Orchard View, Stockwell Lane, Little Meadle, HP17

An 18th century three/four bedroom barn conversion in a rural position with views over open fields, a double garage/gym, a hobby room/studio.

This stunning barn dates from the 1700s and has been the subject of a complete refurbishment and remodelling programme in the last few years providing a blend of character and contemporary accommodation. The impressive 33’ open plan vaulted dining hall and partially vaulted kitchen/breakfast room features Shaker style units with quartz work surfaces, integrated appliances, a breakfast bar, exposed beams, porcelain tiled floor (with under floor heating) and bi-fold doors to one end, perfect for entertaining. The utility room leads off the Kitchen and features matching units and quartz work surfaces with space for white goods. The dual aspect sitting room features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a brick fireplace inset with wood burning stove and glazed double doors out to the garden. The vaulted study with oak flooring overlooks the rear courtyard with a door out to the patio. The master bedroom with en-suite shower room has lovely views of the garden and paddock land beyond to the front. A contemporary glass and oak staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing with wonderful views over paddock land to the front. Two further bedrooms (both dual aspect) with Velux windows to the front and rear feature a range of built-in storage. The family bathroom is fitted with a freestanding roll top bath and shower cubicle.
