GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Oak Tree Barn is a beautifully appointed semi-detached single storey barn conversion constructed in 2010 which forms part of a terrace of three similar properties. Refurbished to a high standard throughout, the property retains many of its original features and benefits from vaulted ceilings and exposed oak beams and is privately situated in a circa 7 acre plot. To the front of the site is a portal framed warehouse, also refurbished at the same time, comprising a warehouse together with office, reception and a separate workshop. The warehouse unit is self-contained with its own kitchen and toilet and has been occupied by the vendors for many years when they traded from the building. Although the barn is semi-detached it is only connected at the entrance hallway, with private gardens and screened boundaries giving a sense of seclusion and detachment. To the rear of the lawned garden is an open area of grassland making up the majority of the 7 acre site, which would be idea for those having an equestrian interest. Externally there is a gravelled drive leading to the property which provides plenty of parking. To the left-hand side and rear of the Barn are two private walled courtyard areas mainly laid to lawn with planted borders and to the right-hand side is a large lawned garden area which leads to the paddock extending to just over 6 acres.
