The four-bedroom property sits on a relatively level site away from near neighbours providing considerable privacy and seclusion, along with superb views over the open countryside.
The impressive country home, named Egremont Cross Barn, was converted from an original agricultural barn some years ago and more recently it has benefitted from a ground floor extension which has introduced a lovely large open-plan living space.
Considerable care has been taken to create a bright and light environment with partial vaulted ceilings and generous openings including bi-folding patio doors leading off the sitting area. There are also several contemporary influences such as partial underfloor heating and an air conditioning system.
Inside, the property has been configured and orientated to capitalise on the splendid rural views with most openings having an outlook over the paddock and adjoining countryside.
On the ground floor, the large open-plan reception hall flows into the spacious kitchen/living room that has a vaulted ceiling and is flooded with natural light. This welcoming environment has a wood-burning stove and a bespoke kitchen with composite work surfaces. At the centre of the house, there is an internal reception room currently arranged as a cosy snug but could work well as a home cinema room. Two bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room, and a family bathroom complete this level.
On the first floor, there are two further bedrooms, with the principal bedroom having a smart ensuite shower room.
Outside, the gardens lie to the side and rear of the house with a paved patio strategically placed to capitalise on the surrounding views. There is a separate paddock enclosure extending to approximately one acre with a field shelter.
At the front, automated Barton-style gates open to a large tarmac parking and turning area.
