A stunning, Grade II listed, barn conversion, offering extensive and beautifully presented accommodation, lying in a tranquil rural hamlet, with quick motorway and rail access (London Paddington in 2 hours).

This impressive conversion of one of two Grade II listed barns lying opposite each other, was completed about 10 years ago to a very high standard by two visionary surveyors and their talented craftsmen. Whilst retaining its inherent charm and a wealth of original features and materials, the property is very well appointed, ensuring a highly efficient, economic and very comfortable home.

The space is amazing, with the principal bedroom suite built in the original hay loft, with original roof timbers along its length, and at one end, a dressing room, with extensive wardrobe space, and a large en suite bath/shower room with a free standing, eagle claw bath as a centrepiece and large shower cubicle. The magnificent dining hall lies below and is perfect for entertaining around a very long table, and next door is a second reception room, TV room or study. The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room has fully integrated 'Siemens' appliances, all 'A' rated, and engineered oak flooring. The galleried hall adjoining leads to the large sitting room, with a wood burner perfect for cosy winter evenings, and full height windows, overlooking the courtyard. Beyond, there is a large study, ideal for anyone wishing to work from home.

Stairs lead from the sitting room up to the long landing, with oak cruck beams, and from which there are three double bedrooms, the largest with a built-in wardrobe, and the family bathroom. This is fitted in a contemporary style with a freestanding bath, large shower cubicle, WC and oak topped vanity unit with washbasin.

Subtle lighting and large windows complete the light, spacious atmosphere and an air source heat pump provides a green and efficient source of energy to the property, with under floor heating throughout.

On approach to The Linhay, there is an oak framed, semi-detached, open garage for two vehicles. Access to the barn is via a generous, gravel forecourt, ideal for decorative planting. Beside the barn, there is a small, pretty, established area of garden.

To conclude, our client has commented:

'The Linhay is our dream barn conversion; it blends traditional and modern features and is a stunning house in every season. We’ve been very lucky to call it our family home.'
