A fine converted barn presented in immaculate order and with far reaching views over open countryside towards Ogston Water.

Detached House - Derbyshire

Barn Cottage is a fine example of a well converted barn which offers light and spacious family accommodation over two floors. Particular attention has been paid to detail and the property has many fine features including solid oak doors, Indian stone floors with under floor heating and top quality Porcelenosa ceramic bathroom tiles. The house is approached through a pair of wooden electric gates opening onto a driveway laid to stone setts leading to an area of parking for several vehicles and a large double garage.

Ground floor: The back door opens into a tiled hallway with cupboard housing the boilers, a coat cupboard and staircase up to a useful storage area/study. The utility room is off this back hall and has a good range of units and granite work surfaces incorporating a Belfast sink and plumbing for a washer and dryer. The hall then leads into the kitchen which is fitted with an excellent range of wall and base units with granite work-surfaces incorporating a Belfast sink. There is a central island offering further storage and with a granite worktop with inset stainless steel sink. A range of Bosch appliances include two fridges, a freezer and microwave, there is a two drawer Fisher and Paykell dishwasher and a two oven gas fired AGA with adjoining two oven and gas hob AGA companion, all set in a stone fireplace. A wide arch opens into a spectacular fully glazed conservatory dining/sitting room with Indian stone floor and two pairs of doors opening on to the terrace to the front of the house. To the ceiling are electric blinds and opening windows. Off one end is a guest cloakroom with W.C. and hand basin. Adjacent is a good sized sitting room currently used as a children’s playroom/TV room. There is a charming, cosy second sitting room with a window overlooking the rear garden and a stone fireplace with inset wood burning stove. The original main hallway with ‘front door’ serves as a study and has the staircase to the first floor. To the end of the house is the former drawing room which our clients have converted into an excellent master bedroom suite with large sitting/dressing area, bedroom and fully fitted en suite shower room.

First floor: There is a good sized, dual aspect guest bedroom (or potential master) with a fitted cupboard and en suite shower room. A second double bedroom has an en suite shower room and there are two further double bedrooms with views to the front of the property. The family bathroom is well fitted with a panelled bath and shower over, W.C., hand basin and heated towel rail.

The former kennels: Adjacent to the house our clients have converted the former kennels into a two room annexe complete with shower room and the original ‘runs’ to the outside, there is further scope with this building.

The garage block: There are two good sized single garages on the ground floor with a large store cupboard to the rear of one. Stairs lead to the first floor where there is an office/sitting room, a second office/potential bedroom and an adjacent store room with potential to be a shower room.
