Honeysuckle Barn, Chapel Farm Barns, Nr Oundle, PE8 5LD

A fabulously appointed modern (2016) barn conversion with impressively proportioned accommodation, combining character and style, coupled with fine views over its garden and paddock.

Description This beautifully appointed four bedroom stone barn conversion offers impressively proportioned accommodation across three floors, combining character, contemporary style and far reaching views over its garden and 0.95 acre paddock.

Honeysuckle Barn forms part of an exceptional farmyard development completed in 2016.

This private, gated enclave sits on the edge of the Conservation village of Ashton, surrounded by rolling Northamptonshire countryside and just a mile from the Georgian market town of Oundle, to which footpaths lead from the village.

The house blends traditional barn conversion materials, partially exposed stone and brickwork walls and a striking granary window spanning two storeys, with modern, elegant fittings.

The result is a wonderfully spacious and stylish home with panoramic views across its garden and paddock.

Honeysuckle Barn Approached through an attractive front garden, the front door opens within one of two double height granary windows that flood the interior with natural light, into a sensational open plan reception dining kitchen with travertine flooring, forming the heart of the home.

The kitchen features an extensive range of wall and base units with Silestone worktops, integrated appliances, including dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer and wine fridge, and an electric Rangemaster double oven.

A central island provides additional storage, rising sockets and a breakfast bar, while the dining area enjoys views through the granary windows to the garden and terrace, making it ideal for family life and entertaining.

Glazed internal double doors open into a superbly proportioned sitting room, combining exposed stone and brickwork walls with a contemporary wood burning stove and garden views through a window with working shutters.

This room balances impressive scale with a warm, more intimate feel. A downstairs W.C. And a utility room with plumbing for white goods complete the ground floor.

First Floor An oak and glass staircase rises to a striking first floor landing living room, illuminated by the upper section of the granary window and offering lovely views over the garden and paddock towards woodland.

This versatile contemporary space serves both first floor bedroom suites, with stairs rising again to the second floor.

The principal suite incorporates a generous double bedroom with two large windows framing paddock views, an exquisitely appointed en suite bathroom with separate shower and double basins, and a fitted dressing room.

Bedroom two also features an en suite shower room and rural views. Second Floor The staircase continues to a galleried landing serving two further double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Bedroom three is particularly spacious, with a high vaulted ceiling and dual aspect light from two Velux windows.

Bedroom four, currently used as a hobby room or office, also features a vaulted ceiling and rooflights, while a large walk in wardrobe beside the family bathroom offers potential for an en suite.

The central bathroom includes a free standing bath and large walk in shower. Outside Chapel Farm Barns is accessed through remote controlled gates with intercom to each property.

The house benefits from an open fronted double cart house garage fitted with an EV charger, with additional parking by Honeysuckle Barn itself behind five bar gates.

The landscaped front garden combines formal lawned areas with flowering borders and a wide stone flagged terrace with a water feature creating a gentle background sound.

This terrace is ideal for both formal and informal outdoor dining, overlooking the paddock.

The paddock lies directly across the drive and includes extra parking, a kitchen garden and a detached timber barn-ideal as a workshop or party barn.

Extending to approximately 0.95 acres, it is currently maintained as a wildflower meadow with meandering pathways, a central pond and a seating area at the northern boundary.

The field is planted with fruit trees-crab apple, wild cherry, Victoria plum and pear-along with Himalayan and weeping birch and acers, offering year round colour.

It is a haven for wildlife and a superb asset for families or those seeking space for a pony or smallholding.
