Stepping inside, you are greeted by a sense of light and openness that flows throughout the property. A stunning glass atrium forms the architectural centrepiece of the home, uniquely linking the original barn to the contemporary extension. This striking space not only celebrates the building’s character but also provides an additional living area flooded with natural light.
The impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area extends beyond the atrium, designed to create a luxurious environment ideal for day-to-day living and entertaining alike. The vaulted barn ceiling is fitted with three rain-sensitive Velux windows, hile discreet in-ceiling speakers upstairs and downstairs bring music and media throughout. With CAT6 data networking integrated across the entire house and landscaped gardens, connectivity is exceptional in every corner.
The kitchen itself has been completed to a superior standard, featuring Corian worktops, a full suite of integrated high-end appliances—including a double cooker, microwave, warming drawer, fridge/freezer and wine fridge—and ample preparation and storage space. Striking bi-folding doors open to create seamless inside-out living, where the internal marble flooring continues directly onto the substantial outdoor patio, blurring the boundary between home and garden and forming a magnificent space for al fresco dining and social gatherings.
Both the ground and first floors benefit from air source underfloor heating, individually zoned and operated by remote thermostats, ensuring exceptional comfort and energy efficiency throughout. The attention to detail continues on the first floor, where each room is beautifully finished, including TVs in the upstairs bathrooms and further integrated ceiling speakers.
