The Grade II listed property boasts a number of character features including exposed beams, high vaulted ceilings and large windows that welcome in plenty of natural light.
The entrance is found at the rear of Swanns Barn, with a timber framed door leading into the porch.
From here is a cloakroom with WC and vanity sink, and a utility fitted with a range of wall and base units, an inset sink with drainer, and space for a free-standing fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.
The kitchen, which is also accessed off the porch, leads through to the rest of the ground-floor accommodation.
With plenty of space for food prep, including a central island with timber worktop over, it’s perfect for keen cooks and has a Rangemaster double oven with five-burner gas hob and hot plate, integrated fridge/freezer, Neff microwave and space and plumbing for a dishwasher.
To one side, the family/breakfast room is a cosy space for dining and relaxing, with tiled flooring, a woodburning stove and two timber-framed patio doors leading out into the courtyard garden.
To the other side, the living room opens out on to a decked area of the rear garden and also features an inglenook fireplace with brick surround and timber mantel, electric wood burner and built-in storage cupboard.
The dining room/library is a stunning and bright focal point for Swanns Barn, with a double-height feature window with double doors to the garden letting the light flood into the central dining space, which is framed by the second-floor mezzanine and wood support beams.

An adjoining study with outside access features an exposed brick wall feature and fitted storage units and shelving.
Three of Swanns Barn’s five bedrooms are located in a separate wing on the ground floor accessed from the dining room/library and a hallway off the inner courtyard.
All of these bedrooms are carpeted, and two have en suites with shower cubicles (one with a rainfall shower), WCs and pedestal sinks, while the rest are served by a family bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a corner bath with shower over, WC and pedestal sink, and a heated towel rail.
The first floor's mezzanine landing is home to a snug area with a wall-mounted electric fireplace and a small set of stairs leading to the impressive principal bedroom, which has windows on to the landing, a large in-eaves storage cupboard and a unique mezzanine dressing area fitted with two double built-in wardrobes.
As you first enter the bedroom, a door to the right leads you to an en suite with a shower, sink and WC.
Swanns Barn is approached via a shingled driveway which leads down the side of the property and has access to a double garage with power and electricity.
The inner courtyard garden is partly paved and partly laid to lawn, creating a lovely area for sitting and soaking up the sun.
The grounds at the rear of the property extend to just over 0.8 acres and feature a large area of manicured lawn, a pond and multiple fruit trees. The garden is sectioned up to include a vegetable garden with both a greenhouse and shed.
There is a second small, secluded courtyard garden to the side of the property, which provides access to bedroom two, offering potential use as an annexe.
