Tipsy Barn is an attached, solid stone barn, converted about thirty years ago and originally part of the old cider house of Poundapitt Farm, giving the property its name! In more recent years, the accommodation has been remodelled and recently redecorated in part, to provide very attractive and well-appointed accommodation, whilst retaining its charm and some original features, including high ceiling timbers. These have been embellished by new fittings, for example solid oak internal doors and oak flooring.
On approach to the Barn, access is via the modern conservatory extension, which overlooks the courtyard and is a pleasant place to relax in the warm sunshine, or a useful space to kick off wellies and hang coats. The main door leads into the open plan living room, with oak flooring and plenty of space to one side for a large dining area. To the left, there is the sitting area, with a freestanding wood burner the focal point and a lovely feature, providing a cosy background warmth for the cooler winter evenings. A turning staircase with a wood balustrade, leads to the first floor and at the far end of the room, there is a utility room, leading to the downstairs bathroom, attractively fitted with a white suite, with a shower over the bath.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a prime feature of the property and is attractively fitted in a cream 'Shaker' style with a full range of cupboard storage and shelving, a Belfast sink, oak work surfaces and tiled flooring. Within a recess, there is a 'Belling' range cooker, which may be purchased under separate negotiation.
The kitchen has space for a dining table to one side, ideal for everyday use, and beyond, there is a large store cupboard housing the oil-fired boiler for central heating and useful for airing clothes.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, all suitable for a double bed, with the principal room having a contemporary en suite shower room, with a large shower cubicle, wash basin and toilet. From the landing, there is another useful toilet.
Outside, surrounding the steps down to Tipsy Barn, there are raised borders with a pretty range of established flowers and shrubs and the small courtyard has space for some patio furniture. Beyond, steps lead up to the main garden area, which has been well-tended with more flowers and shrubs, surrounding the lawn. This private garden is a lovely place to relax, with a sunny aspect and fields and trees in the background. A paved path also leads from the parking area to the garden and the large workshop/shed, which has been recently installed.
