Description

Apple Barton is a charming detached barn conversion nestled in a picturesque semi-rural setting just outside the desirable village of Kingston Seymour. This property offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for those seeking a rural retreat with significant potential for future enhancement. Approached via a quiet no-through lane, the property is framed by neat post-and-rail fencing, leading to a spacious gravel driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles, including options for a caravan or boat. A substantial brick-built outbuilding provides additional storage and presents exciting possibilities for development, subject to planning permission. The main barn features an inviting entrance through a glazed passageway that connects what were originally two separate barns. Inside, the expansive sitting/dining room, measuring 22'4", showcases a dramatic vaulted ceiling and a stunning 15' mezzanine area. This versatile space is enhanced by a cozy fireplace with a cast-iron wood-burning stove and French doors that open to a private outdoor seating area, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The farmhouse-style kitchen is bright and airy, equipped with traditional hardwood units and ample space for a breakfast table. It includes modern appliances and leads to a utility room with convenient access to the garden. The ground floor also accommodates two or three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, offering flexible living arrangements. The largest ground-floor bedroom boasts dual-aspect windows, providing delightful views of the garden. The extensive grounds are a gardener's paradise, featuring diverse trees, plants, and flowers that ensure privacy and tranquility. Thoughtfully designed seating areas are perfect for family gatherings or intimate dinners, complemented by a natural pond teeming with wildlife and a productive kitchen garden. While Apple Barton has been well-maintained, it presents an exciting opportunity for new owners to further enhance its charm and create their dream country home.
