An Exceptional Contemporary Country Barn Conversion with Over an Acre of Paddock, Bespoke Oak Outbuilding and Outstanding Countryside Views | Dairy Farm Byre, Hillesden

A Home Designed Around the Landscape

There is an immediate sense of peace as you arrive at Dairy Farm Byre. Approached via a private lane and revealed behind bespoke electric oak gates, the property enjoys an enviable level of privacy while embracing its spectacular rural surroundings.

Originally the dairy serving the former farmstead, the building has been transformed with remarkable sensitivity, preserving the character and proportions that make barn conversions so special while introducing elegant contemporary interiors designed for modern family life.

Natural light fills the home throughout the day, while many of the principal rooms enjoy beautiful views across the gardens and open countryside beyond. Beautifully presented and impeccably maintained, the interiors feel light, elegant and effortlessly welcoming.

A spacious entrance hall provides an inviting first impression, leading naturally through to the principal living spaces.

Spaces for Gathering

At the heart of the home is a bespoke John Nicholls kitchen and dining room, creating a wonderfully social space where family life naturally comes together. A separate utility room provides practical everyday convenience while keeping the main living areas beautifully organised.

The principal reception room is undoubtedly one of the home's defining features. Beneath a magnificent vaulted ceiling with exposed timber trusses, the room enjoys an incredible sense of volume while remaining warm and inviting. Flooded with natural light and enjoying beautiful views across the surrounding gardens, it is equally suited to elegant entertaining or peaceful evenings spent appreciating the tranquillity of its countryside setting.

One of the home's most distinctive architectural features is the glazed link that connects the principal living accommodation with the bedroom wing. More than simply a hallway, it creates a gallery-like space where natural light pours in and beautiful views across the gardens become part of the everyday experience.

Throughout the tiled areas, beautiful limestone flooring is complemented by underfloor heating, adding comfort beneath your feet throughout the seasons.

Designed with modern living in mind, the property also benefits from comprehensive telephone and internet connectivity to every room via a central communications hub, making it exceptionally well suited to those working from home.

Private Bedroom Retreats

The bedroom accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide both flexibility and privacy.

Occupying its own dedicated wing, the principal suite feels wonderfully peaceful. French doors open directly onto the gardens, creating a seamless connection with the outdoors, while a separate dressing room leads through to a beautifully appointed en-suite featuring twin basins, a freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower, creating a true retreat at the end of the day.

Two further generous ground floor bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, while a dedicated study provides excellent flexibility for home working or quieter moments away from the main living spaces.

Occupying the first floor, the fourth bedroom enjoys an elevated outlook across the surrounding fields and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, making it an ideal guest suite, independent space for older children or private accommodation for visiting family.

Gardens, Grounds & Lifestyle

Outside, the lifestyle becomes every bit as compelling as the home itself.

Expansive south-facing lawns wrap around the property, allowing sunlight to follow the gardens throughout the day while creating beautifully private spaces to relax, entertain and enjoy the surrounding countryside. Two separate patio seating areas provide idyllic spots for everything from morning coffee to long summer evenings overlooking the gardens and adjoining paddock.

Beyond the formal gardens lies one of Dairy Farm Byre's most exceptional features: an adjoining paddock extending to just over one acre, directly accessed via gated rear access. Whether utilised for equestrian use, recreational purposes or simply preserving the wonderful feeling of open space, it adds an entirely different dimension to the lifestyle this property offers.

Constructed in 2020, the substantial oak-framed outbuilding has been built to an exceptional standard and currently provides extensive vehicle storage together with electricity, mains water and heating. Designed with equestrian use in mind, it also offers excellent potential for stabling and a tack room, while equally lending itself to workshop space or a variety of lifestyle pursuits.

Additional practical features include substantial hardstanding with dedicated trailer parking, a double garage with oak doors and rear vehicle access, a separate carport, two generous garden sheds and an enclosed double log store.

The block paved driveway provides parking for approximately eight to ten vehicles, creating exceptional practicality for both family life and entertaining.
