Set within a 1.33-acre plot on the edge of Great Wymondley, this striking modern barn conversion combines contemporary design with strong eco credentials. The open-plan ground floor, double-height living area and large windows create a light, sociable core ideal for family life and entertaining. Four double bedrooms all have en suites, giving flexible private space for family members or guests.
The house was largely rebuilt in 2014/15 around the original engine-shed frame and specified to high thermal standards: ground-source heat pump supplies underfloor heating, triple glazing and roof-integrated photovoltaic panels contribute to an impressive A-rated EPC. There are two double garages and generous off-street parking off a sweeping gravel drive, plus planning permission to convert the attached double garage to additional accommodation if required.
The extensive, landscaped gardens include formal lawns, a walled kitchen garden with greenhouse, orchard and mature specimen planting, offering real scope for outdoor living and hobby growing. Practical points to note: water is supplied from a private borehole; roughly half the plot lies inside the Great Wymondley Conservation Area and the remainder falls within Green Belt — both bring design controls. There are also restrictive covenants and potential easements affecting the property.
This home will suit families seeking rural privacy with excellent transport links into Hitchin and London, buyers prioritising low running costs and environmental performance, or those wanting room to extend (subject to planning). Council tax is described as quite expensive and some legal restrictions on use and future works should be reviewed early.
