Set in about 2 acres of mature, landscaped grounds, this five-bedroom barn conversion blends characterful timber beams with generous modern living spaces. The main house offers vaulted reception rooms, an open-plan farmhouse kitchen with island, and a lower-ground entertainment/games room — ideal for family life and entertaining. A raised walled terrace and covered outdoor kitchen extend the living outdoors in privacy.
Practical ancillary accommodation includes a double garage and a detached log cabin currently used as an office/gym with WC, offering flexible space for home working or leisure. The property is tucked away on the village fringe yet is a short drive from Gerrards Cross mainline and Chalfont & Latimer tube stations for London access. There is no flood risk and the plot offers strong screening from mature trees and hedges.
Buyers should note material running costs and infrastructure: heating is by oil-fired boiler with radiators, broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and council tax is very expensive. The barn was converted in the late 1990s/early 2000s and, while presented well, may require ongoing maintenance typical of timber-clad and character properties. This is a substantial semi-rural family home with excellent entertaining potential and flexible outbuildings, best suited to buyers seeking space, privacy and countryside living within commute reach of London.
