Description

This beautiful Grade II Listed barn is believed to be over 400 years old and has recently undergone a stunning refurbishment, bringing together traditional and contemporary styles with high specification fittings. The original beams have been taken back to their original warm natural colour, which blends beautifully with the modern solid oak staircase, fittings and doors. The property has a new underfloor heating system throughout the ground floor and there is a modern log burner in the Sitting Room, which stands on a marble floor. The accommodation offers two or three double bedrooms, depending on your needs and a very ‘high spec’ fitted kitchen. The rooms have oak beams and skirtings and there are plenty of electric sockets and LED lights. The doors have attractive pewter effect furnishings and each room has separate heating controls. All windows are double glazed and the heating is by means of Calor Gas. Little Hawkenbury Barn has high ceilings, apart from the side eaves areas in the bedrooms and laundry room. Externally there is a paved patio, leading to a pebbled and lawned area close to the barn. This is fully fenced for the safety of children and pets. A gate leads to the driveway. This leads on to a fully fenced field which is approximately one third of an acre. At one end of this field, there is planning permission in place for a double garage with accommodation above, to be erected. (Initial plans can be seen upon request).
