A spectacular Grade ll Listed barn conversion with extensive ancillary accommodation, set within 0.61 acres of magnificent grounds in a splendid rural, waterfront setting. Tonge Barn is currently run as a highly successful luxury boutique hotel, enjoying an excellent reputation as such, with many regular corporate and private clients, returning year-on-year to stay at the hotel.

However, due to the highly versatile manner in which the accommodation is configured, along with the mixed use status which the property enjoys, Tonge Barns new owners could easily reduce the amount of commercial accommodation and increase the owners accommodation, as they see fit. This would make Tonge Barn ideal for anyone just wishing to let the three self-contained units as you approach the barn and retain the remaining rooms for their own private use.

Furthermore, Tonge Barn has planning consent for a change of use from a hotel to a care home, offering an exciting alternative commercial use. This permission can be viewing under planning reference number: 24/502582/FULL.

The barn itself dates back to 1823 and has a wealth of period features, including exposed beams, exposed brickwork and vaulted ceilings. However, the entire the property has seen a significant amount of investment recently, with all rooms being extensively updated and modernised to a high specification finish. As you enter the main barn, you are greeted by an impressive beamed and vaulted ceiling, with an entrance area overlooked by a galleried landing above.

To the left, there is a lovely sitting area, with exposed floorboards, brickwork, beams, wood panelling and a wood burning stove. To the right of the entrance hall, there is a spacious open plan kitchen/dining area, with a similar array of fine period features. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of wall and floor units, set around a range of integrated appliances, granite work surfaces and a granite breakfast bar.

A huge set of oak sliding doors open into the extended ground floor accommodation (formed from an old bakery) which consists of five double bedrooms, (each with air conditioning and well-appointed en-suites) plus a utility/laundry room.

On the first floor, a galleried mezzanine landing leads to two, large bedrooms, currently used as owners accommodation. Both of these have a wealth of exposed beams, along with dressing areas and en-suites.

In addition to the main barn, there are three, self-contained courtyard rooms as you enter the grounds, each with allocated parking. These have all been beautifully finished, with beamed and vaulted ceilings, air conditioning, bespoke oak doors and well-appointed kitchens and bathrooms. Finally, to the rear of the property, there is another wing, accessed via a wisteria draped walkway. This consists of four garden rooms, each with modern and stylish en-suites and stunning views over the gardens and the countryside beyond.

OUTSIDE:

Tonge Barn is set within glorious grounds of 0.61 acres and is approached via a gated tarmac driveway, which provides extensive parking for numerous cars. There is an attractive courtyard garden, flanked by mature rose bushes, to the front of the property.

To the rear of the property, a gravelled driveway which provides additional parking, leads to a useful workshop, with bi-folding doors. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and planted with a selection of specimen trees to create a wonderful backdrop to this incredible home.

A raised flagstone patio area leads to a superb detached yoga studio (currently used as an office) with oak flooring and huge, bi-folding doors which open onto an expanse of decking and the propertys very own river frontage. This gentle stream has resident fish, ducks and swans and affords magnificent views over the rolling countryside beyond.
