Outstanding Grade II listed barn in the beautiful village of Sarratt with fabulous versatile living space and a detached annexe

Description
The Barn is a truly stunning home, set within beautifully landscaped gardens in this sought-after Conservation Area next to a 12th century church. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is something special. Alongside the main house is a detached outbuilding, currently used as a music studio, which offers fantastic flexibility - whether you’re looking for space to work from home, a creative studio, a gym or even secondary accommodation. The plot is about 0.57 acres overall.

Inside, the house is wonderfully bright and welcoming, with generous, versatile living space that’s perfect for both everyday family life and entertaining. The interiors strike a lovely balance between modern comfort and rich character, with exposed beams, latched doors and feature fireplaces creating a warm, timeless feel throughout.

You enter the house into an impressive reception hall, which immediately sets the warmth of this stunning home and leads through to the main living areas. The beautiful drawing room is a real highlight, with its striking inglenook fireplace, log burner and part-vaulted ceiling. There’s also a bright open-plan reception area with stairs rising to the first floor, and beyond this you’ll find the elegant dining room, complete with its own attractive log-burning fireplace.

At the heart of the home is the spectacular Charles Braverman kitchen/breakfast room - a space designed for both cooking and gathering. With a superb range of fitted units, a central island and integrated appliances, it’s as practical as it is stylish. To the rear is a cosy snug, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, while a useful utility room sits just off the kitchen. Doors open out onto the charming front courtyard, where a terrace provides a wonderful spot for summer entertaining. Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms, one being used as a gym and both overlooking the rear garden, along with a well-appointed study and a beautifully finished cloakroom/bathroom.

Upstairs, a galleried landing floods the first floor with natural light and offers lovely views over the gardens and open farmland beyond. The principal suite is simply stunning, featuring exposed beams, a dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom. There are four further double bedrooms on this floor, all with part-vaulted ceilings and built-in wardrobes. Three enjoy delightful garden views, and they are served by a generous, well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside
The Barn is approached through gates that open into a grand courtyard, with a substantial driveway providing parking for several cars, along with a detached carport for four vehicles. The courtyard itself is beautifully arranged with well-stocked borders, a terrace and an attractive central feature that creates a peaceful, idyllic setting.

To the side of the house is the detached barn, currently arranged as a music studio with a kitchenette, cloakroom and an additional studio above. This flexible space lends itself to a variety of uses, from business or leisure and easily converted into additional family accommodation. Attached to this is a granary store with light and power, currently used for log storage.

Gated side access leads through to the rear garden, where a fabulous terrace takes full advantage of the countryside views. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, framed by colourful flower and shrub borders, with an additional area to the side that would make an ideal play space.
