Conversion offers fine country living
An individual four-bedroom barn conversion in an idyllic and exclusive setting with delightful countryside views is for sale with Jon Brambles of Newark for £704,950.
The Tillage Barn on Westwood Grange, Tuxford, provides exceptionally spacious and versatile accommodation and is finished to a very high standard.
The Tillage Barn is part of a small group of converted farm buildings on what was the Duke of Newcastle’s estate. It lies on the outskirts of the village, set back in an acre of grounds.
The front door leads into a spacious reception hallway, which has an exposed brick wall with an archway leading into the lounge, and exposed roof trusses.
The 23ft by 18ft lounge and dining room has French doors and a feature window to the front, looking across the paddock and open countryside beyond.
There is a vaulted ceiling, exposed roof trusses and brick pillars, and what is believed to be an original stone step leading into the hallway.
The large breakfast kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of bespoke base and wall units, including display cabinets, complemented by solid granite work surfaces and splashbacks. There is a Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher, an electric range cooker with ceramic hob and extractor hood above and a bespoke cupboard to house an American-style fridge.
The kitchen has a central island containing further storage units and also has a large breakfast bar.
The breakfast kitchen is of sufficient size to accommodate a further dining table.
Off the kitchen is the sitting room, which has a door leading out to the garden and front windows giving views across open farmland.
The sitting room has a skylight, making it particularly light, and is further enhanced with wall lighting.
A utility room is fitted with more base and wall units and a twin stainless steel sink, and has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
An internal hallway provides access to the bathroom and bedroom accommodation. The hallway is a feature with exposed roof trusses, series of skylight windows, contemporary wall lighting and a range of fitted wardrobes.
There is a cloakroom with wc and wash basin.
The 19ft by 18ft master bedroom has windows to the front and side, both with countryside views. There is an extensive range of contemporary fitted wardrobes, and a window seat with storage beneath. There are exposed beams and recessed ceiling spotlights.
An archway and door lead to the en-suite bathroom, which has a bath, vanity unit with rectangular sink, wc and a large walk-in shower cubicle with rainwater head shower.
Bedroom two has two windows with far-reaching views, exposed beam and an en-suite shower room, which is fitted with a contemporary suite with a vanity unit and sink, wc and double shower cubicle with mains rainwater head shower.
Bedroom three is a double room with a range of contemporary fitted wardrobes. A staircase from this room leads to a mezzanine floor, which is currently used as a home office/study area.
There is also a fourth double bedroom.
The family bathroom comprises a bath, wash basin, wc and walk-in shower cubicle with curved screen and mains rainwater head shower.
Outside, electrically-operated wooden gates lead on to a large gravel driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles.
The area immediately to the front of the house is a blend of hard landscaped areas and a well-manicured lawn. There is a patio area and a raised deck enclosed by a brick wall.
There is a small paddock and alongside that is a further decked area providing an alternative outdoor seating location and viewpoint.
A brick and timber carport provides parking for two vehicles and also has storage cupboards. Next to the carport is a stable, with access to the paddock.
