Grey Barn, Byfield

Grey Barn is in immaculate condition throughout and the current owners have made numerous improvements to the property throughout their ownership including the addition of a Stovax wood-burning stove and fitted bookshelves and storage in the kitchen / sitting area as well as building a separate office wing which could easily become a one bedroom annexe, alongside a double carport and storage room. Ground-floor underfloor heating and hot water are supplied by an air-source heat pump.

The entrance hall features Mandarin Stone flooring and a bespoke oak and glass staircase with LED lighting leading to the first floor which benefits from a beautiful galleried landing. Off the main hallway you’ll find four double bedrooms, all ensuite, alongside a guest cloakroom and separate utility room with access to the garden – perfect for storing muddy wellies after a walk across the nearby fields.

The bespoke kitchen includes fitted units and a large island with breakfast bar with marbled quartz surfaces. There is a separate reception room accessed off the kitchen which is currently divided into two rooms – a cinema room and a playroom. Both enjoy views over the countryside surrounding Grey Barn.

The kitchen / breakfast / sitting room is outstanding – it’s a double-height, vaulted room that measures over 40 ft by 30 ft and is filled with natural light from rooflights and large windows overlooking the gardens and countryside beyond.

There are four double bedrooms on the ground floor, all with high spec en-suite shower or bathrooms. The principal bedroom is on the first floor and is sensational with walk-in dressing room, en-suite bathroom with separate shower and a large sitting room looking over the galleried landing.

The plot itself sits at around one acre and benefits from a private long driveway positioning the property back from the road and offering an incredible level of privacy. The gardens, which are predominantly laid to lawn, surround the property.

There is access to two patio areas, one of which benefits from an impressive BBQ / outdoor seating area. To truly appreciate this incredible home, viewing is advised.
