A FOUR-BED barn conversion near Ross-on-Wye is for sale – and it even boasts a sun terrace with a glass veranda.
The home, in Linton, has a guide price of £800,000, agent Hamilton Stiller says on Zoopla.
Originally built in the 18th century as a farm barn, agents say the home was then adopted into an agricultural museum in the 1920s. More recently, the stone barn was transformed into a substantial home which was dubbed 'Toad Hall'.
The home is set just off a country lane, and a sizeable off-road parking area – enough to accommodate around half a dozen vehicles – serves as a barrier between this lane and a wooden door which leads into a private, sun-trap courtyard.
There is a flagstone path around a manicured lawn, as well as a water fountain and a patio seating area.
The entrance to the home leads into a boot room, which provides plenty of space to take off coats, hats and boots after a day of enjoying the great outdoors, as well as a wealth of storage space.
Beyond this, there is a corridor which is streamed with plenty of natural light, which leads between the rooms on the northeast side of the home.
On the far right-hand side of this, there is a beautifully bright and open-plan lounge/dining room, agents say.
The characterful space carries exposed beams, a lovely brick fireplace which houses a wood-burning stove and an engineered oak floor.
They add: "The piece-de-resistance, however, is the magnificent view; a bay window one side of the room features a lovely outlook of the immaculate courtyard but an extensive set of French doors, as well as a window on the opposite side of the room exhibit a spellbinding panoramic view of the Malvern Hills, further summits in Worcestershire, the surrounding patchwork fields, and a multitude of apple orchards."
A cased opening at the dining side of the room leads through into the well-equipped kitchen which features an induction hob, self-cleaning oven, waste disposal unit, integrated dishwater and a microwave oven/grill.
There is also a built-in wine rack, a larder and space for an American-sized fridge/freezer. There is also a Worcester Bosch combi-boiler discreetly housed inside one of the cupboards.
The family bathroom is an excellent size and this includes a corner bath as well as a double walk-in shower cubicle, a basin, a bidet and a WC. There is also space and plumbing in the corner of the room for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The master bedroom is found at the far left-hand end of the northeast side of the home, with a dressing room and views of the Malverns.
There is also a study, another double bedroom and a reception room with doors to a conservatory.
A staircase leads up to the garage. At the lower level, there is a door giving access to the garage itself, and on the floor above, there is a space which serves as a self-contained annexe – ideal for multi-generational living or a holiday rental opportunity.
At the rear of the home is a sun terrace, which is sheltered by a glass veranda and thus gives an ideal space to stage barbecues during the warmer months.
A herb garden, greenhouse and fruit trees.
