This versatile outbuilding is approximately 1700 square feet, and divided into four large units, each accessed via a combination of double doors and roller shutters. Equipped with lighting, plumbing, and a kitchen area, the barn is ideal for workshops, business use, or extensive storage needs.  As a point of interest, this barn was previously approved to be converted into a 4 bedroom property, although that consent has now lapsed.  The gravel drive continues in a loop around a central planted roundabout, enhancing the practicality and elegance of the layout.  Set within approximately six acres of landscaped grounds, the gardens are as impressive as the house itself. At the far end of the plot, a raised decked area—affectionately known as the gin terrace—offers a peaceful spot to enjoy open countryside views across neighbouring fields and back towards the main house. Elsewhere on the grounds, you’ll find a dedicated children's play area and a chicken run tucked within a woodland copse, adding to the property's charm and family appeal.  To the rear of the house, a newly laid timber deck runs the full width of the property, and leads you to the heated swimming pool.  This 12m x 8m pool is heated via an air source heat pump and benefits from an electric cover. Partially covered by a wooden pergola, this outdoor entertaining space connects seamlessly to the master suite, lounge, and kitchen-diner through multiple sets of patio and bi-fold doors, creating a strong indoor-outdoor flow and tying the garden beautifully into the heart of the home.LocationOld Walkern Nursery enjoys a prime position at the very top of Froghall Lane, offering privacy and tranquillity while remaining just a 10 minute walk down to Walkern’s charming High Street.
