Bramber Barn is a bright, expertly converted period property featuring elegant knapped flint and brick elevations beneath a pitched Welsh slate roof. It is situated just a short walk from the village hall, the 12th-century church, the National Trust’s Monk’s House, and the traditional Abergavenny Arms pub.

This skilful and well crafted barn conversion was completed in 2001 and has created a residential home where tranquility reigns. Our client who has been the propertys only owner and resident since the conversion, has thrived in this harmonious environment where one is free to open windows and doors without any concern as to audilble noise, other than birdsong.

The Barn is accessed through a stunning vaulted reception hall featuring a dogleg staircase leading to the galleried first floor. The spacious kitchen and breakfast room is equipped with an extensive range of light wood cabinetry. This area, which houses an oil-fired boiler installed circa 2022, enjoys triple-aspect views and flows seamlessly into the dining room, providing convenient access to both the capacious conservatory and the reception hall, which includes a cloakroom.

Bathed in natural light from its east-to-west orientation, the sitting room flows into the dining area, with double casement doors opening onto a flagstone sun terrace and the walled garden beyond.

The first floor accommodation finds four bedrooms; the principal bedroom is en suite with a valuable dressing area. Each room has vaulted ceilings with feature imported (French) oak beams. Additionally, there is a spacious family bathroom equipped with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a hand basin, and a W.C. Trap hatch to insulated roof void is found above the landing.

Outside: The property is approached via a broad gated driveway, providing secure off-road parking for vehicles with access via the brick-paved driveway leading to the vaulted double garage with electric light and power; an electric car charging point was installed in 2020. A courtesy door from the garage leads to the walled garden with a sun terrace, with a south/easterly aspect. Filled with evergreen shrubs, climbers and fragrant plants and it features a palm tree planted by the owner, who has also nurtured a thriving garden pond.

The rear garden affords complete privacy with garden gate that is hidden in plain sight; this leads to a village footpath and the Barn's adjoining fenced paddock, that is bordered by mature hedging to the north and south boundary with mini orchard comprising plum, apple and pear trees. Immediate easterly views over the adjoining farmland extend to the horizon, out over the outstanding natural beauty of the South Downs National Park.
