Old Barn is a substantial four bedroom detached house situated in a wonderful tucked away position in the heart of Bayford.
The owner was a local builder who constructed the house over a number of years for his own use and enjoyment. The property is set within a large mature garden extending to just over quarter of an acre. During the spring there is a burst of colour throughout the garden with a carpet of crocuses and primroses which are a joy to see.
The front door opens to a spacious hallway with a useful understairs cupboard. The sitting room is a particular feature being of a generous size with a natural stone fireplace as its focal point. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and has a door opening onto the adjoining dining room providing the opportunity to create a large kitchen/diner ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the convenience of a bathroom and a study perfect for home working.
Moving upstairs, there is a huge master bedroom with an en-suite shower room and three further bedrooms the second of which also has the convenience of an en-suite shower room.
Stepping outside, a long private driveway flanked by a natural stone wall leads to a parking/turning area with space for several cars. An area of block brick paving to the side of the house provides additional parking and access to the rear garden. This is a wonderful feature of the property being ideal for families and keen gardeners. There is a natural woodland feel to the garden with an area of lawn interspersed with mature shrubs and trees.
With some updating required, this substantial family house presents an excellent opportunity to create a home to your own taste and style.
