Church Road, Catworth

A recently constructed barn conversion occupying a gated and entirely private 0.9 acre plot with an exceptional specification list. Designed to make the most of the surrounding countryside, the front and rear elevations have impressive glazed facades that offer the most outstanding views, and with an A-rated energy efficiency rating, this home has a PV solar array, air-source heating, triple glazing, underfloor heating and air conditioning.
Finished in 2020, this barn conversion has been built to an exacting standard and is a one-off that must be seen in person in order to appreciate the lifestyle that is on offer.

THE PROPERTY
The impressive, vaulted reception hall immediately sets the tone for the rest of the property, with full-height glazing flooding the space with natural light and twin oak staircases with glass balustrades rising to the first-floor galleried landing. A cloakroom and useful storage cupboards are positioned off the hall, while engineered oak flooring and underfloor heating extend throughout the majority of the ground floor.

To the front of the house are two generous reception rooms, both enjoying a dual aspect and offering flexibility as formal living, dining, family or home office space.
Spanning the width of the property is the most spectacular, open-plan kitchen/living/dining room which extends over 43 feet in length and positioned to make the most of the surrounding views. The rear elevation boasts a two and a half storey glazed section that adds to the feeling of light and space, while bi-fold and French doors provide a seamless connection to the terrace and gardens beyond.

The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with white granite work surfaces, an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry and a comprehensive selection of integrated appliances, including Miele ovens, coffee machine, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A large central island incorporates a breakfast bar, wine cooler and induction hob, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious family area centres around a wood-burning stove, and the dining area sits between here and the kitchen. This entire space makes for the most fantastic entertaining and family-oriented area.

Beside the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room, finished to complement the main kitchen and providing additional storage, appliance space and external access.

The first-floor landing is a particularly spacious and bright area and boasts spectacular elevated views over the surrounding rolling countryside. There are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes. Two bedrooms enjoy ensuite facilities, with the principal suite also featuring a dressing area and walk-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is finished to an excellent standard and includes both a freestanding bath and an oversized shower enclosure.

OUTSIDE
Occupying a plot of roughly 0.9 acres, the grounds are intended to be of low maintenance whilst offering excellent entertaining possibilities. There is a large, paved terrace that spans the width of the property, and the lawns are entirely private and generously proportioned, all of which enclosed by hedging and post-and-rail fencing, allowing the surrounding countryside to form a natural backdrop.

The property is approached via electrically operated double gates which open onto a sweeping gravel driveway, providing extensive parking and turning space for a multitude of vehicles.

A detached double garage and adjoining workshop/store, both equipped with power, lighting and electrically operated roller doors are positioned in a discreet position at the edge of the plot and are easily accessible from the driveway.

LOCATION
Catworth is a well-regarded rural village positioned just south of the A14, offering excellent access to the A1, M1 and wider road network. The village benefits from an active community, with a church, village hall, sports facilities and a variety of local clubs and events throughout the year.
