Why buy this home?
Single-storey Powells Barn was built on to a period farmhouse and converted to provide barn-style accommodation. The finish was to a high specification, with good quality fixtures and fittings, including some features that were hand-crafted in oak.
The handsome home has been designed to offer flexible accommodation, with up to four rooms that can be arranged as bedrooms or spaces with alternative uses, such as studies, playrooms and hobby areas. The substantial drawing and dining room spaces are separated by the large brick fireplace with oak beam, and have French windows on to the terrace. The living space benefits from reclaimed terracotta tiles on the floor which also run through to the kitchen.
The kitchen has been designed in a traditional Shaker style and is sympathetic to the age of the property by also having a feature butler sink. There is space for a small breakfast table and also a utility room with space for a washing machine, tumble/dryer and fridge/freezer, with further access to the garden.
As mentioned previously, the bedrooms can be utilised as per your family's needs, with the current owners using the fourth bedroom as a home office. This room and bedroom three share the four-piece family bathroom that has a separate double shower and Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware. There is also a separate WC for guests. Bedroom two is an ideal guest bedroom as it has its own ensuite, and with the master bedroom being at the end of the barn it feels private and separated from the living area. Naturally this room has a further ensuite and plenty of space for a large bed and wardrobes as shown off by the current owners. This room also has French doors to a private terrace on the garden - the perfect place for a morning cup of tea or coffee.
There is a pump room housing the boiler which makes an ideal space to dry laundry due to its size, as well as storage cupboards and an airing cupboard. The entirety of the barn benefits from underfloor heating ensuring it feels cosy in those colder months.
The grounds are mature and leafy, and offer a semi-rural feeling even though the location is only circa four miles to Central Milton Keynes. Trees such as an oak, ash and cherry offer privacy and a sense of seclusion.
Parking is provided by a double carport with the ability to park in front too. Accessed from within the carport is a storage room which could be utilised as a gym if you wish.
