<p> </p><p><strong>Architecture & history</strong><br/>This is one of the most exceptional renovations of a former threshing barn in South East England.</p><p>Approaching the barn, the volume of the property and its grounds is striking. It is impossible to appreciate the size until you cross the entrance, stand and look up to the timber ceilings and breathe in the scale. The structural anatomy of the barn is exposed throughout, with vaulted beams peaking at 8.5 metres, at its highest point.</p><p>Throughout this 35-foot space there is an incredible flexibility for dining, entertaining and relaxing. To one side, a kitchen centralised around an island draped in porcelain, a huge breakfast bar and fully integrated Miele appliances complete the kitchen. There is also a separate utility room, W/C & cloakroom adjacent to here.</p><p>Natural light pours in from extensive glazing across two bold entrances either side of the space. Known as vanishing thresholds, these cleverly dissolve the boundary between living space and courtyard outside. The relaxation and dining area is designed to the other end of the room and can be arranged according to your needs. There really is beauty in the flexibility of this grand space.</p><p>Flowing through the barn, the bedrooms are intelligently spread out across the remainder of the ground floor. The principal bedroom retains the dramatic heights of the reception room whilst also feeling homely and relaxing.</p><p>A private staircase leads up to a hidden ensuite finished in Emperador marble by Mandarin Stone, with a freestanding bathtub. A floating glass wall finishes the void overlooking the bedroom. Accessible beneath the staircase is a large walk-in dressing room, a brilliant feature.</p><p>Adjacent to the main bedroom is a separate suite, which could be utilised as a cosy private living room or nursery. Finishing off this side of the barn, a second oak staircase leads up to a striking study, the perfect work from home space, bright with a big window and timber clad over the top, enhancing privacy.</p><p>To the other end of the barn a separate wing houses three double bedrooms, finishing the ground floor off beautifully. All are finished to an outstanding standard with sliding aluminium doors out to a large terrace. The furthest bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room and another beautiful family bathroom completes this wing.</p><p>Throughout there are electric blinds, lighting provided by Lutron and a smart home system linking to all appliances. Category 6 wiring is also provided to all main rooms, covered by an 8-year construction warranty.</p><p>Surrounded on all sides by exquisite farmland and an untouched green belt, beautiful, landscaped gardens wrap around the entire barn with a total acreage of just under ½ acre. Far-reaching farmland views are commanded from every angle and there is enough off-street parking for 8 cars, with 2 electric car ports.</p><p>The terrace is accessible from the ground floor doors and is a fabulous space to host, dine & relax. A large lawn is lined with planted beds which leads onto a substantial gated paddock.</p><p>The Threshing Barn is covered for a further 8 years under a construction warranty, guaranteeing the structural integrity and workmanship for the property.</p><p>The Bullsend Estate has exemplary communal amenities for its residents, with a level field that provides two acres of land, hireable for private events and a quaint 26-acre orchard that historically would bear cherries and apples, a staple of the surrounding Chorleywood area.</p><p>The Threshing Barn is grade 2 listed, dating from the late 16th – early 17th century. It is typical of its type of barn from the era. Central as a hub to a farm, it was a grain store with its primary purpose to separate the edible grains from the ‘chaff’. They were designed with separate bays to lift the dry quality grains off the floor away from damp and rodents.</p><p><strong>Local Area & Transport</strong><br/>Situated close to one of the best serviced towns in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, Chorleywood keeps the independent spirit alive with a thriving high street. It has a wonderful array of shops, cafes and restaurants.</p><p>For your wider services, Rickmansworth has supermarkets and retail shops, and it is only a 9-minute drive away.</p><p>This area of the country has some of the best state and private schools. Chorleywood is renowned for its schools, with Chorleywood Primary, Christ Church Chorleywood C of E and The Russell School all highly regarded. St Clement Danes Secondary is regularly ranked as one of the best comprehensive state schools in the country and is very close by.</p><p>Chorleywood station connects with the Metropolitan Line straight into London alongside the Chiltern Railway, providing reliable and quick trains to London Marylebone station. The M25 is less than 5 minutes away guaranteeing excellent road links too.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Material Information</strong></p><ul><li>Property construction: Timber with modern insulation and traditional brick</li><li>Heating type: Electric Heating</li><li>Utilities: electric, water, sewerage & broadband</li><li>Electricity supply: Independently provided by Smartest Energy Business</li><li>Water supply: Mains connected via Affinity Water</li><li>Sewerage: Mains connected via Thames Water</li><li>Broadband: Standard download speed 14Mbps, upload speed 1Mbps, Ultrafast available (d/s 1800Mbps & u/s 220Mbps).
