Church Side, Barrow-Upon-Humber, DN19

AN EXCEPTIONAL PERIOD HOME IN A PEACEFUL VILLAGE SETTING | BEAUTIFUL OPEN CHURCH VIEWS | SYMPATHETICALLY RENOVATED & CONVERTED TO AN OUTSTANDING STANDARD | DECEPTIVELY SPACIOUS & HIGHLY VERSATILE ACCOMMODATION

High View presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated period home, occupying a generous elevated plot within the highly sought-after village of Barrow-upon-Humber. Dating from before 1900, this most attractive property enjoys delightful open views towards the church and combines retained character with impressive contemporary living.

Purchased by the present owners in 2018, the property has undergone an extensive programme of renovation and conversion, following full planning permission for an architect-designed scheme to unite the original cottage and barn. Carefully considered throughout, the transformation preserves the character of the original buildings while creating a cohesive home finished with exceptional attention to detail.

The result is deceptively spacious and highly versatile accommodation, offering a balance of period charm and modern comfort. With its peaceful setting, generous plot and beautiful outlook, High View represents an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a distinctive forever home.

A central entrance hallway provides a welcoming introduction to the home, with traditional natural pine doors and a pine staircase rising to the first floor. The front-facing formal dining room sets the tone for the character found throughout, featuring a vertically sliding sash window and original wood flooring.

Positioned within the former barn, the bright and generously proportioned sitting/family room combines a high beamed ceiling with French doors opening onto the rear courtyard. A separate front lounge offers a cosy retreat for the winter months, complemented by a Victorian-style fireplace, exposed ceiling beams and wood flooring.

To the rear, a spacious boot room incorporates a practical utility area with a sink, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. A convenient cloakroom leads off, fitted with a WC, vanity wash basin and quarry-style tiled flooring.

A further reception room provides a versatile snug, where a beautiful exposed brick fireplace and stone hearth frame a wood-burning stove. This inviting space opens into the impressive vaulted kitchen diner, creating a superb setting for everyday family life and entertaining. Natural flagstone flooring, an exposed brick feature wall and twin French doors overlooking the garden enhance its rustic charm. The farmhouse-style Shaker kitchen features an extensive range of cabinetry, granite and solid wood work surfaces, a Rangemaster cooker and a large inset Belfast sink.

The first floor is arranged around a central landing enjoying stunning views towards the church, with access to two front-facing bedrooms, both retaining wide original floorboards and sash windows. A corridor leads to the impressive principal bedroom, where a vaulted beamed ceiling creates a wonderful sense of character and space. A stylish en-suite complements the room, featuring a generous double walk-in shower, vanity wash basin and WC.

A second inner landing offers a peaceful reading area and leads to a fourth double bedroom, ideal for visiting guests or extended family. Completing the accommodation is a delightful family bathroom appointed with a four-piece suite, including a separate corner shower and an elegant freestanding roll-top bath.

The beautifully landscaped grounds form a standout feature of the property, thoughtfully arranged to provide a delightful mix of colourful gardens, sheltered seating areas and generous outdoor entertaining space. Immediately to the rear, an attractive courtyard combines decorative gravel with stone flagged pathways, complemented by established planting within raised brick borders. Further seating areas, framed by traditional brick walls and decorative timber screening, offer charming spaces for alfresco dining.

Beyond the courtyard and gravelled parking area, an extensive lawn is bordered by well-stocked beds featuring an abundance of flowering plants, mature shrubs and ornamental trees. Stepping stone pathways and timber pergolas draped with climbing plants lead through the gardens, creating distinct areas to explore and enjoy. A timber summerhouse with an adjoining paved terrace provides a peaceful retreat overlooking the lawn, whilst a separate covered seating area offers a sheltered setting for relaxing with family and friends.

For those with an interest in gardening, a dedicated vegetable plot incorporates cultivated beds, a netted growing enclosure and greenhouse, together with useful timber storage sheds. Established hedging, fencing and brick walling frame the grounds, with the nearby church tower providing a picturesque backdrop.

Further benefits include full hardwood sash double glazing and a gas-fired central heating system.
