Property description

Historic three bedroom Grade II Listed former farmhouse set in delightful grounds of 0.86 of an acre with outline planning for a single detached dwelling as well as a large stone built workshop, enchanting gardens and beautiful character features.

The Property
Dairs Barton is a beautifully presented Grade II listed residence with origins dating back to the 16th century. Local historians believe that Dairs Barton was an influential farm within the area until it was lotted and sold off during the 1960’s. Since 2008 the property has undergone extensive refurbishment as well as two major extensions which have enhanced the already picturesque accommodation. The sympathetic refurbishment has enriched many of the original features such as the charming inglenook fireplace, window seats and exposed beams. The resulting home now has a superb open plan kitchen/dining room with bespoke handmade kitchen and a spacious triple aspect home office featuring solid wood furnishings and double doors leading out to a peaceful paved seating area. Other improvements include handmade hardwood windows, rethatching of the roof in 2016 and extensive landscaping of the gardens and grounds. The property boasts two spacious reception rooms packed full of character, with both rooms benefitting from wood burning stoves, but the real hub of the home is the stunning kitchen featuring handmade solid wooden units, quality integrated appliances and an island with solid American black walnut surfacing. There is a most useful utility room providing additional storage, space for further appliances and cloakroom. To the first floor is a split level landing where access is provided to three generous double bedrooms and a large family bathroom which includes a white suite and separate shower cubicle. Of particular note is the impressive master bedroom that features views of the gardens, dressing room which could be used as an occasional fourth bedroom and a fully fitted en-suite bathroom.
