Haffenden Barn
Haffenden Barn is a superb family home combining six bedrooms with 5 reception rooms with extremely versatile accommodation where a self-contained annexe could be easily incorporated. The property has been extremely well maintained over the years and retains some wonderful oak beams, vaulted ceilings and feature fireplaces. There is an impressive main reception hall with stairs to the first floor and view of the minstrel gallery above. There is a sitting room with a wood burning stove, built in cupboards and shelving. This is open into the dining room which has double doors into the glazed walkway with underfloor heating. There are 3 double bedrooms here which share the modern family shower room with Aqualisa shower and there is potential for a self contained annexe here if required.
The generous kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a contemporary range of wall and base units with breakfast island/bar and integrated appliances including two ovens with warming drawers, a combi microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and undercounter fridge drawers. Just off the kitchen is a fitted utility room with storage and houses the boiler. There is also a separate laundry room with space/plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a cloakroom, a study and, saving the best ‘til last, a stunning sunroom with a vaulted ceiling and a wood burning stove.
On the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms, the master bedroom has a luxury ensuite bathroom with an Aqualisa shower over the bath. The other 2 bedrooms share the family shower room.
There are some magnificent views from virtually all of the windows over the garden/grounds and surrounding countryside.

Gardens and Land
The gardens are equally beautiful complimenting the property and extending to about 3.8 acres in total.
To the front there are electronic wooden gates which lead to a long driveway providing plenty of parking for many vehicles in front of the detached timber framed double carport. This has a useful room above, currently used as an office but could provide further accommodation if required.
The gardens are mostly expansive lawned areas with manicured hedges, specimen trees including walnut and fruit trees, rose and flower beds, a vegetable patch and a large pond. The paddocks could easily accommodate horses/ponies and/or cattle and there are converted stables to the east of the property which currently are being used as a very smart garage and workshop area, all with water and power. Just to the corner is the refurbished tennis court which completes this idyllic country residence.
