Eastbourne Road, Newchapel, RH7

We love the space and flexibility offered by this unique barn conversion situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Lingfield. Grade II listed and Dating back to 1390, The Byre is one of the oldest buildings in Surrey presenting many period features throughout. It benefits from a spacious main residence and an additional detached annex. There is also a former double-height piggery with vaulted ceiling in the garden which could be converted into further living accommodation or a gym/home office.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hallway with space to hang coats, a built-in cupboard for housing shoes and an interesting welly rack. The kitchen was installed two years ago and is ideally located in the centre of the home. Benefitting from a range of base and eye level storage units, sleek work-surfaces providing plenty of preparation space, an inset modern sink, new hob and integrated double oven, dishwasher and full-height fridge/freezer. There are double doors opening out onto the side patio and and large dining table and chairs. A fantastic inglenook brick fireplace housing an open fire provides the perfect focal point for the double aspect sitting room. There are two large bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor. Both bedrooms are unique with one benefiting from a raised mezzanine sleeping area and the other, a beamed, vaulted ceiling. There is also a family room which has doors to the rear garden and internal access to the garage. A laundry room with space for two washing machines, freezer and tumble dryer. A large storage cupboard supplies further storage and the bathroom with walk-in shower cubicle completes the ground floor accommodation.

The triple aspect principle bedroom suite is a real feature of this home with recently laid brand new carpets. A large mezzanine provides storage solutions and an additional room adjacent is currently utilised as a home office that could also be used a walk-in wardrobe or nursery/children’s bedroom. The en-suite bathroom with shower over bath provides a sense of luxury and practicality for a busy household, with a floor to ceiling window providing a lovely outlook over the garden.

The westerly facing rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with a selection of raised beds for those who are green-fingered. Two patio areas and a section of artificial lawn is the ideal setting for al-fresco dining and outdoor gatherings.
