Kircutt Farm Close, Northall, Buckinghamshire LU7

The Long Barn occupies a peaceful rural setting on the edge of this pretty Buckinghamshire village, surrounded by open countryside. One of just five substantial homes within a private gated enclave built in 2008, the house sits at the far end of the development, enjoying a particularly private position with glorious views across the farmland beyond.

Arranged over three floors and extending to more than 3,500 sqft, the house offers generous and flexible accommodation designed for modern family life. The property benefits from zoned underfloor heating across the ground floor, along with solar panels supported by a 10kWh battery housed in the garage.

Inside, a spacious entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction to the house, with honey-toned oak flooring running through much of the ground floor, including the hall, sitting room and family room. The kitchen and dining space is finished with tiled flooring, providing a practical counterpoint to the warmer timber tones elsewhere.

The principal reception rooms sit to the left of the house. The sitting room is centred around an attractive brick fireplace with inset wood-burning stove, flanked by bespoke cabinetry incorporating book shelving to one side and a media unit to the other. From here the house flows naturally into a light-filled orangery, currently used as a family room. With its dramatic glazed atrium roof and wide bifold doors opening onto the garden, this is a wonderfully versatile space, equally suited to relaxed family living, a music room or a more formal dining setting. Large windows frame views across the garden and surrounding landscape.

The kitchen and dining room form the heart of the house, stretching more than 25 ft across the rear elevation. Oak Shaker cabinetry is topped with polished black granite worktops, and the space is fitted with a comprehensive range of appliances including double ovens, hob, warming drawer, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. A breakfast bar provides space for informal meals, while the dining area easily accommodates a large table and opens onto the garden through glazed French doors. A well-appointed utility room sits alongside, with additional storage, laundry space and its own access to the garden.

Completing the ground floor are a study, cloakroom and internal access to the attached double garage.

Across the upper floors are up to six bedrooms in total, arranged to provide considerable flexibility. The first floor hosts four generously proportioned bedrooms. Three of the larger rooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and their own en suite facilities, while the principal bedroom also enjoys particularly lovely countryside views from twin Juliet balconies. A family bathroom also serves this level.

Stairs continue to the second floor where two further large rooms offer a variety of possibilities, whether as two additional bedrooms, a cinema room, home gym, studio or a slightly-more independent space for adult children.

Outside, the house is approached via a generous block-paved driveway providing ample parking, alongside the double garage and an electric vehicle charging point. Side gates on either side of the house provide convenient access to the rear garden.

The garden itself has been thoughtfully landscaped and enjoys a particularly sunny south-westerly aspect. Mainly laid to lawn and framed by well-stocked borders, it includes a selection of fruit trees - apple, pear and flowering cherry - alongside an ornamental pond and wildlife-friendly hedging. A large patio creates an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a pathway leads to a summer house positioned to capture the morning light. A greenhouse, potting shed and workshop complete the garden’s practical spaces.

Beyond the development lies access to the Two Ridges footpath onto the surrounding countryside.

Set within a plot of approximately a quarter of an acre, The Long Barn combines the scale and practicality of a modern family home with the calm of its rural setting; a place where large windows draw in light and views stretch out across the surrounding fields. Yet for all its countryside seclusion, the house remains remarkably well connected, with the nearby market towns of Tring, Leighton Buzzard and Berkhamsted all within a short drive, offering rail links, schools, shops and everyday amenities when needed. Prospective purchasers with school-age children may also wish to note that the property falls within the grammar schools catchment area in Aylesbury.
