High Barn is a striking three-bedroom semi-detached barn conversion completed in 2022, set in Burton End close to Stansted. The house makes an immediate impression with vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and a double-height open-plan living, dining and kitchen space that floods with natural light. Underfloor heating across the ground floor and an air-source heat pump provide modern, low-carbon heating while integrated Neff appliances and a separate utility make everyday living convenient.
The layout suits families who value flexible entertaining space and a work-from-home mezzanine. The principal bedroom occupies the first floor and benefits from exposed beams, air conditioning and an en suite; two further generous bedrooms and a modern four-piece bathroom sit on the ground floor, offering practical sleeping arrangements. A wraparound lawn and generous terrace provide private outside space, plus a gravel driveway and gated courtyard for off-street parking.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, council tax is expensive, and local crime levels are recorded as high. The property sits in a hamlet-style settlement near Stansted Airport and Bishop’s Stortford (easy road and rail links), which is convenient but may bring occasional airport traffic and noise. Overall, this is a spacious, characterful home combining modern building standards with barn conversion appeal—best suited to buyers prioritising space, design and rural setting who can accommodate the listed local constraints.
