Situated in a superb, peaceful, rural position with far-reaching views over surrounding countryside The Well & Open barn are believed to date from the late 18th Century. Approached from Newton Hall Lane over a private unmade drive and bridleway the main property is of brick construction under a slate roof and has been altered and improved by the present owners in recent years, offering substantial and versatile family accommodation of 3800sqft with many period character features including exposed beams, stone flagged and oak floors and feature fireplaces. The house is in part future proofed for energy usage as a Ground Sourced Heat Pump central heating system is installed. This together with double glazing has helped it achieve a very good EPC rating of B.
This property also has a reserve Oil Boiler and Tank if ever needed.
Whilst described in greater detail, the property comprises four separate reception rooms in the main part of the house including a most attractive drawing room with feature cast iron fireplace and log burning stove, exposed beams and exposed floorboards. The dining room and sitting room also have feature fireplaces, with the sitting room having a wood burning stove and stone flagged flooring. The kitchen includes a range of fitted units and cooking appliances and the cast iron range enhances the character of the farmhouse kitchen. This room leads directly into a high-quality bespoke conservatory at the rear.
Beyond the utility room on the ground floor there is a further room with secondary staircase leading to the first floor. This area is ideally suited to those wanting ancillary accommodation for a dependant relative or family member.
The first-floor accommodation can also be adapted to suit individual needs. It currently provides a spacious and impressive master suite with bedroom and split-level dressing room and bathroom. There are four further bedrooms and a second bathroom and shower room, although the room at the top of the secondary stairs could easily be adapted as a bed/sitting room in a dependant’s annexe.
