With an attractive façade, featuring tile hung and red brick elevations and distinctive chimney stacks, this appealing farmhouse has origins believed to date to the 16th century. Inside, exposed brickwork, historic timbers and vintage fireplaces, all reference bygone days, whilst interior updates for 21st century living sit agreeably alongside.

Beyond the timeless front door, a vestibule gives access to two reception rooms, both of which enjoy the warming ambience of log-burners. A step change leads into the kitchen, which is centred around a sunshine yellow Aga and is fitted with panelled white cabinetry and Corian surfaces. Extending to the side, a generously proportioned utility room, with back door entry, offers an excellent boot room and laundry space, along with the convenience of a shower room. Two further flexible-use, ground floor rooms, currently present as a study and a library, with the first floor comprising three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a cloakroom facility.

Creating a highlight, and a more recent addition, is a stunning garden room which is reached via a timber and glass walkway. With windows to three aspects, this light-filled recreation room showcases its craftsmanship with a vaulted ceiling and exposed rafters and offers a serene spot to relax and take in views.

This property has 25.4 acres of land.

Outside

The revitalization continues in the converted, timber clad barn, which comprises two rooms, a modern shower room and cloakroom, providing a guest retreat or an income stream.

The grounds are pleasantly landscaped and well-maintained, with swathes of lawn, pretty planted beds, designated cultivation zones and solar panels. Paved terracing adjoins the house and barn accommodation offering opportunities for al fresco dining and relaxation, with far reaching views to enjoy.

Beautiful, scenic fields surround the property together with an enchanting wooded area. Extending from the highway to the frontage, triple garage and hard-standing, a lengthy private lane ensures Barton Farm retains the seclusion of a tucked-away setting nestled in picturesque landscape.
