North Street, Ropley, Alresford, SO24

Full description

Originally part of the North Farm Estate, the North Barn was converted and listed in 1986 and now presents an elegant home in a rural location and within reach of a lively village community. The property has retained much of its original character and boasts exposed beams and a double fireplace. This is an elegant and interesting property that has a lot to offer either as a family home or even as a holiday let.

Entering through the front door, you find yourself in a superb dual aspect sitting / dining room. This is a large open plan space, divided by a double fireplace which is occupied on one side by a wood burning stove. Steps to the left take you up to a study / further storage space set over the garage. The hallway leads to the kitchen which boasts a stone-tiled floor and bespoke handmade cabinets plus a fan-assisted oven to complement the 2-oven Rayburn which provides the property with oil fired central heating. Stairs from the sitting room rise to the first floor which comprises a principal double bedroom which overlooks the front of the house and the field beyond and benefits from an en suite shower room and built-in storage plus two further double bedrooms and one single bedroom that share the family bathroom.

North Barn is approached by a driveway from North Street and leads to a double garage and parking for several cars. The gate opens into an enclosed private garden that leads you to the front of the house. For those interested in rural heritage, there is also a Shepherd¿s hut, complete with electric power points and a wood burning stove, to provide summer entertainment space or even guest accommodation.
