Summary:
Bryan Bishop and partners are delighted to bring to the market this absolutely stunning four double bedroom, three bathroom barn conversion set in 6.6 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The house is steeped in local history, with the original building being the milking parlour, dairy and fruit store of the Aston Dene home farm which served a 50 acre church owned estate. The name of the house comes from an 18th century minister resident in the area, Augustus Oddie. The conversion was carried out to the most exacting standards and it shows in every fine detail of this property. The architect has achieved the near impossible by designing and building a wonderful modern family home which celebrates its history in the most stylish way. Many original 17th century timbers have been incorporated into the structure and they do a fabulous job of emphasising the soaring roof spaces whilst providing separation of rooms within rooms, whilst clever use of extensive glazing throughout ensures a light, bright environment, whilst underfloor heating keeps the house cosy and the styling clean. This really is a perfect lesson in how to integrate seamlessly and sympathetically the traditional feel of the old with the specification and facilities of the new.
