Upstairs, there is another reception area with a large, bespoke arched window which the property advertising website, Rightmove, describes as "stunning" and "ideal for a home office or snug".

Beyond the reception is a plant room which houses the control panels for the solar heating and heating systems and a lounge which has a galleried ceiling, exposed beams, a log burner and a skylight.

But the listing claims the main "hub" of the home is its "impressive" open plan living, kitchen and dining area.

This room has an island and breakfast bar, space for a large dining table and chairs and a corner lounge area with a log burner.

There is another galleried ceiling with skylight windows while further picture windows and a Juliette balcony provide yet more views of the open countryside.

Outside, there are two large garages which could house several vehicles as well as a mechanical workshop with a mezzanine and other workshop space.

With direct access to Tandle Hills country park, the home is also surrounded by lawned gardens, a multitude of patio areas and a summer house which has its own log burner and electric and water supply.

The summer house has its own decking area which has space for a hot tub and a relaxing alfresco dining area.

Rightmove describes the barn conversion as "stunning" as it has been "renovated to the highest possible standards with luxurious interior and superb panoramic views".
