Walnut Barn combines light, space and versatility throughout. A welcoming, split‑level reception hall introduces the accommodation, leading into a magnificent triple‑aspect sitting room that spans much of the property’s width. French doors open onto the rear terrace, while a feature wood‑burning stove brings warmth and character to the heart of the home. The adjoining kitchen/breakfast room is perfectly positioned to overlook the gardens, fitted with a range of wooden cabinetry and integrated appliances, and offering direct access to the terrace for easy indoor and outdoor living. The ground floor also provides excellent flexibility, including a large study ideal for home working and a generous additional reception room, originally designed as a music room by an acoustic consultant, which lends itself equally well to use as a ground‑floor bedroom if required. A well‑appointed wet room completes the arrangement. A particularly charming feature of Walnut Barn is its unique first‑floor layout, with each of the three upper bedrooms accessed via its own independent staircase, creating an unusual and appealing level of privacy. The principal bedroom suite enjoys a landing/snug area and cloakroom, while the remaining two double bedrooms each benefit from far‑reaching countryside views, skylights and extensive built‑in storage.

Thoughtfully designed, it includes its own kitchen, sitting room with terrace access, double bedroom, shower room and storage, offering complete autonomy while remaining conveniently connected.
