FULL DESCRIPTION Available now is this stunning four-bedroom, Grade II listed Barn Conversion with uninterrupted Countryside Views and impressive rear garden. Without the character of the three-storey home being compromised, the property has gone through extensive redevelopment remodelled by an RIBA Architect to offer the perfect contrast of modern and rustic living.
The barn is situated on the outskirts of Lichfield, just 15 minutes' drive, which is a vibrant and historic city known for its stunning Cathedral, independent stores and some of the greatest restaurants in Staffordshire. Also offering easy access to major roads with commuting to Birmingham being around 20 minutes and London around an hour.
Built in the early 1800s, their linear form is a heritage statement and is fully deserving of its listed status. There are only 6 barns situated in the small residential development which gives it a much more exclusive feel and being situated on a small country lane in between Wigginton and Harlaston, allows for complete peace and tranquillity.
As you enter the barn, you are met with a good-sized entrance hall and a utility room with plenty of space for storage to avoid distracting your guests from the floor to ceiling windows that flood the hall with natural light. This leads you through to the main hub of the house, which is a 10-metre-long kitchen and lounge/ diner offering flagstone flooring, floor to ceiling windows in the living area and double doors leading onto the extensive rear garden. On the ground floor you'll also find a guest cloakroom, W/C and utility cupboard which houses the washing machine. The kitchen has an American Style fridge freezer, shaker door fronts, kitchen island and an Oak worktop which is over 8m in length, making this ideal for entertaining. Further benefitting from Neff induction hob and Bosch oven for those that love to cook.
With 100% pure wool Cormar Tungsten carpet throughout, giving a softness that is cushioning, fibres that are fully hypoallergenic and overall, a natural and sustainable product which was made in the UK. The first floor comprises of a dual aspect living room with views over two sets of countryside. There is also the bonus of an office nook or reading corner which offers great versatility. There are two sets of storage cupboards on the first floor. A large and modern family bathroom with bath & shower, a large main bedroom with walk-in and en-suite, all offering a classic mid-century interior feel which works beautifully against the original exposed brick, offering a true character design.
Finally on the third floor, there are 2 double bedrooms and 1 single bedroom or office. All with exposed beams painted in a mid-century white that gives awe to the original structure. Each of the beams have feature light strips to help them stand out as key elements in the room. Lastly, all bedrooms have stunning, sought-after views over fields and forests which are visible through skylights that offer a more natural light.
The rear garden is over 35 metres long and 10 metres wide with a large deck nearest the house and lawn to rear. There's a large shed, greenhouse and large raised beds for those that like to grow their own vegetables. The garden also includes apple trees, a large plum tree, raspberry, blackberry and gooseberry bushes too.
All in all this property will make a beautiful home and with so many of us searching for a true rural property situated close to amenities with countryside views, we don't believe this will be on the market for long.
