Description
This exceptional barn conversion dates back to the 16th Century. The property sits on a large plot measuring around half an acre and overlooks the picturesque River Gade.
The spacious and beautifully presented accommodation offers many character features throughout and includes a large living room with brick-built inglenook fireplace, a separate dining room with exposed brick wall and beams and a large and welcoming farmhouse style kitchen with Aga. A separate utility room sits just off. A generous double bedroom on the ground floor opens into a private conservatory enjoying views across the garden. A modern family bathroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is galleried and enjoys a large dressing area with fitted wardrobes. A further en suite bathroom with corner bath completes this level. The property has oil-fired central heating.
Outside the fabulous landscaped gardens enjoy a south-westerly aspect, with large patio area and lawn and a variety of mature trees making this a private haven in which to relax and entertain. A detached Oak frame garage benefits from a loft which has scope to convert into an office or games room, subject to the necessary consents.
NB. The owners pay a peppercorn rent to lease the land directly in front of the property, running all the way down to the river's edge.
The property is approached via a private lane which runs parallel to the river Gade on the edge of the Chilterns (an area of natural beauty). The National Trust's Ashridge and Gaddesden Estates are both close by. Also on the doorstep is the Red Lion gastropub which is less than 5 minutes walk away.
The closest shops are in neighbouring Potten End, and both Potten End and Great Gaddesden have Primary schools with 'Good' Ofsted ratings. Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead are just a short drive away and offer excellent amenities and fast trains into London Euston. The M1 motorway and Luton Airport are also both within easy reach.
