Winner of the LABC Building Excellence Award 2013 Blackgrove Barn is a stunning four-bedroom family home which has been sensitively converted using the highest quality eco-friendly materials and finishes. The appealing elevations are of brick and timber weather board set under a handmade clay tile roof and inside the insulation materials are thermo fleece (sheeps wool) Celotex and breathable traditional lime plaster. The under-floor heating and water are powered by a ground source heat pump and solar panels.
Originally constructed in 1763, the barn was part of the Blackgrove Farm estate. Set in a rural location, the property has glorious views overlooking a lake and green belt countryside beyond. Brimming with character, this immaculately presented family home retains many original features, complemented by natural finishings such as solid oak flooring, a bespoke kitchen, hand carved doors and chestnut timber beams throughout.
From the main door, the kitchen/breakfast room is wonderfully bright and airy with large windows, double doors and the adjacent galleried hall flooding the space with light. The kitchen features a substantial central breakfast bar together with handcrafted cabinets, produced from solid ash timber sourced from a local estate. The work surfaces are granite with a traditional stone butler sink. Integrated appliances include a fridge, dishwasher and an electric double oven set in an alcove with a brick and timber surround. There is space for a family sized dining table.
The utility room has further storage cupboards, a butlers sink, space for an American style fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. The barn uses 3 phase electrics which are also located in the utility room.
The traditional layout continues with an office off the kitchen. This useful room has double doors out to the garden, making this flexible space also suitable for a playroom.
From the kitchen, the galleried hall has a cloakroom with a storage cupboard. Connecting the barn to the garden, a full height glass wall looks over a paved terrace framed with an attractive combination of Wisteria and a variety of colourful plants and shrubs.
The elegant sitting room has an attractive wood burner with brickwork surround, which creates a cosy focal point for the room. A small step leads down to the garden room with bi-fold doors leading out to the gardens.
A bespoke oak staircase leads to the galleried landing where, in a nod to the buildings history, an original agricultural feature has been suspended from the ceiling. The landing splits in to two separate wings that mirror each other.
The Master bedroom benefits from plenty of natural light and a pleasing view overlooking the lake, handcrafted fitted wardrobes and a door to the generously sized loft.
There are three further double bedrooms on this floor. One of the bedrooms has the advantage of generously sized eaves storage.
The main bathroom has a freestanding bath, double towel rail and Travertine stone flooring. There is also a shower room.
Outside, the rear garden is a particularly lovely feature, being beautifully planted with a range of cottage style plants and shrubs, interspaced with paved seating areas from which to enjoy the view over the lake and countryside beyond. There is a plant room/shed accessed from the garden and outdoor electric points and running water. To the front of the property there is a shared driveway with private parking to the front of the attached double garage with a loft (not boarded).

Situated in a popular and highly accessible location within the Tandridge district of Surrey the barn has excellent road and rail links which are within easy access to Junction 6 of the M25 via the A22. Frequent rail services run from Oxted to London Bridge (35 minutes), Godstone to London Bridge (about 45 minutes) and Lingfield to London Victoria (about 48 minutes).
