Why buy this home?
Single-storey Powells Barn was built on to a period farmhouse and converted to provide barn-style accommodation. The finish was to a high specification, with good quality fixtures and fittings, including some features that were hand-crafted in oak.
The handsome home has been designed to offer flexible accommodation, with up to four rooms that can be arranged as bedrooms or spaces with alternative uses, such as studies, playrooms and hobby areas. The substantial drawing and dining room spaces are separated by the large brick fireplace with oak beam, and have French windows on to the terrace. The living space benefits from reclaimed terracotta tiles on the floor which also run through to the kitchen.
The kitchen has been designed in a traditional Shaker style and is sympathetic to the age of the property by also having a feature butler sink. There is space for a small breakfast table and also a utility room with space for a washing machine, tumble/dryer and fridge/freezer, with further access to the garden.
As mentioned previously, the bedrooms can be utilised as per your family's needs, with the current owners using the fourth bedroom as a home office. This room and bedroom three share the four-piece family bathroom that has a separate double shower and Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware. There is also a separate WC for guests. Bedroom two is an ideal guest bedroom as it has its own ensuite, and with the master bedroom being at the end of the barn it feels private and separated from the living area. Naturally this room has a further ensuite and plenty of space for a large bed and wardrobes as shown off by the current owners. This room also has French doors to a private terrace on the garden - the perfect place for a morning cup of tea or coffee.
There is a pump room housing the boiler which makes an ideal space to dry laundry due to its size, as well as storage cupboards and an airing cupboard. The entirety of the barn benefits from underfloor heating ensuring it feels cosy in those colder months.
The grounds are mature and leafy, and offer a semi-rural feeling even though the location is only circa four miles to Central Milton Keynes. Trees such as an oak, ash and cherry offer privacy and a sense of seclusion.
Parking is provided by a double carport with the ability to park in front too. Accessed from within the carport is a storage room which could be utilised as a gym if you wish.

About this agent
Lion Estates - Milton Keynes
314 Midsummer Boulevard
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
MK9 2UB
01908 951942Lion Estates is a team of estate agents offering the most personal service in the industry. Our goal is to cover our costs by adding value in the form of a higher sales price, better communication and reduce stress for our clients. We aim to be your chosen property professional for life, offering advice and support even when you're not looking to move home. A New Breed Of Estate Agent It's no secret that estate agents in the UK don't have the best reputation compared to other countries across the world... We believe this is down to the high transactional nature of the typical estate agency business model. The need to sell high levels of homes results in poor marketing, worse communication and under-performance which leaves clients feeling short-changed. The agent who values your home and wins your trust isn't the agent who shows potential buyers around your home and goes on to negotiate your sales price. This crucial task falls to the least experienced staff member, who more often than not knows nothing about your home and hopes the potential buyer will decide to offer full asking price off their own back. Don't blame the agent though; they are likely conducting viewings on 30 - 50 homes, such is their business model, so it's impossible for them to know every detail about every home. But the person it impacts the most is the person who is paying the agent's fee - you. This, however, is through choice and not necessity - there is a better way. Imagine a service designed around what's best for the client, always putting your needs first. A truly personal service tailored to the different needs of each client as, after all, everyone's reason for moving is different. Not only that but every home is different - even if you have the same house style as someone else on your street, no other home has the same plot, orientation and feel of your home. You and your home are unique, and we for one believe you deserve to be treated like it. The estate agency industry has failed to evolve over the last 40 + years. It has failed to keep up with the changing needs of clients as the world around us has changed rapidly. Finally that change has come - welcome to the era of the personal estate agent.
