4 Bedroom barn conversion ● Packards Lane, Wormingford ● £1,050,000
C17 Grade II listed four bedroom barn conversion occupying part moated private grounds of over 2 acres. The grounds consist of manicured lawns, parterre, woodland and wilderness gardens complete with an array of outbuildings including a fully serviced of
The Coach house is a C17 Grade II listed barn originally constructed as part of the neighbouring Rochfords estate, a C15 and C16 manor house. Although the barn dates back to the sixteen hundreds, the beams contain etchings that suggest they have an older provenance most probably from Tudor ships, taken apart for building materials. The barn was converted into a dwelling in the early 80’s and then dismantled and meticulously pieced back together in its current location further North from the estate. The property now sits in its own private and partially moated grounds of just over two acres. A Newer “barn” was constructed perpendicular to the original barn with a single storey link to create a new wing housing a kitchen / utility, dining room with two double bedrooms with en-suites. Constructed in modern materials, the newer wing sympathetically emulates the external character of the original structure with the same height, black timber window frames and cladding material and colour.
Accessed via a set of heavy electric wooden gates, the property is totally un-overlooked from any public space. The barn is fairly centrally positioned within the land allowing the grounds to offer a diverse assortment of gardens from manicured lawns and parterre “secret garden” to woodland walks, wilderness areas and a secluded gazebo and entertaining area serenely set next to an ornamental pond. At the end of the tree lined carriage driveway, the current owners have an array of out-buildings including a work-shop/ store, greenhouse and potting shed and an office complete with its own pub style bar.
Inside, the accommodation extends to approximately 2885 sqft and features beautiful original natural oak beams complimented by similarly coloured oak flooring. The old wing comprises of a stunning bright and airy expansive living room brimming with character that offers huge flexibility of use. Timber framed French doors lead out externally to the oak framed gazebo with slate roof and fire-pit for all-year-round use. A returning central stairwell accesses the principle bedroom and luxury bathroom and a further bedroom/ walk in dressing room all with dramatic vaulted ceilings with ample fenestration.
The newer east wing that faces the moat, wilderness gardens and lawn in brief comprises of a dining room/ snug, WC, kitchen and utility with focal points being a stunning natural wood topped island and electric Everhot oven. Two further double bedrooms and en-suites are accessed via a separate staircase. Most ground floor rooms of the property benefit from doors leading to different areas of the gardens providing different parts of the house to enjoy natural sunlight all throughout the day.
