Description
Located adjacent to a farmhouse and former farmstead which is now a complex of attractive converted barns,   Pixey Barn is believed to date from Victorian times and is of mellow red brick construction under a pitch tiled roof.  Pixey Barn is attached at one end to The Granary – a residential dwelling. 

Entering the property via the front door into the entrance hall, there are doors off to the cloakroom and the attached double garage.  A further door from the entrance hall opens to the large farmhouse style kitchen/dining room which benefits from dual aspects to front and rear.  This room has a vaulted ceiling and oak flooring and is fitted with a matching range of wall and base units with wooden worktop over incorporating one and half bowl single drainer sink unit and mixer tap.  The units surround a central island with pan draws and also with wooden worktop. There is a recess for a dual fuel range cooker, with fitted extractor fan over, integrated recycling system, integral dishwasher and integral fridge.  A door from the kitchen leads to the inner hall with further doors leading to the sitting room and garden room.  The sitting room is also dual aspect with vaulted ceiling and oak flooring.  It benefits from a contemporary high level wood burning stove with glass hearth.  The garden room, with its solid roof and vaulted ceilings, takes in all the stunning views of the formal gardens and also has French style doors to the outside.  

The entrance hall leads to a further hall to the bedroom accommodation.  From the hall there is a door and windows overlooking the private courtyard which has a pond and an attractive seating area.  The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, chestnut flooring, dual aspects to front and rear and French style doors leading out to a private terrace.  A further door opens to the en-suite, with walk-in double shower tray with mains fed drencher shower and handheld attachment, close coupled WC and pedestal handwash basin.  There are three further double bedrooms which share the family bathroom, with pedestal basin, WC and a roll edge bath with separate shower cubicle.

The large double garage and store link the main part of the building to further accommodation comprising a utility room, store room and a boot room with stable door to the courtyard.  This area could form a separate annexe if required, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

The property benefits from underfloor heating throughout the main building via a wet underfloor heating system, with the exception of the garden room which has an electric underfloor heating system.

Outside
The property is approached via a gravel driveway that provides ample off-road parking in front of the double garage.  This area cleverly divides the garden from the main formal gardens that lie to the front of the dwelling and  which are mainly laid to lawn with established flower and shrub borders.  There is a further landscaped area and terrace which overlooks a stunning pond. To the opposite side of the driveway is a large garden which is mainly laid to lawn and mostly enclosed by hedging and trees. Beyond here is the second driveway that provides access to the orchard with large fruit cage, timber stable and the paddock beyond, which is enclosed by post and rail fencing.
