BENNET SAMWAYS are delighted to offer for sale this charming Grade II Listed three bedroom semi-detached stone barn conversion, enjoying a truly wonderful edge of village setting with glorious panoramic countryside views including The Weaver Hills. Set within immaculate gardens of approximately 0.19 acres, together with an adjoining 2.15 acre paddock and substantial detached double garage/outbuilding, this is an exciting opportunity for those seeking a country lifestyle, equestrian interest or simply their own slice of ‘The Good Life’. The gross internal area is 1,350sq.ft.

Beautifully presented and rich in character, the property combines the warmth and charm expected of a traditional barn conversion with comfortable and well-planned accommodation. Exposed beams, an impressive Inglenook fireplace and vaulted ceilings all contribute to its appeal, while outside the gardens and paddock make the most of what is a particularly special setting.

Interior - The accommodation is entered into the dining room, a welcoming central space with a beamed ceiling and useful understairs storage cupboard. This provides access through to the principal reception rooms and staircase rising to the first floor. The sitting room is a delightful room packed with character, featuring a beamed ceiling and an impressive brick Inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove – an inviting focal point and perfect for cosy evenings. The fitted kitchen has a range of wooden cabinets and complementary worktops, together with a newly installed Alfa range for cooking and plumbing for a dishwasher. Again, the beamed ceiling adds to the character and traditional feel of the room. A particularly useful utility room is fitted with further wooden cabinets and worktops, with plumbing for a washing machine together with space for a fridge/freezer and tumble dryer. A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The landing provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with skylights bringing additional natural light into the first-floor accommodation. The master bedroom is an excellent size and benefits from built-in wardrobes together with a recently refitted luxury ensuite shower room. Bedroom two is another particularly attractive room, its stunning vaulted ceiling creating a wonderful sense of height and character. The third bedroom provides a useful single bedroom, nursery or home office if preferred. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Exterior – The setting is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attributes. From the moment you arrive, the far-reaching countryside views immediately capture your attention, with a magnificent panorama extending towards The Weaver Hills and across the surrounding countryside. The property itself sits within approximately 0.19 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, approached over a generous gravel driveway providing excellent parking. The gardens have clearly been much loved and carefully tended, with manicured box balls, mature shrubs and colourful planting complemented by traditional dry stone walling. Well-tended lawns provide attractive recreational space, while a raised paved patio has been cleverly positioned to take full advantage of those breathtaking views – a superb spot for alfresco dining, entertaining or simply sitting back and enjoying the surroundings. A substantial detached double garage/outbuilding, measuring approximately 26' x 16', provides excellent garaging, workshop or storage space and offers further potential depending upon a purchaser's requirements. For those with equestrian interests, it could potentially lend itself to use as a stable or associated storage.
The adjoining 2.15 acre paddock is accessed via gates directly from the driveway, making it particularly practical for keeping a horse or pony, grazing or smallholding purposes.

Altogether, this is a wonderful lifestyle property – combining the architectural character of a Grade II Listed stone barn conversion with immaculate gardens, useful outbuildings, land and some truly exceptional countryside views. An ideal proposition for anyone dreaming of escaping to the country without taking on an overwhelming amount of acreage.

Owner's perspective - "We bought and have lived in Chaff Barn since its conversion almost 30 years ago. It was an excellent choice and having left a similar conversion in Ayrshire with views of the Isle of Arran, we were drawn to the spectacular views of the countryside afforded by the location of Chaff Barn. We really have enjoyed a comfortable life living here and will miss it when we reluctantly leave.
Stanton is a pleasant peaceful and friendly village and we have very good neighbours"
