**WOW!!** An absolutely stunning and unique country residence, establishing a high calibre finish from top to bottom, enjoying ample space and land just an hour to London Kings Cross from nearby Grantham.

DESCRIPTION

Set down a long, private driveway and surrounded by the open countryside, this absolutely stunning one-of-a-kind eco-home offers the discerning buyer the unique opportunity to acquire a newly-constructed residence that successfully combines the character of a traditional red-brick barn, with a contemporary and energy efficient modern residence.

The enviable high-end interiors are hugely impressive. The heart of the home is the premium bespoke kitchen by the locally renowned Steven Christopher Design, incorporating a quartz central island with an elevated breakfast bar and sleek, handless units. No expense has been spared with the integrated appliances, with a Bora induction hob and down draught extractor, full height Siemens fridge and freezer, Siemens ovens, steamer and microwave, as well as a matte black Quooker instant boiling tap.

The modern yet tasteful open-plan space incorporates a large living space with floor to ceiling slide patio doors leading out to the covered outside terrace, providing a superb space for outdoor dining and entertaining. An additional set of slide patio doors allow access onto the front courtyard. A bespoke oak media centre provides a focal point for media entertainment, with concealed LED lighting to the ceiling.

The entrance hall is light and airy, enjoying solid oak columns with illuminated patterned frets to the walls. The flooring is gorgeous porcelain wood-effect tiles with underfloor heating. The impressive dining hall benefits from full height ceilings with a stunning oak staircase leading up to a galleried landing with large roof light flooding the entire space with natural light.

The formal lounge is located in the converted barn, giving a different style of living with the more traditional exposed bricks and vaulted ceilings, incorporating additional sliding doors out into the central courtyard.

There are two convenient bedrooms to the ground floor. The largest one has been designed to facilitate a self-contained annexe if required, with exposed timber trusses and an open-plan living space and plumbing for a kitchenette if required. The bedroom area has a private ensuite directly opposite. The second bedroom is equally impressive, again complimented by an ensuite and would also make an ideal private home office if required.

The first floor accommodates the other two double bedrooms, with the master suite having the luxury of floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the garden, orchard and beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside, as well as over to the far-reaching neighbouring county of Leicestershire, including Belvoir Castle in the distance. These views are similarly enjoyed from the benefit of one's own private balcony.

The driveway is paved immediately outside the double garage, with ample private parking for multiple vehicles and yet further parking along the extended gravel driveway to the western boundary.
