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 to London with trains to London from 39 minutes from Princes Risborough station.
On the ground floor the accommodation offers plenty of versatility in layout, with a characterful reception hall leading through to the main rooms all with wonderful exposed beams. Overlooking the garden, the vaulted sitting room is an impressive space with a stunning inglenook fireplace, minstrels gallery and French doors to the garden. Further reception space includes a dining room and snug. The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with an excellent range of units 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 all 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 and room above. 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.
