Description
Real attention to detail has been lavished upon the conversion of this week's property, The Barn at Willow Tree Farm.
Sitting on a plot of approx 2 acres, the house enjoys unspoilt views from its many rooms across open countryside, has solar panels on the roof to heat the water, a security alarm and under-floor heating on both ground and first floor levels.
There's plenty of barn charm as well with high shaped ceilings and wooden beams complemented by solid oak doors, skirting boards, architraves and handmade windows, perfectly matched with contemporary touches such as being wired for surround sound downstairs, and having modern bathroom and shower suites.
Its size is impressive, the living accommodation being light and spacious with magnificent views and all being very flexible in terms of use, while outside the grounds are suitable as paddocks with various patio areas creating fantastic entertaining spots.
"The grounds are fully fenced using good quality timber; there's gated access to the extensive gravel driveway with plenty of off-road parking, and a range of mature trees to one side with approximately 100 additional trees planted recently around the perimeter, which will become established over time," said the owners.
"There's a paddock to the front and rear of the property, three owl boxes which do attract owls, and a detached garage/workshop with power and light."
Patio areas are generous and lead off from different rooms to the south-facing front aspect, and rear elevation, creating secluded spots from where to enjoy the accompanying grounds and open fields that stretch out beyond.
The location of The Barn is another plus-point, situated in a spot that feels very rural while being just minutes from the A16 and A17.
"Spalding, Boston, Sleaford & Norfolk are all easily accessed from here, while a drive of around 35-minutes brings you to Peterborough where rail links to London are available, so there are no issues with travel.
"On the other hand there's a bank at the bottom of the road that runs all the way through to Gosberton providing a circle-walk for people who enjoy walking, so it's has the best of both worlds really."
The current owners bought the barn in its pre-converted state and what they have achieved since then is simply stunning, that high standard instantly apparent from the moment you reach the entrance gates.
All the oak features feel very much in keeping with the barn's style, and the large windows really frame the unspoilt views. The entrance porch is no exception with its half-glazed door, stone floor tiles, and further half-glazed door into the large utility. Natural light is another re-occurring feature with many rooms having dual aspect views, the utility also looking out to the rear elevation and being equipped with the same stone tiled flooring, integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, Belfast sink, various light-coloured units and oak worktops.
Access from here can be made into a modern downstairs shower room, the suite including shower cubicle, toilet, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.
Views from the kitchen are equally impressive with two windows looking out over the rear aspect, doors and windows to the front taking in the south-facing patio, grounds and open fields beyond. The stone tiled floor flows through, there are exposed ceiling beams, range of storage cupboards, fitted double oven and hob, integrated dishwasher, and lots of room for a table and chairs, with a fitment in place containing a drainage system for anyone who might wish to add a central island unit.
From here the dining hall is revealed, a very impressive room with stunning floor to ceiling windows on one side, feature oak staircase to the first floor, oak flooring, exposed brick wall and ceiling beams, plus lots of living space.
The separate dining room has the same oak flooring, windows to the rear, exposed ceiling beams and access to its own patio area.
"Every room is individually heated with its own zone controls."
The living room is a little different again in that it has doors to two south-facing patio areas and a cast iron log burner with oak mantle set within an exposed brick fireplace, in addition to exposed ceiling beams and oak floor.
Taking the solid oak staircase in the dining hall to the first floor reveals three bedrooms, all of which benefit from en suite facilities, feel lovely and light with vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and different viewpoints.
The master bedroom has an exposed brick feature wall and two sky lights, in addition to a luxury en suite containing Jacuzzi bath, double shower cubicle, double wash basin and toilet.
Bedroom two has an en suite bathroom, while the third bedroom has en suite shower facilities, and there's an airing cupboard on the landing with shelving.
The size of this property has to be seen to be fully appreciated, with a further wing available providing additional space and untold possibilities including the potential to create an annexe.
Also accessed from the utility, this part of the barn contains a sitting room with south-facing garden views and patio doors, and a well-equipped L-shaped study with rear aspect views, fitted shelves and office furniture, internet and telephone points.
There's also a large ground floor bedroom with dual aspect views and cupboard containing the oil-fired boiler, plus en suite bathroom with toilet, wash hand basin, and bath with shower overhead.
Internal access can also be made into the generously sized double garage with two sets of oak doors to the front and, being equipped with water, power and drainage, offering further potential for living accommodation use.
Impressive features throughout, The Barn has one final surprise up its sleeve in the form of a large room above the double garage and ground floor bedroom. With windows to the front and rear aspects complemented by five sky lights, mains drainage, hot and cold water available, this room is open to interpretation from bedrooms with en suites, to a play or games room.
The Barn is simply stunning, bursting with charm and character while enjoying a contemporary feel throughout. Its rooms are flexible, spacious and welcoming, while the accompanying grounds are equally appealing.
