For Sale4 Bedroom House in Station Road, Dullingham, CB8 9UP£1,350,000

Grade II Listed thatched barn with south facing gardens & paddock. Deer Park Barn is a spacious barn conversion nestled in a tucked away location overlooking the former deer park which was previously part of the Dullingham House Estate and laid out by Humphrey Repton. Situated within a Conservation area, this impressive barn was sympathetically converted in 1990 and has predominantly weatherboarded elevations beneath a Norfolk reed thatched roof. It has been the subject of a considerable upgrade in the last 10 years, including an extension to create the laundry area, re-siting and fitting the kitchen, moving the staircase, re-configuring the principal bedroom suite and the family bathroom. The lighting in the house was also adapted to enable parts of the house to be 'layer illuminated'. The vaulted reception hall with exposed timbers and underfloor heating provides an impressive entrance to the property with French doors to the gardens and a turning staircase with glazed side panels and a wooden handrail to the galleried landing. To the right is a well-proportioned drawing room with brick fireplace (unused) and an adjoining study/bedroom next to the cloakroom. To the left of the hall is the fabulous sitting/dining area with a remote controlled fire in the sitting area and open studwork into the kitchen. Designed by Nicholas Anthony with a composite granite style island, this is a great vaulted space with wide, triple glazed sliding doors connecting it to the south facing terrace. There is a considerable amount of storage, and appliances include an Everhot range cooker, induction hob, microwave/combi oven, separate oven, warming drawer and a fridge/freezer. In addition there is a modern butler sink with mixer taps, a larder cupboard with drawers, automatic electric V-lux windows, underfloor heating (and in the adjoining boot room), and a 'hidden' door between the kitchen cupboards into the boot room. There is a glazed door to the side garden, a raised dog bed area, space for fridge/freezer, a shelved larder, storage, oil fired boiler and direct access to the laundry room which was added in 2022. It comprises fitted storage cupboards and drawers, a built in ironing board, butler sink, space for washing machine, linen cupboard, recessed dog shower and a part glazed door to the inner courtyard. From the dining area is also a study/playroom with storage cupboards. On the first floor, the galleried landing provides access to two loft spaces (one of which houses the water tank). The principal bedroom suite is at the far end which has been re-configured to provide concealed storage, an en suite with large shower and wash basin, a dressing room with fitted drawers and a cloakroom. Both the cloakroom and shower area have electric underfloor heating. In addition, there are two vaulted double bedrooms and a family bathroom with walk in shower cubicle, bath with shower attachment and a wash basin (also Nicholas Anthony design). The property is approached over a shared shingle drive (this property has a right of way over the first section from the road) to the gated (electric) drive leading to two parking areas, one to the front of the barn and the second beyond, the inner courtyard, with a part brick part rendered outbuilding providing twin garages and a workshop. The south facing garden and grounds are especially worthy of note, with retaining walls and steps from the terrace to the lawn. There are a variety of sitting and dining areas, deep shaped beds with mature planting, a concealed sunken trampoline and vistas into the fenced meadow beyond which incorporates a pond.
