A wonderful opportunity to purchase this stunning converted and extended Grade II Listed barn, finished to an exacting standard by a local, well regarded builder in 2013. The barn was painstakingly converted and thoughtfully extended to create a spacious individual home of considerable style and distinction, combining period features with a modern, contemporary finish further enhanced by the use of high specification, quality fixtures and fittings.
The accommodation comprises a striking open plan fitted kitchen/dining room with a concealed utility area, part divided by a contemporary oak tread metal staircase rising to a wide mezzanine galleried landing above with a full height timbered vaulted ceiling and exposed historical oak framework. A feature living room frames a panoramic view over the wildlife pond and gardens. A downstairs cloakroom/wc and a generous double bedroom with a stunning en-suite bathroom completes the ground floor. Two further double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms either end of the first floor mezzanine galleried landing complete the accommodation.
The barn enjoys a private location tucked away in the corner of an exclusive established Close on the western outskirts of Stevenage with the added security of an automated gated entrance and parking for at least three vehicles with a generous private rear garden in excess of 100ft with the added feature of a substantial wildlife pond.
LOCATION Conveniently situated within easy reach of both the historic Old Town and the New Town with the benefit of the mainline railway station with a direct link to Kings Cross of approximately 23 minutes and easy access to the A1 motorway.
