An impressive and unique six bedroom barn conversion with a tennis court, several workshops and about 3.8 acres of gardens and paddocks.
Description
Haffenden Barn is a substantial and immensely charming six bedroom barn conversion which has been extensively refurbished and reconfigured to a high standard by the current owners to incorporate modern versatile living accommodation together with several workshops, a tennis court and beautiful gardens and grounds.
The beautifully presented internal accommodation comprises; an impressive reception hall with oak fittings and a delightful minstrels gallery above, a sitting room with Vermont Intrepid II stove and a dining area. Off the dining area and connected by a glazed walkway with under floor heating, are three ground floor bedrooms together with a shower room with digital Aqualisa shower, perfect for multi-generational living or a self-contained annexe.
A superb contemporary kitchen/breakfast room with beautiful exposed beams is fitted with a range of hand painted cupboards and complimented with various integral appliances including a dishwasher, undercounter fridge and fridge drawers, two ovens with warming drawers, a combi microwave and coffee machine. Off the kitchen is a utility room fitted with further storage space and houses the boiler. Continuing on the ground floor is a versatile laundry room with space for various white goods, a WC, a study room and a spectacular sunroom with a vaulted ceiling and wood burner.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms, each boasting extensive built in wardrobes and drawers. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom with Aqualisa shower over, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a family shower room.
Haffenden Barn is accessed via electronically operated wooden gates, leading to a long sweeping driveway with ample parking and access to the detached timber-framed double carport with room above, currently used as an office.
Set in about 3.8 acres of beautiful gardens and paddocks, featuring formal gardens with expansive lawns, rose beds, specimen trees including fruit and walnut trees, a vegetable patch and a mature range of flowers and shrubs.
To the east of the property, is a refurbished tennis court and converted stabling which now serves as extensive garaging and workshop facilities with water and power.
