Beyond the pool are the gardens, fruit trees and grass fields where an timber framed boules terrain has been installed.

Currently the barn is being enjoyed as a recreation/games facility and features table tennis, American pool, table football and darts as well as a small gym workout area.

 

For potential purchasers interested in expanding their living accommodation there are a set of architect’s drawings available showing the building transformed into a stylish 3 bedroom 2 bathroom  barn conversion.
