Description

Positioned in an elevated and idyllic setting, Doomsday Barn offers an exceptional blend of period charm and modern comfort. This beautifully converted barn enjoys far-reaching southerly views and occupies a generous total plot of approximately 1.37 acres, including a 0.56-acre paddock.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall with tiled flooring—an ideal space for greeting guests. From here, stairs rise to the first-floor mezzanine, while doors lead to the main ground floor accommodation, a family bathroom, and the rear courtyard. The bathroom is well-appointed with a bath and shower over, WC, basin, and heated towel rail.

Set off the entrance hall is the stunning kitchen/living room, a large and characterful space showcasing the barn's original features, including thick cob walls, exposed beams, and a corner wood burner. The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of base and wall units, wooden worksurfaces, and a central island topped with granite and offering storage below. Appliances include a Rangemaster electric oven with induction hob, boiling hot water tap, and plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher. The room easily accommodates a formal dining area alongside a comfortable sitting area, making it the heart of the home.

To the rear of the entrance hall are two spacious ground-floor double bedrooms, both with ample room for storage. One bedroom also features an understairs airing cupboard.

Upstairs, the first-floor mezzanine offers a bright and flexible living area currently used as an additional sitting room. With glass panels between the beams overlooking the living space below and Velux windows on both sides, this area is filled with natural light. It's an ideal retreat or could serve as an extension of the adjoining master bedroom, which benefits from a dual aspect and a stylish ensuite shower room with shower, WC, and basin.

The property sits within 0.81 acres of beautifully maintained gardens. The south-facing front garden features a raised, decked seating area beneath a large pergola—perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn and bordered by fencing and mature laurels. To the side is a generous Cotswold stone chipped driveway offering parking for multiple vehicles.

To the rear, a private courtyard enjoys open views of the surrounding countryside and serves as a suntrap with further stone chippings and secure fencing.
Across the shared driveway lies a 0.56-acre paddock, offering a range of potential uses. Currently featuring a greenhouse, and two outbuildings (one housing the water treatment plant), the paddock is ideal for use as a pony paddock, extended garden, or for growing vegetables, fruit trees, or flowers.
