3 bed Detached House Sold
SITUATION:
Tucked away in a private courtyard, nestled in the quaint Chiltern village of Kingston Blount is Long Barn, an impressive three bedroomed detached barn conversion, painstakingly crafted and refurbished by local developers Greyswood Ltd.
Surrounded by scenic countryside, with wonderful views, walks and cycling opportunities this is an area of outstanding natural beauty and a popular choice for those seeking an escape to the country.
For those who require easy access to major transport networks this area also offers great flexibility. Being close to the M40 and M25, one hour to Heathrow airport, and less than six miles to Princes Risborough with its direct London Marylebone rail connection, this property offers the perfect blend of country life and connectivity.
INTERIOR:
Long Barn is approached via glass panelled doors opening into a magnificent entrance hall -radiating space and an abundance of natural light. The floors are finished with large porcelain tiles which extend through to the kitchen area.
The exposed brickwork and wooden beams create an immediate sense of homeliness and character upon entering the barn.
The hallway is equipped with a double floor-to-ceiling storage cupboard and gives on to a cloakroom and a utility room.
In contrast to the rustic charm of the barn, the expansive, fully fitted Rationale kitchen offers the best in high- tech, high quality appliances. With an induction hob, four ovens for baking, steaming and microwaving, Miele appliances and a remote-controlled Neff exactor fan, no attention to detail has been spared. The Lutron Intelligent lighting and integrated Sonos surround sound (with ceiling speakers) only enhance the kitchen further and with underfloor heating, this is the perfect room for cooking and entertaining. The kitchen storage consists of mainly large drawers and units, and there is a handy walk-in larder.
The open-plan layout of the barn allows for the spectacular vaulted ceilings in the sitting / dining room, with their stunning beam-work, to be admired from setting foot inside the property and there is a lovely flow throughout the living area.
The true history and character of this wonderful barn is particularly tangible in this enchanting sitting room where the floors are solid oak (with underfloor heating) creating a cosiness and warmth, contrasting with the vast height of the vaulted ceilings. This is the oldest and original section of the barn believed to date back to pre-1800s. The Lutron lighting also extends to this room as does the Sonos sound system, with conveniently fitted wall speakers for a complete listening experience. There are fitted blinds throughout the kitchen, sitting room and dining room.
The principal bedroom and its wonderful private suite, accessed from the entrance hall via a hand-crafted steel spiral staircase, occupies the entirety of the upper floor of the barn.
On ascending to the beautiful oak floored dressing room there are three double fitted wardrobes and space for additional furniture. The dressing room leads to the private bathroom whose luxurious suite consists of double sinks with under vanity lighting, a free-standing bathtub and a separate shower cubicle. Storage-wise the en-suite boasts two fitted double cupboards which extend floor-to-ceiling. The bathroom has a large, heated towel rail and is completed with ceramic floor and wall tiles.
The truly magnificent principal bedroom adds the finishing touches to this original section of Long Barn. An expansive, beam-embossed vaulted ceiling creates an abundance of light and space. And, nestling discreetly away from the rest of the property, the upper floor provides a delightfully private and harmonious environment to be enjoyed uninterruptedly.
Two further spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom are situated on the ground floor, at the opposite end of the barn. This section of the property is reached by turning right on entering, via a wooden floored corridor. If desired, this area can be treated as an independent quarter, separate from the main barn, and both bedrooms have external access points of their own through patio doors.
Bedroom Two is equipped with an en-suite bathroom, consisting of a shower, sink and WC. There is under-vanity lighting in this bathroom, and it has ceramic tiled flooring and walls. This bedroom boasts a double floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobe and is carpeted.
Bedroom Three also has fitted double wardrobes and is carpeted.
The family bathroom is situated in the proximity of the bedrooms and enjoys both a fitted bathtub, a separate spacious shower cubicle and large heated towel rail. The family bathroom is also finished with lite niches, under-vanity lighting and completed with ceramic tiling.
EXTERIOR:
The detached barn is accessed via a private driveway and has parking for multiple vehicles. There is a small terrace and side garden which wraps around the property laterally, and the front garden will be landscaped in accordance with the purchaser's choice.
Planning permission has already been granted to build a double garage. This can be discussed with the developer if it is required immediately or can be added at any time in the future, if preferred.
We are thrilled to present this wonderful property to the market with no chain, ready to be snapped up and enjoyed immediately.
