Reached via a lengthy private driveway, this superb, farmstead-style enclave comprises a Grade II Listed former farmhouse, individually designed former agricultural buildings plus four similarly caste new build properties – all sitting perfectly together. Located on the verge of Eccleston village in an idyllic, secluded, rural setting, the properties are positioned around a central, cobble-sett courtyard and surrounded by far-reaching pastoral aspects, preserving the historic form and character of the original farmstead.
This outstanding semi-detached red sandstone and brick-built barn of generous proportions will be sympathetically renovated whilst retaining its historic charm and original features with an array of gnarled beams and ancient king trusses.
Internally, new walls will be introduced throughout the existing footprint of the barn to create additional rooms and the roof will be raised slightly to create the required additional headroom for a first floor. The barn will then be re-roofed replacing the existing concrete sheeting with natural slate and traditional carpentry methods applied whilst the modern brick additions will be stripped away and replaced with stone to capture the principle of the original barn.
The mindful yet sophisticated design offers accommodation set over two floors; the ground floor will incorporate an inviting hallway, principal lounge, an open-plan living-dining-kitchen with utility/boot room off and a downstairs cloakroom. The first-floor galleried landing gives way to three double bedrooms, the very spacious master bedroom having a dressing area and an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom with contemporary four-piece suite of back-to-wall bathtub, shower cabinet, wash hand basin and w.c.
Located within the curtilage of the Grade II listed Wood End Farm, situated to the east, the barn has a total floor area of 154.24 sq.m (1660 sq.ft) which can be extended to the gable end, under its permitted development entitlement, and at an additional cost.
In line with green credentials, the property will be warmed by an air source heating system.
