Property description
GUIDE PRICE £850,000 to £875,000 - A stunning barn conversion beautifully finished with fittings of the highest quality, and located on Church Street in the sought after village of Long Bennington. This home also offers the opportunity, and has the flexibility to incorporate the older generations of the family with an integrated Annexe also. Converted originally in 2002, and having undergone extensive improvements to key areas in the last few years, this striking property has been designed to meet the needs of contemporary family living with its flowing open plan spaces, maximising the light and rural tranquillity of its setting. Built to the highest specification, the property offers quality fittings and remains in immaculate condition and decorative order. The doors are in solid oak and these are complimented by the use of other natural materials throughout the property. Although this home has undergone a contemporary conversion, it still retains a wealth of character with exposed ceiling beams throughout the 4,500 sq feet of highly flexible family living. A viewing of this home is absolutely essential to appreciate its position, space, and to also feel the quality that emanates from every surface and finish.
