This rarely available Grade II listed barn conversion has been refurbished to an exceptional standard offering spacious and versatile accommodation. The barn is accessed via a private tree lined driveway and electric gate. The rear aspect overlooks a circular courtyard, with a central lawn and beech tree on a plot of approximately 0.24 acre.

On entering the property is a large reception hall with stairs rising to the first-floor accommodation, two useful storage cupboards, timber lap walling to one side and attractive Travertine natural stone floor which continues through to the dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and utility. There is a cloakroom, lower sitting room/snug laid with Oak floor and has a feature wood burning stove. The look is finished with recessed ceiling spotlights and French doors into the garden, whilst to the rear double casement doors provide access into the formal living room measuring 21'9ft by 17'6ft and has the same flooring, tying the two spaces together. A further wood burning stove frames the room, set within an attractive brick surround. A beamed ceiling creates some real theatre to the room. Parallel to here is the dining room, which has a light-coloured floor tile as well as twin windows which frame the magnificent central courtyard, ensuring the room is flooded with natural daylight.
Along the rear of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted with a island unit and extensive range of high gloss floor and wall mounted units adding a splash of colour with a combination of mustard and darker wood effect units under Corian work surfaces. Several integrated appliances including an induction hob, extractor hood, as well as a bank of six Neff appliances consisting of two double ovens, microwave oven, steam oven and two warming drawers. Additional space has been afforded for an upright fridge/freezer. A hot tap with water softener has also been installed. The utility room has matching floor and wall mounted units with light Corian work tops over. An American style fridge/freezer and further full height integrated fridge and freezer are included. Space has been afforded for a washing machine and recessed ceiling spotlights, tiled floor and glazed door complete the look.

Finishing this level is a self-contained annexe, which would be, in our opinion, ideal for a dependant relative or teenager. The open plan nature of this room extends to 19'8ft by 18'10ft and has a soft grey floor and wall mounted units with work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been included such as an induction hob, Bosch oven and microwave, extractor unit, as well as a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Further space for a free-standing washing machine is available, whilst a central island unit provides a useful breakfast bar. Splashback tiling adds real colour, while to the opposite side of the room is ample space for a seating area and behind this is the bedroom space. Good sized mirror fronted wardrobes create additional storage and the en-suite comprises of a double shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin set into a stylish vanity unit. A combination of white and mustard splashback tiling, heated towel rail and recessed ceiling spotlights contemporise the space further still.
The first floor has a galleried landing with high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams all bathed in natural light from well positioned skylights. The master bedroom sits to the rear aspect and enjoys a vaulted ceiling with exposed triangular beam, giving the room real character and wow factor. Beyond here is access to the dressing area which has an extensive range of built in wardrobes. It also benefits from a refitted en-suite, with a four-piece suite comprising of a double shower cubicle, free standing roll top bath, low level wc and wall hung wash hand basin. Natural slate tiling adorns the walls, whilst a dark tile has been laid on the floor and three heated towel rails are around the room. Of the four remaining double bedrooms on this level three have built in wardrobe space and they are all serviced by a beautifully refitted four-piece bathroom which has a double shower enclosure, free standing bath with stylish wall tap configuration, low level wc and twin sinks. The walls have been finished with a smart white tile, three heated towel rails, recessed lighting and non-slip flooring added.

Externally the gardens have been immaculately designed with a nice sized lawn and surrounded by established borders housing an abundance of mature plants, shrubs and bushes, linked together by various paths. A particularly large, hard standing granite patio ensures a superb area to relax or entertain, in addition to a covered gazebo with Wi-Fi, power and speakers. Additional storage is provided by way of an open log store and closed store as well as a further shed. To the far end of the garden is a detached garage/gym/office, (depending on requirements) with a dark timber clad lapping.

The village of Clophill is well positioned to cater for the commuter with the M1/A1 motorways both within a 20-minute drive, alternatively there are regular train links into London St Pancras from either Flitwick or Harlington platforms, taking a matter of 35/40 minutes respectively. There is a local convenience store and several well-established eateries within walking distance, further and more substantial amenities can be found in Ampthill offering a selection of small individually owned shops, hairdressers, and a Waitrose Store. The area is renowned for its autonomous schooling at all levels including Redborne Academy, whilst Bedford provides the choice of highly renowned Harpur Trust schooling. There are various public footpaths and bridleways within a short distance from the property.
