Description
This spectacular barn conversion is believed to date from the 16th Century, formed from a typical Wealden barn. The property is set in the former Old Surrey Hall estate, centred around a medieval manor house, which dates from about 1477, and has since been restored and extended in the 1920s.
This barn was converted to form a residence about the same time. The property retains much of the original character, with exposed timbers above ragstone and brick elevations to the front. Internally, the property provides much period charm with many exposed beams, oak doors and leaded light windows. A particular feature is the ‘farmhouse’ style kitchen with electric Aga. The accommodation is adaptable, with 2 staircases serving separate parts of the first floor.
Externally, there is an open barn style garage for 3 cars and a secluded rear garden overlooking woodland. There is also a small adjacent paddock. The grounds extend to about 1 acre.
