Bicester Road, Oakley, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18

A unique contemporary barn conversion offering exceptional accommodation surrounded by 1.5 acres of stunning far reaching views.

Originally transformed from a concrete-framed modern barn, this impressive family home boasts abundant space, is equipped to an exacting standard, and is future-proofed with zoned underfloor heating powered by a NIBE 20Kw air source heat pump.

The front door opens into a remarkable vaulted reception hall that connects to all the principal ground floor rooms. The phenomenal kitchen/dining/sitting room is also vaulted and offers fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. The Bower Willis-designed kitchen is fully equipped, featuring a large central island and a full range of AEG integrated appliances. A staircase leads up to a newly converted first floor, which includes a snug, a large studio with an adjoining study/library, an office storeroom, and extensive eaves storage.

The bedroom area of the barn includes a spacious master suite with a separate en suite bathroom and shower room. There are three additional bedrooms (one currently used as a dressing room), two bathrooms, and a snug or fifth bedroom.

Gardens and Grounds

The property is approached from the road through an electric five-bar gate leading to a gravel drive at the front of the barn. The property as a whole stands in about 1.5 acres, with gardens that wrap around the barn and a large paved terrace off the main living room at the rear. Planning permission has been granted for a triple garage with accommodation above. There is also permission for a further separate vehicular access to the land.

From the main entrance, the drive forks, with a driveway leading to an adjacent new agricultural barn built in a similar style to the house, offering considerable scope for various uses.

The property is surrounded by approximately 23.5 acres of breathtaking far reaching views which is available for purchase as a package.
