The current owner has stripped back this 1990s barn conversion to reveal the interior of the original barn, offering a wonderful choice of configurations for the generously proportioned accommodation. The main living area with its high vaulted space and large windows provides a light and expansive entertaining area, opening into a superb setting for Al Fresco dining in the South facing rear courtyard garden.
The main barn with its two wings provides incoming purchasers with an almost unique opportunity to stamp their own identity on a barn in a much sought-after area. The property enjoys easy access to beautiful countryside but is only about 20 minutes away from the M40 and M25 motorways and is 'a stone's throw' from the Metropolitan line Underground station in Chesham with its fast links into central London.
The Barns offers a high degree of privacy behind its garden walls and is shielded at the front by its own lovely woodland dell filled with birdsong and wildflowers.
There are plenty of local footpaths and bridleways to explore and the property is close to Ley Hill Common, Chesham and Leyhill golf and cricket clubs, as well as several good local pubs.
The current owner has started the transformation of The Barns into something truly special but as she is now in her 90th year has reluctantly made the heartbreaking decision that her age does not permit her to complete the work and so must pass 'the baton' to a new owner. The surveys and architectural drawings and other plans and relevant building permissions (at considerable expense by the current owner) will be included in the sale for use by the new owner (subject to confirming licence agreements with the relevant consultancies).
The Barns is situated on the outskirts of Ley Hill, a popular village located close to the neighbouring towns of Berkhamsted, Chesham, Amersham and Chesham.
Schools: The towns of Berkhamsted and Chesham are close by with a variety of schools including Berkhamsted School with a prep campus at Haresfoot, Chesham Prep and The Beacon Prep. The property is also situated within the catchment for the Buckinghamshire Grammar schools.
Restaurants: There is a wide range of cafés, restaurants and bars in Berkhamsted and the surrounding towns and villages.
Walking & riding: The Barns is surrounded by beautiful countryside, including the Chiltern Hills and Ashridge Estate, to the north of Berkhamsted. There is direct access from the house onto a network of footpaths.
Shopping: Shopping facilities can be found in both Berkhamsted, Chesham and Amersham, with large shopping centres at Watford, Milton Keynes and Aylesbury and surrounding market towns.
Travel: Berkhamsted train station offers fast services into London Euston, taking from 29 minutes. The Chiltern line runs from Chalfont and Latimer station to London Marylebone taking approximately 33 minutes. The Metropolitan Underground runs from Chesham.
Distances
Chesham 1.5 miles, Amersham 4 miles, Berkhamsted 5 miles, Beaconsfield 10
miles, Central London 32 miles. (All distances approximate)

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 8, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
