This substantial five-bedroom barn conversion sits within a private gated community on 0.57 acres, combining period character with spacious modern living. The L-shaped layout delivers flexible family accommodation across roughly 3,327 sq ft (3,018 sq ft main house plus a 309 sq ft brick outbuilding), including a 32 ft kitchen/breakfast room, three further reception rooms and four bathrooms. Mature gardens, a heated outdoor pool and extensive off-street parking add lifestyle appeal and seclusion.
The property is ideal for a growing family seeking space, privacy and countryside character close to Ampthill amenities and well-rated local schools. High ceilings, exposed beams and traditional detailing give charm, while contemporary updates ensure comfortable day-to-day living. The gated driveway and private plot create a secure, park-like setting with wooded boundaries and a paved terrace beside the pool.
Buyers should note the home lies within the curtilage and conservation area of a Grade II listed farmhouse. That listed status and conservation-area location will restrict alterations and may complicate planning or renovations. The large grounds and pool also bring ongoing maintenance responsibilities, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are practical factors to weigh against the strong family and lifestyle benefits.
Overall this is a rare, characterful family home offering scale, privacy and leisure amenities in a very affluent area. It suits buyers wanting a sizeable, distinctive property with room for formal and informal living, who are comfortable managing listed-conservation constraints and estate maintenance.
