Barn conversion with private pool - Yew Tree Barn

In the grounds of a rare house painted by John Constable stands a newly converted barn in the heart of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Being slightly elevated on the edge of a small village with access to a secluded swimming pool, makes for a standout friends and family getaway. With tasteful interior design, including large and impressive artworks, the barn is aesthetically pleasing, enjoys beautiful light and is extremely comfortable and well equipped. Beneath mature trees with outdoor dining and pool terraces, there is loads of private space to enjoy rural alfresco living.

Ground Floor
Sitting & Dining Room - At one end of this well-proportioned solid-oak-floored space is a large square coffee table and two voluptuous three seater sofas facing a 42" Smart TV below one of the many striking paintings by well known local artists. At the other end is seating for six to eight people with a settle adapted from an old Spanish headboard, wooden dining table and five matching chairs. This open plan living room provides an antique desk and chair and French windows opening straight onto the outdoor dining terrace.
Kitchen - Fully modernised and with lovely west facing views over a well-kept lawn and country side beyond. Under pristine white marbled worktops is a dishwasher, electric oven and ample storage.
