The Barns, Great Easton, Market Harborough, LE16

An extremely rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a barn conversion, which has been sympathetically refurbished and converted, and superbly extended by renowned local developer Bridgedale Homes.

The Barns is the former outbuilding to the neighbouring Broadgate House, which has been meticulously extended to the rear to provide contemporary additions which complement the Listed former barn section to the front. The accommodation is specified with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout, with strong eco-credentials which blend seamlessly both the period features and new build elements.

Accommodation

The Barns is entered via full height glazed doors into a spacious and light reception hall with a WC, an office, and a utility room off. To the right is the ground floor master bedroom with an ensuite comprising a WC, wash hand basin and double shower enclosure. Off the reception hall to the left is the principal feature of the property which is the stunning open plan living dining kitchen. It is a wonderful light space by virtue of bifold doors which give access to the rear garden, and full height glazed French doors giving access to the courtyard. A door provides access to a rear lobby which has stairs rising to the first floor accommodation. Off the lobby is access to the sitting room which enjoys views of the rear garden through French doors. Stairs rise to the first floor landing which gives access to two equal size double bedrooms both benefitting from ensuite shower rooms.

Outside

Vehicular access to the property is off Broadgate and via a driveway to the left of the property, which gives access to the courtyard parking area with two EV charging points. Accessed independently from the courtyard is an annexe, ideal for multi-generation living or a teenager suite. A personnel door off the courtyard grants access to the single garage, which has double timber doors fronting Broadgate for vehicular access. To the rear of the property is a landscaped rear garden with a walled northwest boundary and hedged rear boundary. To the northeast boundary is a large timber fence affording privacy from the neighbouring properties.

Energy Efficient

The Barns captures and stores its own energy, reducing utility bills. Solar energy is created through heritage approved solar roof tiles and onsite battery storage, which stores enough energy daily to cover the average daily consumption whilst having enough capacity to charge two electric vehicles overnight. If the solar energy captured is insufficient to fill the batteries, they will automatically charge from the grid at low tariff feed in rates. Home and vehicle energy costs are potentially reduced by up to 90%.
