About this property
Exceptional barn conversion offering over 4,500 sq ft of characterful accommodation, set in beautiful landscaped gardens with courtyard, outbuildings and countryside views.
Description
The Barn is a truly exceptional and beautifully crafted barn conversion, set within a convenient rural position just off Down Lane, in the highly regarded village of Compton. Surrounded by mature gardens and open fields to the front, the property offers an exquisite blend of historic character and refined contemporary living, extending to approximately 4,504 sqft of versatile accommodation.
From the driveway, The Barn immediately impresses with its attractive combination of brick, timber cladding and tile-hung elevations, arranged around a charming courtyard with a central water feature that creates a wonderful sense of arrival. Internally, the property showcases a wealth of period features, including exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and brickwork, seamlessly combined with high-quality finishes throughout.
At the heart of the home is a magnificent open plan kitchen and dining space, flooded with natural light and ideal for both everyday living and entertaining on a grand scale. The bespoke kitchen is complemented by generous dining and seating areas beneath striking roof trusses as well as a useful utility room. A series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms provide excellent flexibility, including a formal sitting room with an impressive inglenook fireplace, cosy snug areas, and additional spaces ideal for a home office or media room.
The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The principal suite is a standout feature, offering generous proportions, vaulted ceilings, extensive fitted storage and a luxurious en suite bathroom. There are several further double bedrooms, each individually styled and served by well-appointed bath or shower rooms, making the layout ideal for family living or accommodating guests. One of the bedroom suites has separate access from the others and is neatly accessed off the utility room.
Outside, the gardens are a true highlight. Thoughtfully landscaped and immaculately maintained, they include sweeping lawns, colourful borders, mature trees, raised vegetable beds and orchard-style planting. Multiple terraces and seating areas provide perfect spaces to enjoy the tranquil setting and outdoor entertaining. A charming garden studio and additional outbuildings offer further versatility, whether for hobbies, working from home or storage. There is a double garage to the front of the house.
The Barn located for access to the amenities of Compton, nearby Godalming and Guildford, as well as excellent road connections and rail services to London. Combining character and exceptional craftsmanship, The Barn represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished country home close to all amenities and transport links.
