PROPERTY SUMMARY Nobles Barn was re-built approximately 30 years ago in the style of the former barn with the primary vaulted ceiling sitting room accommodating the northern wing and the three-storey living accommodation to the southern wing. It has an abundance of character with wood cladding and a high-pitched slate roof and is of extensive architectural interest. The property has 4516 sq ft of living space including a detached garage/studio and large workshop. Set in a hamlet where development is rare, this is truly a property not to be missed. The interior of the barn has been designed with modern life very much in the forefront, it is beautiful with many exposed beams, a vaulted ceiling galleried landing, wooden staircases and supporting beams. Although there are large open internal spaces the barn is warm and airy, as the honey colouring of the oak timbers provides a welcome and natural feel, the main windows in the living room fill the space created from the removal of the original barn doors. The beautiful kitchen has an open plan layout leading onto a terrace for al-fresco dining, the barn has been sensitively designed and is a great place for family to gather, the high ceilings and windows have twin doors which lead to a rear garden. The plot itself extends 0.9 of an acre which includes an L shaped sweeping driveway and extensive car parking facilities with a double garage which has separate occasional living space over which could be used as studio or ideal for those wishing to work from home.

The garden is predominately to the front of the property with far reaching views over fields towards woodland in the distance. Nobles Barn is situated in the South Downs National Park, close to the village of Blendworth and enjoys spectacular open views across the South Downs and farmland, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty with walking and riding trails easily accessible. Despite being in a rural setting it is well placed for access into London either via the A3 (M) or via the mainline railway stations from either Havant or Petersfield. Horndean village centre is close by with its local shops, there are outstanding schools in the major south coast cities nearby or those looking for leisure activities Hayling Island is nearby or racing at Goodwood or if it is historical naval interest the City of Portsmouth are fairly closeby. The accommodation comprises: 46' open plan sitting and dining area with high vaulted ceiling which measures approximately 20' in height to the northern wing, from this area is a staircase leading up to an upper galleried landing which leads to a bedroom with ample storage, on the upper ground floor level are three bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom and separate shower room. On the ground floor south wing is a 22' open plan kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room, cloakroom and study. Within the grounds is a detached double garage block which provides garaging for two cars with a cloakroom and shower room on the ground floor and studio/occasional bedroom on the first floor. The barn benefits from having a traditional log burner, the main areas have ceiling heating and the lower kitchen level and sitting / dining levels have underfloor heating. Having a wealth of character, this Grade II Listed home has a home office/studio the property is ideally suited for the growing family or those wishing to entertain.
