Garden House is a stunning, four-bedroom barn conversion, originally built in 1850 and thoughtfully converted in 2006, this spacious and light-filled home sits on a generous plot with a south-facing garden, off-road parking, outbuildings and a self-contained annexe, well-situated in a peaceful location just outside of Exton.
GROUND FLOOR
The ground floor is designed for both practicality and style, featuring a dining kitchen, three reception rooms, and a ground-floor bedroom with an ensuite shower room. With three conveniently placed entrance halls, access to the property is effortless from multiple aspects.
The dining kitchen boasts an extensive range of fitted units with a variety of integrated appliances, an AGA, a central island, and French doors opening to the garden. An adjoining utility room provides additional storage, space for white goods, and plumbing for an American-style fridge freezer.
A hallway from the kitchen leads to the reception rooms with the dining room positioned centrally, connecting to both the garden room and the main living room. The garden room has a vaulted ceiling, glazing on three sides, and French doors opening out to the garden. Meanwhile, the main living room is spacious and light-filled with dual-aspect glazing and a log-burning stove.
Beyond the living room, a hallway leads to the ground-floor ensuite bedroom, which can also serve as a study. A staircase from this hallway provides access to the first floor.
FIRST FLOOR
Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The primary suite includes an ensuite shower room and an impressive dressing room with ample built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom also benefits from an ensuite, while the third bedroom is served by a stylish Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
SELF-CONTAINED ANNEX
Adding to the home’s versatility, a self-contained annexe offers an open-plan layout with a kitchen, bedroom, living area, and shower room—ideal for guests or extended family.
OUTSIDE
Garden House sits on a plot of approximately a third of an acre with the beautifully maintained, Adam Frost designed gardens wrapping around the southern and western sides. The home is accessed via two separate shared driveways—one leading to gated private parking at the rear and the other to the courtyard, where there is additional parking, a carport, and an outbuilding.
The garden itself is predominantly lawned, with a large patio wrapping around the house, providing multiple seating areas to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day. An array of soft planting, a designated vegetable plot with a double door greenhouse, outdoor storage, and a charming summer house complete the picturesque setting.
