THE PROPERTY
Kiln House is an impressive, attached barn conversion, which was converted in 2016, having originally formed part of an old maltings barn and now offers superbly arranged accommodation over two floors with large spacious rooms enjoying a most pleasant tucked away setting within this conservation area.

The accommodation comprises a spacious galleried entrance hall with limestone floor and an oak and glass staircase leading to the first floor. Double doors open through to a wonderfully large kitchen /dining/family room with a superb range of base and eye level units with solid wood worksurfaces, integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, double oven and induction hob, a large island unit and bifold doors open out to the beautifully manicured cottage garden. The light and airy sitting room features a wealth of period detail, with a multi-fuel burning stove, double doors out to the garden and a study area ideal for home office working. There is also a utility room, cloakroom and boot room.
On the first floor there are four good sized double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms, both of which have tiled floors with electric underfloor heating, heated towel rails and fully tiled shower cubicles. There is also a superb family bath/shower room, which features a panel enclosed bath, separate tiled shower cubicle, hand wash basin, low level wc, tiled floor with electric underfloor heating and a heated towel rail.
