Description

Ashendon Barn nestles within a small close at the northeastern edge of the village. It is a stunning conversion that the owner presents absolutely beautifully and the mature plot offers the property a great deal of privacy.
Inside are a wealth of charming features, nearly all of the accommodation has floorboards and LED downlighting, the doors are latched and braced wood with wrought iron furniture and there is a handsome blend of exposed stone and brick walls and beams and timbers.

As you enter the hall you find a storage cupboard and then to the left is the kitchen and living room and right the bedrooms and bathroom and the right corridor has a part vaulted ceiling and a velux window for natural light.
The kitchen/dining room comprises solid oak units painted in Farrow & Ball dimity colour and complimenting the units are black granite worktops. Integrated are a halogen hob, double oven/grill and dishwasher and spaces provided for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. Some delightful characteristics to be noted are the vaulted ceiling, wall sconces for candles and a shelved upper alcove. In the sitting room is again a vaulted ceiling and inset into the wall stands a woodburning stove. Alongside the two front windows are doors opening to the patio.
Then main bedroom with another vaulted ceiling is an excellent double and the automatically lit walk-in wardrobe brings to mind the option of installing an ensuite. The smaller bedroom is very pretty and a pull out ladder gives an easy route up to a boarded out attic. Although we cannot describe this as a bedroom practically it could serve as such, or an office or studio. In the bathroom is a porcelain floor and a white suite of a wc, wash basin and vanity unit and a panelled bath, all have chrome fittings and there is a separate cubicle that has both handheld and overhead showers. A useful airing/linen cupboard is available and the window has a bespoke shutter.

OUTSIDE
As you enter the close 2 parking bays are provided and a patch of faux grass and hardstanding suitable for a shed.
The exterior mirrors the interior in terms of its smart and immaculate appearance. The barn hides behind a tall laurel hedge that ensures a high level of privacy to the garden. A flagstone path is down to the front door and said front door has shelter from the porch canopy. The easterly garden is attractively landscaped with grasses, shrubs and trees and a pond dotted around in the gravel, and at the far end a deep planted bed of the same alongside a variety of flowers.
South facing is a split-level terrace, the lower area with flagstones and then a dwarf stone wall and a slightly elevated seating area of composite decking from where you can glimpse the distant countryside.

LOCATION
Ashendon is a lovely hilltop village of mainly Cottages and old Farmhouses with breathtaking views over the Aylesbury plain. The Ash Tree is a charming inn at the bottom of a lane and adjacent the playing field the Church of St Mary stands at the summit of the village and holds in a long, low recess in the Chancel, an effigy of an unknown Knight.
The name Ashendon comes from Ashen-Hill, i.e. grown over with ashes. The area was once the ancient Berwood Forest and the old hunting grounds of Saxon and Norman Kings. For more information on the village visit
