Description

Willoughby Barn occupies a delightful 0.68 acre plot within a small development of just 6 houses to the end of a private close and offers almost 2500sq ft of accommodation across two storeys. There are five bedrooms in total, two of which are ensuite and two further bathrooms, all of which are fitted with high quality Porcelanosa tiles. The living accommodation briefly comprises a large sitting room with dining area and a contemporary kitchen diner. Ample parking is available to the front of the property via the driveway and single garage.

Accommodation
The stable door to the front aspect leads into an impressive entrance hall with a full wall of windows over looking the garden, a vaulted ceiling up to the galleried landing and engineered oak flooring.

Off the entrance hall to the left hand side sits the contemporary, open plan kitchen diner. The kitchen has been recently replaced with a Richfield Interiors kitchen, incorporating a range of grey base and wall units with quartz work surfaces and a central island featuring a breakfast bar and two wine coolers. Integral appliances within the kitchen include an electric oven and grill, dishwasher, a large American style fridge freezer and an inset stainless steel sink. There is a well-proportioned dining area within the kitchen which also grants access to a cloaks cupboard and the integral garage. A utility room is accessible via the kitchen and provides further base and wall storage, a tall larder style cupboard, a secondary sink, shelving and space for additional appliances.

Double doors lead from the entrance hall into the very spacious sitting room which spans some 28ft in length and enjoys a dual aspect view with partially vaulted ceilings. There are two sets of French doors out, one to the front patio and one to the rear. A feature fireplace is the focal point of the room, with a more formal dining space to the rear of the room, with its own double doors from the entrance hall.

A ground floor bedroom neighbours the sitting room, benefiting fitted wardrobes and desk, alongside a set of French doors leading out to the rear patio. A shower room neighbours this bedroom and is fitted with a pedestal wash hand basin, large shower enclosure and a low level WC.

Stairs ascend from the entrance hall to a first floor galleried landing and onto the bedroom accommodation at this level. The principal bedroom sits to the west elevation, featuring a triangular picture window to the front of the property, enjoying far reaching countryside views, alongside a modern, four-piece en suite bathroom, holding a corner jacuzzi bath, pedestal wash hand basin, a low level WC and an open sided shower enclosure.

Two of the double bedrooms are situated to the rear elevation and make use of the family bathroom which is half height tiled with a fitted bath, low level WC and pedestal wash hand basin. The final bedroom at this level is to the front of the property, with a pair of velux windows and a three-piece en suite shower room.
