Description

An exquisite barn conversion blending rural tranquillity with village convenience. Tucked away at the end of a private driveway in the heart of Glenfield, The Old Barn is an extraordinary home that seamlessly marries historic character with contemporary design. Converted by the current owners in 2001, this former agricultural building has been reimagined into a striking residence of over 3,700 sq. ft., offering a rare balance of period features and modern luxury.

The handsome red-brick exterior opens into beautifully considered interiors where vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and original timbers sit comfortably alongside bespoke cabinetry, elegant bathrooms and light-filled living spaces. The result is a home of warmth and sophistication, equally suited to family life and entertaining. Despite its discreet rural feel, complete with open field views to the rear, the property is just a short stroll from Glenfield’s shops, cafés, and amenities — placing convenience on the doorstep without compromising its private, countryside setting.

This prestigious barn conversion offers a wealth of accommodation and lifestyle features. The property extends to over 3,700 sq. ft., with four bedrooms including a showpiece principal suite with dressing room and luxury bathroom. There are four high-specification bathrooms in addition to a ground-floor WC, alongside a bespoke farmhouse kitchen with central island, generous reception rooms including a lounge, garden room and entertainment room with bar, and a versatile gym or study. Outside, landscaped gardens, a sun terrace, double garage and extensive driveway parking complete the appeal.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall and boot room provide a welcoming introduction to the home, combining practicality with character, and offering storage with access to a guest WC. The kitchen is the heart of the home, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a central island, integrated appliances and exposed brickwork. Flooded with light from dual-aspect windows, it provides both function and style, ideal for family gatherings. From here, a bright garden room with wrap-around windows creates an airy retreat overlooking the landscaped rear garden. The lounge is a charming reception space with exposed beams, a feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the terrace, blending rustic warmth with modern comfort. To the far side of the ground floor lies a spectacular entertainment room with a log burner and bar area — a versatile setting for hosting guests, cinema nights or family celebrations. A further gym or study offers flexibility as a home office or workout space, while an additional ground-floor bedroom provides options for guests or multi-generational living, featuring a tasteful ensuite shower room. Completing the level is a practical utility room with direct access outdoors, complemented by a sleek shower room.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. The principal suite is a statement space with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, dressing room and luxurious en-suite complete with roll-top bath, double vanity and walk-in shower. A second bedroom is a generous double with vaulted ceiling and countryside outlooks, while a third bedroom includes a mezzanine loft level — ideal as a study, playroom or creative retreat. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard with a walk-in shower, freestanding bath and stylish fittings, serving the additional bedrooms.

Outside, The Old Barn is approached via a private driveway that opens into a shared courtyard, where the property benefits from a double garage and extensive private driveway parking beyond. To the rear, the landscaped garden provides a wonderful backdrop to the home, offering both lawned and terraced areas designed for entertaining and relaxation, with uninterrupted countryside views beyond.

The Old Barn represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that is at once steeped in character and finished with contemporary flair. Its unique blend of village-centre convenience, private setting, and countryside outlook makes it a truly standout residence — one that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
