Property description

A detached barn conversion with three/four bedrooms, with a south-easterly facing garden, off street parking and a studio room above the double garage in the village of Crowell.

The property is in a private gated development of five barns at the foot of the Chiltern Hills near the famous ridgeway trail. The timber framed barn with timber cladding under a clay tile roof was converted in 2007 to a high specification including underfloor heating throughout, oak internal doors, and recessed lighting. The ground floor is mainly open plan with a room running almost the full length of the barn measuring in excess of 42 ft. by 18 ft., which includes the kitchen, sitting room and dining room and incorporates the original floor-to-ceiling cart entrances – now glazed and with doors. There is also a separate study, which could also be used as a further bedroom, a utility room with a sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a cloakroom. An oak staircase leads up to a pitched, galleried first floor landing, off which lead three double bedrooms with Velux windows, one with an en suite shower room, and a bathroom.

Ground Floor

The kitchen area with a tiled floor has a range of handmade base and wall units with solid oak doors and units and granite worksurfaces with an inset butler’s sink. There is a Smeg 5 burner range cooker with an extractor above, an integrated dishwasher, and space for an American style fridge/freezer. The dining area has full height double glazed windows maximising the ingress of natural light, and doors to the front and rear garden, and is open plan to the sitting room with solid oak flooring throughout. The sitting room area is dual aspect and has an electric traditional style stove.

First Floor

The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a window in the gable end. The en suite shower room has a fully tiled walk-in shower, a traditional style vanity unit, and a WC. Bedroom two and three also have vaulted ceilings and fitted storage cupboards. The contemporary family bathroom has a free-standing bath, a walk-in shower, a vanity unit, and a WC.

Outside

The property is accessed via electric gates with an entry intercom which open to a gravel drive. There is off street parking for five cars in front of a double garage, which has an EV charge point and electric doors and power connected. An external staircase leads to a first floor studio which could be used as a home office, gym or craft room and has herringbone LVT flooring, electric heating, and a Velux window. The garden, which is south-easterly facing, is enclosed by brick walls, has been landscaped by the current owners and has shaped paved patios and a water feature.

Situation
