Snells Lane, Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, HP7

A beautifully converted barn located with a small farm estate of three individual properties including the original farmhouse, a barn conversion and a newly constructed Grange.

Description

Snells Barn is a classically beautiful, exceptionally well crafted timber clad barn conversion which has been sumptuously restored throughout, combining flair and confidence with an internal woven colour palette which accentuates an abundance of original features including exposed timbers and vaulted ceiling heights. The deceptive footprint with in excess of 3,300 sqft of accommodation offers character and charm whilst providing an extremely versatile layout.

The impact is immediate as you enter the property through a magnificent double height reception hall with exposed timbers and feature staircase rising to a galleried first floor landing. Acting as an informal central hub, the living areas are positioned either side.

The formal living room incorporates thoughtfully placed internal windows to create a light and spacious dual aspect design with a feature wood burning stove the focal point. Located across the hallway is a simply gorgeous open plan kitchen/dining room/family room. Bespoke in design, the kitchen utilises the subtle inclusion of Art Deco styling to striking effect. An extensive range of storage drawers, back lit glazed cupboards and floor to ceiling units provide ample storage, alongside a saloon inspired curved central island with breakfast bar.

Twin sets of double doors open out from here on to the front courtyard allowing for a seamless transition to al-fresco dining. At the far side of the room there is a part open plan, vaulted snug with large roof light. Accessed from here there is a good sized utility room and WC.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over two floors allowing for an extremely flexible layout to suit all needs. On the ground floor there are two bedrooms including the principal bedroom suite. This wonderfully intimate bedroom space is a joy with its full height vault exposed further original timbers. A clever partition wall also provides his and hers walk in wardrobes. Adjacent to the bedroom is a remodelled and well appointed bath & shower room.

The remaining bedrooms are located on the first floor with the two smaller double bedrooms each benefitting from its own well-appointed bath/shower room. The larger of the bedrooms is an equally impressive principal suite, with a walk in wardrobe leading through to a private en-suite bath & shower room. A further staircase located in the bedroom gives access to a second floor study.

Snells Farm Barn is located in a small farm estate of three individual properties including an original farmhouse and newly constructed Snells Grange. Tucked away in a quiet position, Snells Barn enjoys low maintenance courtyard style external areas.

A large gravel courtyard screened by Beech hedging to the front of the property provides a lovely outside entertaining space, whilst a raised patio allows a further seating area positioned in front of an imposing double height picture window. Steps down from here lead to an informal covered seating area with light and heating, perfect for summer parties.

There is an L-shaped garage to the front of the plot which is ideal for storage but offers enormous scope to create a home gym/studio/games room or similar subject to planning consent. Private parking is available to both the front and side of the barn, with a five bar gate and estate fencing providing security. To the rear of the barn is a further courtyard and storage area.
