DESCRIPTION
A well presented freehold family house with the added benefit of two excellently equipped stone barns which our clients have holiday let with great success at a five star rating over the past 11 years or so. The income for 2009/2010 was circa £50,000 however there is great potential for an incoming purchaser to further increase revenue as the barns are currently only let at weekends. The properties are set in gardens and grounds with some woodland offering the opportunity for those wishing to keep livestock and have a ‘hobby farm’ or merely land to go with the holiday cottages. Our clients have also installed a 15KW wind turbine which provides some of their electricity for the house and barns and aids them with their desire to offer a sustainable approach to tourism to which end they were awarded a Silver award in 2007 from the Green Tourism Business Scheme and have just received notification that they have now achieved the Gold award. The property is approached down a private track leading to a car park for the barns and round to a cobbled courtyard with the house in front of you and the two barns to either side of the house. A porch leads to the front door of the house and into the entrance hall which has a large study/sitting room to the left with fireplace and a window overlooking the courtyard and to the right a double reception room with a decent dining area and comfortable sitting area with large wood burning stove. To the rear of the entrance hall a door leads into the kitchen/breakfast room with a two oven, oil fired Alpha set within a stone fireplace and a range of built in wall and base units. Off one side of the kitchen is a utility room and cloakroom with w.c whilst to the other side a door leads into a conservatory with door to the garden. To the first floor is the master suite comprising of bedroom, large dressing room and bathroom, there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the rear of the house are the gardens which are mainly laid to lawn with two spring fed ponds and are planted with a variety of shrubs and trees. There is also a hot tub situated on the terrace at the rear of the house and a useful summer house/office. Adjacent to the smaller barn is a substantial modern building of which approximately two thirds is designated as a workshop/garage/store with two large storage areas to the first floor. The remaining third is a large games room with cloakroom to the ground floor with a playroom upstairs. To the end of the smaller barn (The Stables) is a further home office with separate store room for all the requirements of the holiday barns. The Stables is a single storey stone barn and comprises a sitting/dining room with fitted open plan kitchen and wood burning stove, a twin bedroom, double bedroom and bathroom. The Stables has a wealth of original features including exposed beams and stone walls. It is a very comfortable cottage which sleeps up to four people and a baby. The Barn across the courtyard is a substantial two storey stone barn arranged with a large entrance hall leading into a dramatic double height sitting room with wood burning stove and lots of light coming in through windows at both the lower and higher levels. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of wall and base units and all appliances as required for holiday letting. Adjacent to the kitchen is a double bedroom with walk-in wet room thus providing good accommodation for the disabled. At the end of the hall is a large dining room with the capacity to seat all guests if both units are taken together. The top of the dining table can be removed to reveal a slate bed pool table. Off the dining room is a small kitchenette and cloakroom. To the first floor is a good sized triple bedroom/family room with en suite bathroom and three further double bedrooms all with en suite shower rooms. The Barn has great character with lots of original features including stone floors, exposed beams and stonework and offers excellent accommodation to sleep up to eleven people and a baby. Our suggestion to get a better feel for the barns would be to visit our client’s own website www.hmbarns.co.uk which gives a wide insight into the properties together with a good selection of photographs.
