A beautifully maintained handsome barn conversion, set on a small, quiet development in the sought-after village of Polebrook.

The Property

Located in the sought-after village of Polebrook this beautifully maintained Grade II listed barn conversion, sympathetically converted in 1992 by a highly regarded local builder. Originally forming part of the Highfields Farm buildings on the Ashton Estate, the property is situated within an exclusive and peaceful private development comprising just eight homes, including the original farmhouse, a selection of barn conversions and a small number of individual new-build properties.

Constructed of attractive stone beneath a Welsh slate roof, this handsome home seamlessly blends period character with modern comforts. The property offers four bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite with an en-suite shower room, together with a well-appointed family bathroom. Throughout the home, high and vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and an abundance of natural light create a wonderful sense of space and character.

A welcoming and spacious entrance hall with a stone tiled floor, which continues through to the kitchen/breakfast room, provides an impressive first impression. A unique feature of the property is the two separate staircases. The staircase to the left leads to the dual-aspect principal bedroom, complete with a generous en-suite shower room and an excellent range of fitted wardrobes. The staircase to the right serves the remaining three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with one of the bedrooms currently utilised as a home office.

On the ground floor, the dual-aspect sitting room is a particularly inviting space, featuring a wood-burning stove as its focal point. The separate dining room enjoys French doors opening directly onto the patio, creating an ideal setting for entertaining and family gatherings.

The recently refitted kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of shaker-style cabinetry and stone tiled flooring. A door provides direct access to the garden, while a separate utility room offers additional practicality. A cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Outside
The property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking, complemented by gravelled and lawned areas. A detached double garage benefits from a single electric up-and-over door together with useful storage space above.
The mature gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped with well-stocked herbaceous borders, areas of lawn and an attractive patio, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. A side entrance gives convenient access to the garage.
