6 bedroom detached house for sale

Wyke Barns is a stunningly designed contemporary barn conversion which lies in open agricultural semi-rural countryside 3 miles north of the Hogs Back stretch of the North Downs, and located between the villages of Normandy and Ash Green in the hamlet of Wyke. The site is slightly elevated over the surrounding land, giving lovely rural views across to Guildford and beyond. The original barn dates from the mid-19th Century and the construction uses jointed and pegged carpentry on the queen post trusses. The Barn has been superbly converted to retain the original beams whilst at the same time creating light open spaces by the use of large statement fenestration. Both the main Barn and the detached Annexe have been built and finished to a high specification throughout. The main Barn and detached Annexe form a horseshoe around a south-facing courtyard with access into the fabulous gardens.OutsideThe property is accessed off a quiet country lane through a 5-bar wooden gate onto an expansive gravel driveway leading up to the triple garage, with electric doors. The driveway sweeps round the main Barn to a sheltered, south-facing courtyard between the two dwellings ideal for relaxing, entertaining and al fresco dining. The majority of the grounds are laid to lawn with far reaching views stretching across fields towards the town of Guildford, with a glimpse of the Cathedral in the distance. On the south-westerly boundary is a raised area of lawn with herbaceous planting, framed by an ornate dry stone wall. On the other side of the garden is a scented pergola walk with specimen roses and lavender, which leads down to the pond and summer house and timber studio/ office. There is also a large vegetable garden with raised beds, a greenhouse, fruit cage, and various outbuildings with secure storage. In all a superb location with good gardens and a most pleasant view over adjoining farmland.SituationWyke Barns lie in an attractive semi-rural location between the villages of Ash Green and Normandy, north of the A31 Hogsback which connects Guildford and Farnham.
