Description

Set in an enviable rural position in Venton, this exceptional Class Q barn conversion presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual country home, combining the proportions of an agricultural building with contemporary single storey living.

The proposed accommodation extends to approximately 150 sq m (1,615 sq ft) and is designed around an impressive open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, making the most of the property's wonderful rural outlook. Large openings and bi-fold doors create a seamless connection between the interior and the landscaped garden, allowing the surrounding countryside to become an integral part of the home. The accommodation will provide four bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite) with the layout offering considerable flexibility for family living, guests or home working. The specification and internal finishes can be tailored to the purchaser's requirements, subject to agreement, with choices including the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and other finishing details.

Outside, the property enjoys approximately 5 acres of land, offering an exceptional degree of privacy and space together with potential for equestrian use, subject to any necessary consents. The landscaped garden is designed to provide an attractive setting immediately adjoining the house, with the wider land extending into the surrounding rural landscape. A substantial detached triple garage provides excellent garaging, storage and workshop space, with the added benefit of a room above, offering further potential for a home office, studio, gym or other ancillary use, subject to the necessary permissions.

Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the property is conveniently located for access to nearby villages, towns and the wider road network, making it possible to enjoy a genuinely rural lifestyle without feeling isolated.

This is an exciting opportunity to acquire a bespoke rural home and comes complete with a 10 year warranty.
