Swallows Barn Main Street, Melbourne, York

Tucked away just off the main street, is this fantastic conversion of a circa 1800 brick built barn. Stubbs Brothers, a member of the Federation of Master Builders have taken every step to maintain the building's character whilst tailoring its design to suit modern day living.

One of the most attractive aspects of these conversions is the use of oak and glass. The oak seamlessly integrates with the older style brickwork, whilst the glass allows an abundance of natural light to enter, creating a warm feel throughout. The open plan design on the ground floor will surely appeal to any discerning buyer as the space can be utilised for varying individual requirements. A number of original wooden beams have been left within the property providing a perfect fusion between the old and new.

The kitchen, utility and the majority of the flooring has not yet been fitted, this is so a purchaser can work along side the builder to tailor the final product to their own personal taste. An allowance of £10,000 has been made for the installation of the kitchen but could be upgraded at an additional cost to the purchaser. There is a ground floor cloakroom, which has been fitted with a low level w/c and hand basin. In addition, the property benefits from under floor heating to the downstairs and there is an air source heat pump that provides heating to the rest of the property.

To the first floor there is the master bedroom with exposed beam and en-suite shower, low level w/c and hand basin. There are two further bedrooms and a three piece family bathroom with bath, low level w/c and hand basin with storage below.

Externally there has been a lot of time and effort in designing and landscaping both the front and rear gardens, whilst retaining space for off street parking. The front in mainly laid to lawn with feature borders and a beautiful Indian stone paved path down the side. Trellis has been erected on top of the dividing brick wall to provide privacy. The rear garden is low maintenance with an Indian stone paved patio seating area with borders of planted shrubs, the perfect for enjoying the sun in the summer months.

The property has an Architects Certificate
