Day to day needs can be fulfilled at nearby Leighton Buzzard, which has branches of Waitrose, Tesco and Morrisons. More comprehensive facilities are available at Milton Keynes, which has a large shopping centre and superb leisure opportunities.

Education is well provided for with local schools within a short drive away and for those seeking an independent alternative there is Beechwood Park Preparatory School at Markyate, Stowe at Buckingham and of course, Bedford.

Train travel to London is flexible with Euston trains from Leighton Buzzard.

There is lots to see and do within easy reach of the house, including Ascott House & Gardens. For our four legged friends, a visit to Dunstable Downs is a must for a gentle stroll along the top for beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Slightly further afield are the Stowe Landscape Gardens and Park with lakes, valleys, woodland and over 40 monuments, temples and follies.

Description

This stylish barn conversion forms part of a small development of five properties in a semi rural location and enjoys a plot of about 1.26 acres. Although surrounded by farmland, the property remains well connected with the village centre of Cheddington approximately three quarters of a mile walk away and Cheddington Station approximately one mile.

The barn is approached by a driveway owned by the property over which one other house has vehicular access. Private gates then lead through to a gravelled forecourt affording extensive parking and leading to a double garage. The barn has a large entrance hall with the bedrooms to one side and living space to the other. The main living space is a large double height vaulted room with exposed ceiling joists and trusses, with an imposing central fireplace. To one side there is a sitting area with log burner and to the other a dining area and a well fitted shaker style kitchen from John Lewis of Hungerford. There is a large island with quartz work surfaces, breakfast bar and wine fridge, a range oven, Belfast sink and integrated dishwasher. Off the kitchen there is a utility room with door to garden, great for muddy boot access. There is also a playroom or fourth bedroom.

The main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, additional high level storage and an en suite shower room. The second bedroom also has a vaulted ceiling with fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room. The third bedroom has fitted wardrobes and there is a large family bathroom with wet shower cubicle and limestone egg shaped bath.

The barn has a lawned side and rear garden with screening trees and bushes. There are patio areas, log store and a large heated home office/gym with two rooms, offering scope for multiple work or leisure uses. Across the driveway there is a paddock offering scope to keep animals or for horticulture.
