Priory Barn

Occupying the most idyllic rural setting in the Parish of Lower Raydon, Priory Barn is an individual unlisted period barn conversion set in some 0.3 acres. Refurbished and upgraded to a particularly high standard throughout by the current owners, the tastefully presented and spacious accommodation has much appeal. Accessed via a porch to the rear, the inviting hallway provides a focal wood burner on a white brick floor, with a solid oak staircase to a half landing and the first floor. The beautifully fitted kitchen with pantry offers a comprehensive range of cupboards, drawers and integral appliances all under a black granite work surface with butlers sink and oak cupboard under. The full width double reception room with solid oak flooring and wood burner provides delightful views over the principal front gardens via bi-fold doors and adjacent window. The remaining ground floor accommodation comprises a utility room and shower room which lends itself well for the adjacent bedroom which is currently used as a dining room. The first floor provides 2 double bedrooms, with the main bedroom being particularly spacious with built-in cupboards, exposed timbers and window overlooking the front gardens and fields beyond. The twin aspect second bedroom arguably provides the best views over adjacent countryside to the east. Serving both bedrooms is the stylishly presented bathroom with large eves storage cupboard.

Adjoining open farmland to its entire eastern boundary, the delightful and well-maintained gardens are predominantly to the south which are set either side of a gated sweeping gravel drive, leading onto block paving with a detached cart lodge and garage. The gardens chiefly consist of areas of lawn, wildflower meadow to the south east corner and a south facing terrace accessed internally via the bi-fold doors to the sitting room. A further enclosed terrace is to the north, which is partly walled.

Agents note
Subject to planning, the barn could be extended to the eastern elevation which would not require listed building consent.

Priory Barn is set in a picturesque rural hamlet in the Dedham Vale AONB and located close to the River Brett and neighbouring Shelley, which just to the west of the river. Hadleigh, which provides excellent facilities including supermarket, shops, restaurants, pubs and school is only 3 miles to the north.
