Converted barn near Grantham, Lincolnshire

Contemporary barn conversion in Lenton, near Grantham, Lincolnshire


Four bedroom barn converted to a very high specification with great attention to detail, eco friendly additions and flexible accommodation. The barn is set in landscaped gardens in the Lincolnshire village of Lenton close to the market town of Grantham


The design and finish of Manor Farm Barn is impeccable throughout and provides a fantastic mix of rural and modern living.

Dating from 1887 these former farm buildings are probably one of the last barns built by the Ancaster Estate and are a fine example of a courtyard configuration, constructed of both stone and brick under a pantile roof.

Painstakingly converted to a stylish, contemporary home by the current owners, the accommodation in this four bedroom conversion offers flexibility as a fabulous large family home and is ideal for entertaining with ample room for house guests. It has been designed to incorporate original features and retains exposed beams and panels of brickwork.

The whole property boasts a high quality finish and attention to detail throughout, with solid oak framed windows, oak and Portuguese limestone flooring, Crosswater bathroom fittings, Porcelanosa and Mandarin Stone ceramic, glass and travertine tiles to mention a few.

First floor accommodation has been created to provide bedrooms rather than sacrificing reception space, thus offering well-proportioned rooms throughout.

By keeping the original openings many rooms have twin aspects and clever use of glazing gives extraordinary light to the entire property.

Much thought has been given to lighting through out the house, creating bright or mood lighting for different occasions. At night, exterior lights bathe the courtyard walls with a warm glow.

Outside

Manor Farm Barn enjoys 360 degree views over 1.25 acres of beautiful gardens and to undulating Lincolnshire countryside beyond.

The grounds are fully fenced and gravelled areas provide abundant parking space.

The easily maintained landscaped gardens have lawn areas and well-stocked beds with year round colour and raised patios in the courtyard garden provide ample space for alfresco dining.

Eco Friendly

Converted with economic running costs in mind, a high level of insulation has been achieved by incorporating interior thermal block walls, cavity, roof and floor insulation.

An oil-fired boiler provides under floor heating and two solar panels supplement hot water. Solar gain is achieved by the clever use of glazing to the south elevation of the building.

A rainwater harvesting system has been installed to provide non-potable water for the WC's.

Location

Lenton is a small village, 10 miles from the Georgian market town of Grantham and approximately 30 miles away from the major cities of Lincoln, Nottingham, Leicester and Peterborough.

Fast access to London via trains from Grantham take just over an hour to reach Kings Cross.
