Long Marston Road, Cheddington, Leighton Buzzard, Buckinghamshire, LU7

Stylish barn conversion with substantial home office/gym and paddock.

Description

This stylish barn conversion forms part of a small development of five properties in a semi rural location and enjoys a plot of about 1.26 acres. Although surrounded by farmland, the property remains well connected with the village centre of Cheddington approximately three quarters of a mile walk away and Cheddington Station approximately one mile.

The barn is approached by a driveway owned by the property over which one other house has vehicular access. Private gates then lead through to a gravelled forecourt affording extensive parking and leading to a double garage. The barn has a large entrance hall with the bedrooms to one side and living space to the other. The main living space is a large double height vaulted room with exposed ceiling joists and trusses, with an imposing central fireplace. To one side there is a sitting area with log burner and to the other a dining area and a well fitted shaker style kitchen from John Lewis of Hungerford. There is a large island with quartz work surfaces, breakfast bar and wine fridge, a range oven, Belfast sink and integrated dishwasher. Off the kitchen there is a utility room with door to garden, great for muddy boot access. There is also a playroom or fourth bedroom.

The main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, additional high level storage and an en suite shower room. The second bedroom also has a vaulted ceiling with fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room. The third bedroom has fitted wardrobes and there is a large family bathroom with wet shower cubicle and limestone egg shaped bath.

The barn has a lawned side and rear garden with screening trees and bushes. There are patio areas, log store and a large heated home office/gym with two rooms, offering scope for multiple work or leisure uses. Across the driveway there is a paddock offering scope to keep animals or for horticulture.
