General Information
The Property
Situated in the peaceful village of Milton, this beautifully presented barn has been thoughtfully upgraded and remodeled by its current owners over the past ten years, with no expense spared. It is a much-loved, cosy home filled with character and charm, featuring a modern heating system equipped with a air-source heat pump.
The Dovecote, which has been carefully renovated, sits proudly atop of the barn.
The interior accommodations are arranged over three floors, offering flexible living options, including the possibility of two ground-floor bedrooms or a playroom/study, a shower room, and an attractively fitted kitchen, living, and dining area with its own access door to the front.
Upon entering the barn, you are welcomed into an entrance hall that features a useful boot cupboard, stairs leading to the first floor, and doors opening to the kitchen and study/reading area. The study/reading room is a lovely space for quiet relaxation or study and opens into the charming sitting room. The sitting room boasts lovely neutral décor, bespoke shelving within the chimney breast, and an electric log-style burner resting on a raised brick hearth.
The impressive kitchen and dining area provide a fantastic space for entertaining. This room features a high ceiling with light flooding in through the windows and bi-fold doors that offer views of three sides of the garden. The bespoke kitchen is built with oak and includes natural and painted oak units complemented by attractive walnut countertops that house a Belfast sink. It is equipped with a range cooker, a built-in dishwasher, a double fridge, and a double freezer. This space offers ample room for a dining table and chairs, along with a useful cupboard that accommodates both a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
A door from the kitchen leads to the annex area, where you will find two bedrooms along with a ground-floor shower room. The final door opens into a superb open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area with its own entrance door, showcasing a stunning exposed stone wall and fitted with modern kitchen units and appliances.
On the first floor, you will discover the principal bedroom, which features windows on both the front and rear aspects, built-in his-and-hers wardrobes, and an attractive ensuite bathroom that includes a bath, wash basin, and W.C. Additionally, there is a bespoke oak wall-mounted vanity unit and walls are adorned with period-style subway tiles.
The second floor opens into a spacious guest bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and a superbly presented shower room, which features attractive subway-tiled walls, a shower, wash hand basin, and W.C.
OUTSIDE
The barn is located within a small courtyard development formed from the original Brook Farm. To the front, there is lateral parking for several vehicles, with additional parking available in a communal area at the bottom of the development.
The rear gardens are delightful, featuring a large terrace ideal for entertaining, a lawn, mature trees and shrubs, and space for sheds and a greenhouse.
