Description

There are four homes in total, set around a courtyard and behind a private entrance. Barns 2, 3 and 4 are single storey, whilst benefiting from exposed timber beams and open vaulted ceilings. Barn 1 benefits from an additional room that could be used as a guest room or office.

The careful use and integration of original materials, where possible to do so, has resulted a combination of rural charm alongside the convenience of modern specification and cost saving benefits of increased energy efficiency.

Each property offers a high specification and modern finish, whilst blending stunning features and incorporating traditional materials throughout.

Barns 1 (three/four bedrooms) and 3 (three bedrooms) offer the most significant internal space with substantial open plan kitchen, dining and reception rooms.

Barns 2 and 4 are both two bedroom homes. All barns are fitted with a modern shaker style kitchen and white marble effect quartz (wood to Barn 2) worktops and splash backs (wood to Barn 2) in an open plan kitchen that is punctuated by a central island to separate cooking and living whilst encouraging family time and entertainment.

The central island incorporates a black dual lever mixer tap and underslung sink. A Siemens oven and second oven with microwave and Caple integrated fridge freezer (Barn 3 has separate fridge and freezer) and dishwasher are complemented by a Siemens ceramic induction hob and extractor.

Wood effect amtico flooring is laid either in an attractive herringbone (Barns 2 & 4) or straight (Barns 1 & 3) formation with a border throughout the living areas and hallways, turning into carpet to bedrooms and porcelain tiles to bathrooms.

The properties utilize underfloor heating throughout and electric boilers. Oak finished Suffolk style internal doors are highlighted by white frames and skirting boards, whilst external doors are black, in keeping with the traditional timber dark weather boarded cladding.

A set of double French doors from each kitchen / living room open out onto a private patio and garden, allowing an ingress of natural light alongside the combination of side and Velux windows throughout the properties.

The central courtyard has been carefully landscaped with acknowledgement of its former rural use as a farmyard, whilst also incorporating hard standing for 2 allocated parking spaces for each dwelling.
