Beautiful converted barn, brimming with character in an idyllic semi-rural location.
Description
This beautiful period property was originally a barn and converted into a residential property in 1986 and now offers accommodation of character and charm. The property has retained a host of original features including an abundance of exposed timbers throughout, showcasing the rich, architectural character of the building. Set in landscaped gardens, Great Barn enjoys a sought after semi-rural location with delightful countryside views, offering one of the best combinations of country space and a quick commute by train to London (39 minutes from Princes Risborough station).
On the ground floor the accommodation offers plenty of versatility in layout, with a large open reception hall leading through to the main rooms all with wonderful exposed beams and high ceilings. Overlooking the garden, the vaulted sitting room is an impressive space with a stunning inglenook fireplace, minstrels gallery and French doors leading to a terrace and the garden. Further reception space includes a dining room and snug. The large kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with an excellent range of units including 4 oven Aga complemented by granite worktops. In addition is a utility room and guest cloakroom with a shower enclosure. The principal bedroom is located on this floor and benefits from an en suite shower room and two walk-in dressing rooms.
On the first floor the heavily beamed landing is a real feature and leads to a family bathroom and three further characterful bedrooms with views over the garden and countryside beyond. An additional room would be perfect as a study or useful space for storage. The far bedroom leads through to the gallery, overlooking the sitting room and ideal as a snug or a reading nook.
The Great Barn enjoys a quiet and picturesque setting with a meandering stream bordering the gardens to the front. A long gravelled driveway leads to a parking area alongside a triple garage with an attached workshop. Above the entire garage is an unfinished space with the potential for conversion. The well-tended gardens wrap around the house on two sides with large areas of lawn and well stocked shrub and floral beds together with a variety of trees including several flowering cherry trees. Nestled in the corner is a kitchen garden area with a vegetable bed alongside apple and pear trees. A terrace area adjoins the sitting room giving an ideal spot for outside dining and to enjoy the garden. To the side there is gated access to a charming and spacious courtyard giving a further seating and dining space featuring raised flower beds and an old traditional water well. The gardens adjoin neighbouring fields affording superb countryside views.
