Meadow Barn is a striking Grade II barn conversion offering over 3,300 sq ft of flexible family accommodation set in very large private grounds in the Chilterns AONB. Exposed timber beams, vaulted ceilings and full-height glazing create an impressive central living space that flows to a paved patio and expansive garden, with a paddock beyond — ideal for children and outdoor hobbies.
The ground floor is arranged for family life and entertaining: a large sitting/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room with a professional-style range, garden room, snug, utility and three reception/study areas. Five bedrooms across split levels include three en suites, plus several dedicated work or library spaces — useful for home working or study. Off-street parking via a gated gravel drive provides convenient access.
Practical considerations are important. The property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate improvements. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, and the main heating is an LPG boiler (not connected to a community supply) — these factors may influence running costs and future retrofit options. Council tax is very expensive.
Set in a quiet hamlet near Chesham, the house benefits from low crime, fast broadband and good schools nearby, with commuter rail access to London from Chesham and Berkhamsted. For buyers seeking a character-rich family home with flexible space and substantial grounds — and who are comfortable with listed-building constraints and potential energy upgrades — Meadow Barn offers distinctive country living.
