Fabulous forever family home - contemporary barn conversion with garden studio and wonderful views
A superb, 3-double bedroom, modern barn conversion that all the family can enjoy from cradle to comfortable later life. A lovely garden studio, where guests have stayed overnight, adds to amazing, open-plan living space and a superb bedroom suite that overlooks gorgeous countryside. Plenty of parking completes the picture of a peaceful family retreat in the lovely Bedfordshire village of Wilden.
Your new home is on the far side of your attached neighbour, at the very end of a long, private drive, shared with just two other lovely barn conversions, thus giving you enviable views and no passing traffic whatsoever. You and your friendly neighbours can wander across the drive, through a private 5-bar wooden gate and be out in the fields with your dog inside 10 seconds.
A lovely, 20-minute stroll takes you past the village hall to the local primary school and to Sunday service at Wilden’s Grade i-listed Church of St Nicholas, with its beautiful font and stained-glass window that survived the Reformation. Wander down the lane in the other direction to Pell’s farm shop and nursery. The village pub is waiting for a buyer, but one of the finest pub and restaurants in the County, The Plough at Bolnhurst, not to mention Colmworth Golf and Country Club, are both within a couple of miles. And Ravensden is only 1.5 miles, with its popular village pub and shop.
So rural, yet so close to every facility about 5 miles away in the County town of Bedford, with its world-renowned Harpur Trust private schools, its outstanding Free School, and its fast trains to London inside 40 minutes. The East/West rail link, if it goes ahead, will provide fast links as well to both Oxford and Cambridge and is not expected to affect your enjoyment of your new home (details available on request). One thing’s for sure, living at The Old Hay Barns feels like being on holiday.
More about the property
What a lovely approach amid glorious countryside, the wonderful old farmhouse to which the barns once belonged standing serenely at the bottom of your long drive. Still under warranty, your new home was built at the turn of the decade in hugely attractive brick and weatherboarding, with energy efficient materials and high-performance windows.
Inside, it’s immediately clear what your home is all about. Space, style, light and height in abundance. Perfect for entertaining, but great for everyday family life too. The high ceiling swoops down above distinct areas for cooking, eating and relaxing (with stylish, corner woodburner), in an open-plan design that ensures you’ll never get under each other’s feet.
Beautiful, handleless kitchen furniture, including island, illuminated by LEDs and topped by striking quartz that also covers the sides and walls, makes quite an impression. But it’s practical too, with sophisticated interiors sliding out, and top of the range appliances, including hot tap and induction hob with downdraft extractor, making life easier and even more enjoyable.
Two bedrooms and bathroom are downstairs - ideal for young and old - an additional loo in the utility, too. The stylish oak and glass staircase leads to your vaulted-ceilinged main bedroom. Wow! So much space. You can even relax here over coffee and the morning newspaper – and the views will have you springing out of bed bright and early (a balcony, perhaps?).
To take full advantage of those views downstairs, you might consider lowering the fences in your garden - a garden very much in its infancy, young ceonothus, copper beech and roses happy to welcome a green-fingered enthusiast with designs of their own.
Follow the granite path to the studio, which extends out through bifold and French doors. Eat al fresco on the decking, wallow in the hot tub with a digestif beneath the stars (you can even watch television) and decide if your studio is to be a gym, an office, a games room, or a bedroom (or a combination) – especially if it connected through to the store, it might even be a fully-fledged annexe. Whatever you choose, you’re set for a happy, peaceful life at The Old Hay Barns.
