A wonderful opportunity to purchase a beautifully presented and highly spacious four/five-bedroom barn conversion, with a three-bedroom detached annex, all within extensive grounds extending to approximately 14 acres with the added benefit of a beautiful woodland, stream and natural spring.
The property encompasses two individual dwellings; Meadow Farm and Meadow Barn, and is situated on the edge of Oakhill village but in walking distance to its amenities.
Meadow Farm is a beautifully considered conversion of a substantial stone barn, completed in 2021, and Meadow Barn is the original stone barn conversion, completed in 2002, with its own formal garden.
There is a large timber framed carport for three vehicles with an attached log store, and several more outbuildings with development potential.
The property would lend itself perfectly to a family, multi-generational living or those with an equestrian interest.
About Meadow Farm.
The main house is perfectly situated to ensure the very best views across the land and towards the woodland. The entrance hall leads to an impressive sitting room with a log burner and oak beamed vaulted ceilings, and is open to a fully glazed apex of the garden room, with double and bi-fold doors opening the room fully to the outside. This room is beautifully lit with natural sunlight, as are all parts of this stunning home.
Across the hall is a formal dining room, again with exposed oak beams and a vaulted ceiling, perfectly positioned next to the beautiful Tom Howley kitchen. This is a superb family space, complete with a 5 oven Aga, a walk-in pantry, premium appliances including Fisher & Paykel Fridge/Freezer and a Montpellier Wine Cooler and a sizeable island with breakfast bar – an ideal setting for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also an external door to a courtyard setting.
A second hallway accesses a sizeable utility room, double-fronted laundry cupboard, cloakroom and striking glass fronted wine store. The hallway leads on to a large home study with integral air conditioning, a dedicated area for coats and shoes, and two entrances; one to the rear of the property and one to the courtyard.
The remainder of this floor is made up of three wonderfully large bedrooms; the spacious master complete with integral air-conditioning, built-in wardrobes, french doors to the sun terrace, and a large en-suite; the second with en-suite and the third served by a family bathroom.
From the hallway, stairs lead up to an impressive first floor gallery landing, with extensive built in cupboards and a fourth bedroom. An equally sized storeroom is opposite and could certainly be used as a fifth bedroom with both accessing a bathroom on this floor.
The proportions of this property will impress as will the amount of natural light that flows beautifully throughout. Each room enjoys copious amounts of storage from built in wardrobes to cloakroom cupboards and loft and eve space to utilise too.
Built with a wonderful amount of rural character and consideration, the result is a harmonious fusion of heritage and high-specification design.
