Description

A beautifully converted barn set within the Hertfordshire village of Wyddial, offering over 2,100 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, with four double bedrooms, striking vaulted spaces and mature gardens in a peaceful countryside setting.

Old Barn is situated on Cherry Orchard Lane a private road in Wyddial. Approached from the driveway via a secluded pathway leading through the gardens, the property immediately feels private and tucked away. A double garage and driveway parking for two cars provide practical day-to-day parking and storage, while the setting itself creates an impressive first impression before even stepping inside.

The property opens into a dramatic double height entrance atrium, an impressive central space filled with natural light and overlooked by a gallery landing above. Exposed beams and the scale of the original barn structure give the home real character, while the presentation throughout is thoughtful and well maintained.

The principal reception space is a large dual aspect living room centred around an inglenook fireplace and wood burner, creating a warm focal point within the room. Adjoining the living space is a timber frame sun room, positioned to enjoy views over the gardens and offering an ideal additional sitting area throughout the year.

The generously sized kitchen breakfast room is well arranged for family life and has direct access to the rear garden. There is a traditional cast iron range cooker, separate conventional gas stove, integrated dishwasher and space for a washing machine. Next to the kitchen is the impressive formal dining room. There's also a downstairs WC and additional understairs storage.

Upstairs there are four well proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect outlook over the gardens along with an en suite bathroom, while bedroom two also benefits from dual aspect windows, making both rooms particularly bright and airy. The remaining bedrooms are both comfortable doubles, served by the family bathroom and connected by the impressive gallery landing overlooking the entrance hall below, and with views out to the front garden through the full-height picture windows.

Outside, the gardens are a particularly special feature of the property. Mature planting, established lawns and carefully considered seating areas create a peaceful and private environment around the barn. A pond and water feature add to the setting, while tucked away within the grounds is a secret garden, creating an additional sheltered sun trap ideal for outdoor entertaining. There is also a useful garden shed positioned within this part of the garden.

Wyddial is a small and picturesque East Hertfordshire village situated just outside Buntingford, surrounded by rolling countryside and rural walking routes. The village is known for its historic character, including the Grade I listed St Giles? Church, while nearby Buntingford provides day-to-day amenities including independent shops, cafés, pubs, schools and supermarkets.

For commuters, the property is well placed for access to Royston, Bishop?s Stortford, Hertford and Stevenage, with rail services available from nearby stations into London King?s Cross and Liverpool Street. The A10 is also within easy reach, connecting to Cambridge and North London.
