The Barn – Rare Modern Barn Conversion with Smart Features & No Onward Chain

This rare modern single-storey barn conversion blends contemporary comfort with peaceful village living. Offered with no onward chain and designed for step-free access, it’s ideal for first-time buyers, small families, professionals or anyone downsizing. The property also benefits from around 600 sq ft of illuminated, boarded loft storage – a hugely practical bonus. Set within an exclusive private estate in a conservation area, the home combines tranquillity with superb road and rail connections such as A34, A30, A303 & M3.

Built to modern standards of insulation and energy efficiency, the home is as practical as it is stylish. A thoughtful winged layout separates bedrooms from the living area, ensuring privacy and quiet rest. The main bedroom is carpeted, while the remaining rooms feature low-maintenance laminate flooring. Extra-large windows with custom made Venetian blinds that fill the home with natural light, while ceiling fans, air conditioning and LPG central heating with a combi boiler provide year-round comfort.

At its heart lies a striking 49ft open-plan kitchen, dining and living space – the true hub of the home. A central island with breakfast bar and integrated power outlets creates a sociable spot for cooking, entertaining and working. Dual French doors lead directly to the garden, allowing seamless indoor-outdoor living plus panoramic views over a professionally maintained mature tree copse that allows you to enjoy the local wildlife in the comfort of your sofa, dining table & kitchen.

The secluded south-west facing garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day and includes side access. A decked seating area with integrated LED lighting is perfect for summer dining or evening drinks, while the versatile summer house – fully powered with lighting inside and out – makes an excellent home office, studio or gym. The garden also features a powered shed, external water and power supply, an LED-lit water feature and side access to the front of the property. At the front, you have off road parking for two vehicles right outside your front door.

Modern smart features enhance everyday living. Energy-efficient recessed LED lighting is voice-controlled and dimmable, while a multi-zone in-ceiling sound system and RGB coving lighting set the mood indoors. Smart thermostats add efficiency with geofencing and open-window detection. For peace of mind, the home offers CCTV, a Ring Pro video doorbell, security lighting, a secure parcel box and an electric blackout blind in the lounge.
