HAVE you ever stayed in a luxurious rural guest house, where every tiny detail has been carefully considered, and wished your home was like that? For buyers of The Wheelhouse that could be a dream come true.
A superbly converted barn, The Wheelhouse has been designed to create a flexible layout – then finished and decorated in a fuss-free style to the highest of standards. The end result is a spacious family home featuring beautifully presented open-plan living areas enhanced by natural light throughout.
Briefly, the ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch with stone flooring; spacious open-plan living/dining area with a recessed wood-burning stove and timber mantle, plus stone flooring; cloakroom; large kitchen/breakfast room – the real hub of the house – with an island unit, ample space for informal dining and stone flooring; utility room; master bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom which is home to a free-standing roll top bath and walk-in shower with body jets; further double bedroom and the wheelhouse from which the property takes its name. The original gingang, the wheelhouse is accessed via double doors from the living room. A light and airy space, it has a solid oak flooring and a vaulted ceiling, as well as French doors to the garden.
Another highlight of the ground floor accommodation is the second bedroom which was previously used as a granny flat and has a breakfast area kitchenette, wet room and a vaulted ceiling.
Most of the ground floor accommodation benefits from underfloor heating.
Upstairs, off the galleried landing with recessed study area, are two further double bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms.
The Wheelhouse sits in around two-and-a-half acres of grounds, comprising around 0.48 acres of landscaped private gardens and an adjoining paddock of just under two acres which is home to a tack room and two stables.
As well as a garage, the property has a large gravelled driveway/hard standing area providing additional parking.
