Kingway Barn is a beautiful barn conversion situated at the end of a long private driveway overlooking open countryside. Dating back to 1853, this traditional barn has great charm and is built mainly of brick under a slate roof. The property was converted in the 1980s to provide a free-flowing, light country home with a great sense of space. The front door opens into a magnificent high-ceilinged entrance hall with a study to the left and a beautiful drawing room beyond. The drawing room is well-proportioned with fitted shelves and a gas wood burner in a Cotswold stone fireplace. Leading off to the left is the sitting room, with exposed beams, a wood-burner and French doors that lead out on to the private garden. On the opposite side of the hall is the open plan kitchen/breakfast room, perfect for family living with space for a large dining table and French doors that lead out to the landscaped garden with pastureland beyond. The kitchen is fitted with granite and oak worktops on a range of bespoke units. There is an electric Aga and an integrated dishwasher.
Beyond the kitchen is a well-thought-out and large utility room with a striking oak framed porch leading to the stable and garages outside.
The accommodation consists of five bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms. Leading up the striking oak staircase from the entrance hall, the first floor consists of a fabulous principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom. There are two more bedrooms on this floor, both with built-in wardrobes and served by a family shower room. A further two en suite bedrooms are on the ground floor, ideal for relatives or a guest suite.

Gardens and Grounds:
The property has structured outside spaces with ample gravelled parking to the front and side of the barn and different garden areas. There are various outbuildings, including a triple garage, machinery store, workshop, and 12x12 stable and tack room, which are conveniently close to the house. Beyond the front gardens, there is also a hay store.
The grounds are beautifully presented with formal borders, fine lawns, an orchard, a vegetable area, established woodland and paths that connect the property. An ideal garden and outdoor entertaining space to enjoy throughout the seasons.
There are three post and railed paddocks (about 5 acres), a field shelter, and a well-stocked orchard.
In all about 7.5 acres.
