards the pond.

Upstairs there are three generous bedrooms straddling a sizeable landing with stunning views. Bedrooms two and Three are of a roughly equal size and share a wonderful playroom within the eave space as well as a modern shower room and a walk in wardrobe, (or possible computer area) accessed from the landing. The master bedroom is very large with an impressive vaulted ceiling, a seating area, an en suite bathroom and a separate wet room. A few steps lead down into a deceptively spacious eave space which is currently utilised as a ‘walk in wardrobe‘.
The property features oil fired central heating and a septic tank drainage system installed in 2015. There are double glazed windows throughout and mains fed electricity and water supplies.
