Property description

A modern three/four bedroom barn conversion with a landscaped south easterly facing garden and allocated parking, in the village of Lilley.

The barn is set in a select development of just seven properties converted in 2020, and this property was originally a grain store. It has approximately 1,524 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors and including an over 30 ft. open plan kitchen/dining room and adjoining sitting room which has newly installed bi-fold doors to the garden and underfloor heating. The ground floor has underfloor heating throughout. It has an entrance hall with a cloakroom, and an additional room which could be used as a family room or as a ground floor bedroom. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a main bathroom which has a bath with a shower over and a vanity washbasin. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room. The development is fuelled by an underground Calor Gas storage tank for the properties. The property has two allocated parking spaces and an EV charging point.

Kitchen/Dining Room and Sitting Room

The kitchen/dining room and sitting room are open plan and have Karndean flooring and ceiling spotlights throughout. The kitchen has a high ceiling with Velux windows, and a window to the front. There are built-in units, a central island which incorporates a breakfast bar, and marble work surfaces with an inset butler sink. Appliances include a built in electric double oven, an induction hob, a microwave, a water softener, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The sitting room has bi-fold doors to the garden.

Outside

A gravelled courtyard at the front of the property provides a seating area. There is gated access leading to the rear garden which is south easterly facing and has been professionally landscaped to be low maintenance with a focus on entertaining. It is designed to look like a Mediterranean garden with a dry river bed running through with a water feature. A bridge over the river links two York stone patio areas for al fresco dining and entertaining. The garden is fully enclosed and is not directly overlooked.

Situation and schooling

Lilley is a small village between Hitchin and Luton in Hertfordshire. It is in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with many countryside walks nearby. The church, rebuilt in the 19th century, has original features and a fine Elizabethan heraldic memorial. The property is walking distance from village amenities which include a village hall and pub. The village is about 10 minutes’ drive from Hitchin which has a wider range of amenities and schools including the Boys' and Girls' schools which are both rated Outstanding by Ofsted and the Priory School, the only co-educational secondary school in Hitchin.
