Property description

A four bedroom detached barn conversion with a separate three bedroom Coach House, a double garage and off street parking, on a 0,62 acres plot with landscaped gardens and a spinney outside Crafton village.

Spinney Barn is located on the fringe of the Rothschild’s, Mentmore Towers country estate. The brick under tile property has been refurbished throughout and provides flexible living accommodation with a self-contained Coach House and landscaped gardens. The main house has an open plan kitchen/dining room, an over 25 ft. by 23 ft. sitting room, an office, and a ground floor bedroom with an en suite shower room. There are two staircases to the first floor, accessing three double bedrooms, two with an en suite bathroom or shower room. There is a private electric gated gravel driveway with parking for six cars ahead of the double garage, which, with the gym, is on the ground floor of the Coach House. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, one en suite, and a family bathroom. The landscaped gardens are on three sides of the house with a spinney opposite.

Main House / Ground floor

The entrance hall has tiled flooring, a cloakroom, and stairs to the first floor. The open plan sitting room has an Inglenook style brick and tile fireplace with an inset wood burner and bi-folding doors to the courtyard entertainment area. The open plan kitchen/dining room has modern Shaker style units, stone work surfaces with integral appliances, including a range oven in a brick surround. There is an office with built-in furniture. An inner hall leads to a ground floor bedroom with a three piece shower room. A second staircase leads to bedroom three.

Coach House

The Coach House is a twin gabled brick and timber building. The gravel driveway leads to a double width car port which abuts the double garage. At the side of the garage is the gymnasium, which could be used as a reception room/kitchen which would thus create a self-contained annexe. There is an inner hall with a staircase leading to the first floor with three double bedrooms, an en suite shower room, and a three piece family bathroom.

Gardens and Grounds

The property has a laurel hedge border with post and rail fencing. The drive divides. the house from the informal garden area, laid to lawn with a stone paved patio. A path with a pergola leads to a stone paved courtyard at the side of the property. This outdoor entertainment area has an ornamental pond and a brick retained shrub border on one side. There is a timber clad summer house and outside lighting. Across the lane the enclosed spinney has a variety of mature trees.

Situation and Schooling

The property is in catchment for Aylesbury grammar schools, Cheddington Combined School, Wingrave Church of England Combined School, and Cottlesloe Secondary School in Wing.
