Summary - THE BLACK BARN, 8 CHOAKES YARD GREAT BILLINGTON LEIGHTON BUZZARD LU7 9DU
1 bed 1 bath Barn Conversion
Characterful one-bedroom barn with countryside views and enclosed garden.
Vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and bifold doors
A distinctive one-bedroom barn conversion with vaulted ceilings and wide countryside views, ideal for a buyer wanting character close to open farmland. The open-plan ground floor combines a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a living area framed by exposed beams and bifold doors that open to a small, enclosed garden with a barbecue hut and workshop. Off-street block‑paved parking and outside power, light and water add practical convenience.
The mezzanine provides extra flexible space for a home office or guest area but has limited head height and is accessed via a spiral staircase — not ideal for mobility issues. Heating is via electric underfloor in parts and a boiler; the bedroom has an oil-fired radiator and the property’s main fuel is electricity. Double glazing is present but was installed before 2002.
Practical strengths include a low flood risk, fast broadband, very low crime, and an affordable Council Tax Band C. The plot is small and the home sits in a hamlet setting, so it suits someone seeking rural peace rather than extensive outdoor space. Buyers should note the property was built/converted in the early 2000s and routine maintenance or updating may be required over time.
This home will suit first-time buyers or downsizers who value character and open views over a larger garden. It offers immediate move-in convenience with scope to personalise finishes and make the mezzanine work for your lifestyle.
