Property description
An exceptional period village house with striking contemporary addition.
Description
Starting life as two stone cottages, the original part of the property dates back to 1894. The property has since undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation and extension to create a seamless blend of a modern family home with beautifully resorted period features and contemporary luxury; Barfield is a true testament to the owners vision and passion with sizeable open plan spaces, floor to ceiling windows throughout the newer part of the home which form a larger than average kitchen/dining room and a full height reception hall which links the two parts of the property. The property sits in private grounds of around three acres with every window enjoying a scenic outlook.
The property boasts impressive eco-credentials, with air-source heat pumps, quality double glazed windows, underfloor heating and high-level insulation.
The heart of the home is the generous kitchen-dining-sitting room, two walls of sliding doors opening to an expansive paved entertaining terrace.
Continuing through the ground floor there are two reception rooms, both with wood-burning stoves and doors opening to the front garden, providing relaxing spaces to retire to in the evening and for entertaining guests.
A bespoke staircase leads to the galleried first floor landing where there are six double bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite sits in the new part of the house and showcases two walls of glass windows and a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and rural vistas beyond.
The garden is primarily sweeping lawns, dotted with mature trees and shrubbery, bordered by a high mature hedge. A tennis court sits to the rear of the property flanked by the generous terrace which is a particularly private sun-trap and has been created with entertaining in mind. Featuring a wooden pergola as the centrepiece with plenty of space for Al-fresco dining, cooking and enjoying an evening drink.
There are a number of outbuildings in the form of timber stables and stone outhouses.
