The Property
Set amongst open arable fields and close to the historic market town of Petersfield, Lower Barn offers a wonderful combination of generous accommodation and versatile spaces for family life and work.

A charming, converted barn with a distinctive character, Lower Barn provides thoughtfully laid out living accommodation, flexible rooms and useful outbuildings. From the main bedroom suite and mezzanine office to the outside studio the property offers a wealth of possibilities for modern country living requirements.

The main house provides a generous and inviting arrangement of reception rooms, bedrooms and practical spaces, while the additional studio accommodation offers further opportunities for working from home, hobbies, guests or family use.

The kitchen / dining room forms the heart of the home. A welcoming and practical space, it is well suited to everyday family life and entertaining friends. Its generous layout allows the kitchen and dining areas to work together as a sociable hub. A separate utility room provides valuable space, helping to keep the main living areas organised and uncluttered. A convenient downstairs cloakroom serves the ground floor and reception areas.

The sitting room offers a comfortable main reception space in which to relax and unwind. It provides a natural setting for quieter evenings, family time and entertaining. The separate snug is a versatile space to enjoy away from the main sitting room.

A particularly useful room, the family / games room / fourth bedroom offers excellent flexibility, depending on the needs of the household.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is generous, complemented by its own en suite bathroom and dressing room. The dressing room provides useful storage. Together, these rooms create a comfortable main suite with a sense of separation from the rest of the accommodation. Next to the main suite there is a vaulted mezzanine office / landing which is a distinctive feature of the house. This flexible area provides an ideal home working space, study area or quiet reading corner, while also adding to the character and sense of space upstairs.

There are two further vaulted double bedrooms which provide comfortable accommodation along with a separate shower room, providing practical and convenient facilities for family living and guests.

Gardens and Grounds
The garden is mainly laid to lawn with some mature shrubs and trees. There is an outdoor kitchen / dining area with a water feature, a perfect spot for entertaining. There are two further entertaining areas with fire pits.

The outside studio provides an exciting extension of the accommodation, offering a dedicated space away from the main house. The office provides a useful space for focused work or study, while the snug / games room with a WC and shower can be adapted to suit a variety of needs. The further art studio is a useful extra space and has double doors if needed to the snug / games room.
