DESCRIPTION
Manor Barn has been converted into a delightful family house from a range of pretty, period outbuildings, one of which is attached to part of the rear and has been retained by the neighbouring farmhouse for garaging. The property now offers unusually light and bright accommodation with a very open feel. Many of the original materials are exposed in places, including brick, stone and timber framing, which gives Manor Barn a great deal of its character. The property benefits from a good degree of privacy without being isolated.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a long driveway flanked by a small paddock area and a garden with various specimen trees. From here there are timber double gates opening on to a courtyard providing parking space for numerous vehicles and leading to a large garage building with workshop area and a room above, accessed via an internal staircase.

Running around two sides of the garage is a pretty terrace, paved partly in brick and flagstones, which leads onto a kitchen garden area with a central greenhouse. Beyond this area is a good sized area of lawn, again, planted with various specimen trees and numerous terrace areas adjoining the property. In total the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.7 acres.
