Characterful home in pretty gardens goes up for sale

​Ayers Barn, listed at £540,000 with agent Jackson Property, was constructed in the late 1970s by Swan & Partners Rebuilders, who, according to the listing, aimed to give the property “all the appearance of a period residence with the benefits of a modern construction.” The house is set in approximately a quarter of an acre of landscaped gardens with a rural backdrop. Located a one-minute walk from the village shop, the property has three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two reception rooms. The ground floor features wide plank engineered oak flooring, a reception hall with a cloakroom and storage, and a living room with windows to three sides and exposed timbers. Double doors in the dining/sitting room open onto the gardens, and a Clearview wood burning stove is described as a central feature. The kitchen has a half vaulted ceiling, fitted cupboards, an integrated electric oven and hob, and space for further appliances. A stable door opens to the side, with another door leading to the rear garden. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has windows on two sides, exposed timbers, and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is described as “very generous” in the listing, while the third also fits a double bed and offers garden views. A family shower room is also on the first floor. Outside, a gravelled driveway leads to a car port and further private parking. The gardens include lawns, mature shrubs, trees, a gravelled patio, and a summer house, which the listing says “could be suitable as a home office if required.” Mains electricity, water, and drainage are connected, with oil-fired central heating. Broadband speeds of up to 1000Mbps are reported as available. The property falls within a designated conservation area.
