Cuerden Farm Barn is an impressive equestrian property comprising an immaculate detached barn conversion with extensive equestrian facilities; the property is being sold with 3 acres plus a further 4 acres to let or to purchase by separate negotiation. The property is thought suitable for the professional or leisure user and enjoys an attractive rural location yet is conveniently situated for access to junction 28 of the M6.

This detached barn conversion is brimming with character and the property has been completed to the highest standard by the current owners. This versatile family home offers pleasant views and has the benefit of spacious grounds as well as private parking. There is also a double garage with electrically operated doors.

Location
The property is set well back from the public highway, giving important distance from the road. However, at the same time Junction 28 of the M6 motorway is situated approximately 1 mile away.

Proceeding from the public highway along the tarmac access drive a brick wall surrounds the very private front parking area. This is laid to gravel and allows cars to either proceed to the double garage or to pull up at the front of the property. Access from here is either into the grand formal dining hallway or alternatively on a day to day basis directly into the utility room.

Guests will be greeted by a full size former barn opening which is now glazed with a pedestrian door giving way into the stunning dining hallway. Oak floors and under floor heating works through the majority of the ground floor accommodation and these are accompanied by oak joinery and unusually large amounts of natural light considering the property is a barn conversion.

Directly from the dining hallway, with its full height vaulted ceiling, access can be gained into the kitchen/dining area with its fully fitted kitchen comprising a range of base cupboards and drawer units with black granite work tops over, matching splash back and window sills, Fisher Paykel integral double dishwasher, tall housing unit with Zanussi microwave and separate oven, halogen hob and extractor hood. The central island has integrated wine cooler, storage and granite surface.

Directly adjacent to and working in tandem with the kitchen is the utility room with fitted commercial washer and separate dryer by Admiral, full height storage areas and window and door to the front. The main reception space to the house is the large lounge with views to the rear over looking countryside and gardens to the side and access to the entertaining patio area and garden.

At the other end of the house on the ground floor there are two double bedrooms (one of which has previously been used as a play room and study), one bedroom a bath en-suite and there is also a separate shower room.
To the first floor can be found the feature master bedroom suite which not only has a sizeable bedroom area but also an unusual en-suite facility which truly is a feature. This comprises a glazed shower cubicle and Victoria Albert bathroom suite.

The first floor is completed by Bedroom 4 which is a suite itself due to the en-suite facility comprising w.c and basin.

Externally there is an outdoor entertainment area that is laid to a stone flagged patio, this coupled with the large expanse lawn. The borders have been well stocked and will soon create a semi-mature garden space.
