About
The property enjoys a charming semi-rural setting surrounded by the attractive landscape of the Chiltern Hills, with excellent transport links via road and rail.
Grove Barn is nestled within a pretty hamlet, in a peaceful, tucked away setting.
Converted in 2004, the property has been recently modernised including a new kitchen upgraded in 2025 and a new oak wood-effect engineered wood flooring to most of the ground floor.
Though enjoying a contemporary feel, there are plenty of character features remaining such as vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork and handsome beams, as well as beautiful craftsmanship to the internal doors.
Downstairs, the reception room is largely open plan and comprises a sizeable sitting and dining room, with a spiral staircase leading down to a relaxing study.
The entrance hall leads to the attractive kitchen/breakfast room which features premium appliances including a Siemens induction hob, a Neff double oven, warming drawer and a Quooker tap.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor, including a principal bedroom with en suite featuring a roll top bath, two further good-size bedrooms and a family bathroom with both bath and shower.
Downstairs there is a fourth double bedroom with en suite shower room.
The barn is set within a pretty, private road which leads to the three attached adjoining barns, with shared allocated parking to the front.
There is landscaped space around the property, including lovely grassland and views to the village church at the rear.
To the front of the house, a five-bar gate opens to a generous driveway leading up to an attached carport.
The lawned garden is accessed from the sitting room and is enclosed by a high brick wall for privacy, with a number of shrubs providing interest.
A generous patio terrace is accessed from the sitting room and offers plenty of space for outdoor dining.
