Honeydon Road, Colmworth, MK44

ONE OF KIND PROPERTY converted from farm building into incredible family home, with an abundance of accommodation - over 5,800sqft, set on a c.0.4-acre plot with ample parking, in a quiet village location.

ABOUT THIS HOME

The Barns is one of a kind, built by the owners as business premises in 2000 and redesigned as their family home in 2015. The original structure dates back to the late 1800s and was used to dry grain. While an authentic agricultural feel remains, what stands today is an incredible, architectural residence.
Measures and materials were introduced to ensure longevity, comfort and energy efficiency. The home has an air source heat pump, good levels of insulation and ventilation, underfloor heating downstairs, and double if not triple glazing throughout. The roof is standing seam copper, which can last for a century, and the property's water supply is via its own well.

While original external walls were retained, a new layout was needed. The internal space is abundant, reaching over 5,800sqft and with a neat, sectioned floorplan. The ground floor presents good accessibility, with level thresholds, double doors, a large cloakroom and an en-suite bedroom.
The central section is an impressive reception hall. The curve of the staircase echoes the curved roof, and the wood-effect flooring across the ground floor is Karndean.

Clean, contemporary d-cor continues throughout the property - providing cohesion or acting as a neutral base.

To one side of the hall are two huge reception rooms, partitioned by bi-fold doors. One has a log burner for cosy evenings in front of the TV; the other is used for listening to music, featuring built-in ceiling speakers to fully experience it. Both have bi-folds onto the patio. External barn shutters slide across so you can keep doors and curtains open for fresh air while still shading the room.

To the other side is open-plan kitchen/dining/living - essential in a family home. Whether eating or relaxing together, and especially for parties, this space is perfect. There are two sets of bi-folds too, offering seamless indoor-outdoor flow when entertaining outside. The kitchen is fitted with a wide range of Shaker-style cabinets topped with quartz surfaces, including a large island with a breakfast bar. There's a Belfast sink, integrated appliances and space for freestanding. Off the kitchen is a pantry/utility room, and off the secondary hall is a plant room
.
The secondary hall is currently used as an office. This is substantial, so flexible for other uses. The first-floor landings are large and flexible too - with roof lanterns for lots of natural light. All four first-floor bedrooms are expansive, all have an en suite, and two benefit from built-in wardrobes. The ground-floor bedroom benefits from bi-folds onto the garden this can easily be a granny annexe/teenagers room.

THE GARDEN

The Barns sits on a c.0.4-acre plot, with gardens to three sides. The larger garden at the entrance to the property is primarily lawned, with a generous lower-tier patio, a bed of established planting and a selection of mature trees. A path leads from the patio, around past the front door, and into the main garden via gate.
The main garden is more private, tucked behind the house. This is again primarily lawned, with a patio and planting, as well as a sunken pond made from a feed trough - adding to that farm-style feel. There's plenty of space for sheds and a summerhouse.
The gated gravel driveway at the front of the house has ample parking.
