‘Cambridge Barn’

A truly exceptional barn conversion located on the outskirts of the pretty village of Abbotsley. The home is an absolute credit to its owners who have designed and created the internal space and fit out as well as many other enhancements.
Offering no less than 7375 sq ft of stunningly crafted accommodation, this remarkable property offers the perfect blend of work-life balance and all within easy reach of Cambridge and London.

The Home in more detail:

Cambridge Barn offers wonderful features throughout the property, including vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and brickwork, as well as full-height glazing. Although the property offers substantial square footage, all of the space within the home feels intimate and sympathetic to its surroundings. Our clients have really maximised every view point and use of light and space.

The property comprises of no less than five double bedrooms all with en suites, kitchen breakfast room, living room, three reception rooms, including a vaulted sitting room with galleried area (library) above, all with underfloor heating served by the latest ground source heat pump technology (also providing hot water and including heating of the indoor pool).

There is garaging for up to eight vehicles as well as potential to create a self-contained annexe or further living space within this if required.

This beautiful property has been thoughtfully designed to incorporate and expose the key features and character of the building. These period features are further enhanced when combined with the stunning modern themes that have been integrated into the property, such as the use of glass, the high specification kitchen, the exquisite bathrooms,  the hi tech swimming pool (lit at night), the Cinema room….all combine to create a really characterful yet contemporary home.

Externally the property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically adapted to retain the key features and preserve them, seamlessly integrating with its pretty countryside setting.

Our clients have used glass wherever possible to flood the house with natural light. The effect connects you to the outside and provides a stunning backdrop wherever you are within the property… creating a stylish, open and spacious environment throughout the property for the family to relax, work and entertain.

The owners have in our opinion, accentuated the wonderful character of the buildings. Integrating them beautifully and in an incredibly thoughtful way to really maximise the outcome.

The Barn is incredibly private; surrounded by a perimeter wall and well-established hedging to soften this.
The garden is yet another exceptional feature of the property. It’s a very attractive space that incorporates open lawn area and patio space as well as a large ornamental pond.
Even though the gardens are of a good size, they have been designed for ease of maintenance in mind as well as providing differing pockets of space to either entertain or relax at different points throughout the day.

The kitchen, often the hub of a home, is a lovely big room in which one can cook, eat and relax as well as watch over younger members of the household if need be.

The pool was imported from ‘Endless Pools’ of Philadelphia. This is a fantastic feature that has been fully utilised by the current owners. It has a propeller directed current, which you can swim against to really get a good workout. This is heated by the ground source heat pump, so is extremely economical to run.

The result is a ‘homely home’, warm and comfortable yet conducive to modern living.
