Castles Estate Agents are proud to represent this truly magnificent 17th Century Grade II listed barn conversion, offering over 2,500 sq. ft. of extraordinary living space, tucked away along a private road in the highly sought-after village of Eaton Bray. Originally built as a grain store, this remarkable building was transformed in 2004 into a breathtaking family home, combining centuries-old character with contemporary design. The result is a one-of-a-kind property where soaring vaulted ceilings, original exposed beams and dramatic architectural features create an unforgettable sense of space and style.
At the heart of the home lies a spectacular open-plan living area, bathed in natural light and framed by its towering roofline and historic timbers. Floating above this extraordinary space is the striking suspended glass and oak walkway, a bold, show stopping feature that links the upstairs bedrooms while giving uninterrupted views across the living space below. This unique glass panelled bridge is not only a practical connection but a true centrepiece, adding a sense of theatre and elegance to everyday living. From the main living area, there is access to the kitchen/breakfast room, a cosy sitting room warmed by a corner log burner, and a versatile reception room that can be used as a family snug or additional bedroom.
The first floor continues the sense of drama, with the mezzanine study overlooking the vast living space, offering a truly inspiring place to work or unwind. The principal bedroom is a showpiece in itself, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a private en-suite bathroom, while the other bedrooms are equally inviting, full of charm and character, and served by a stylish family bathroom.
Outside, the barn is approached through a five-bar gate onto a generous gravel driveway, providing ample parking along with a useful storage shed. The gardens are simply enchanting, thoughtfully designed to create multiple areas for relaxation and entertaining. To the rear, a contemporary entertaining garden invites memorable evenings with its covered patio, raised decked walkways leading across a low maintenance lawn. To the side, a romantic 'country style' garden bursts with raised flower beds, winding gravel paths, and a protected original sunken pond, a beautiful reminder of the building’s agricultural heritage.
Eaton Bray itself is a charming semi-rural village on the Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire border, surrounded by open countryside yet offering a vibrant and welcoming community. Within the village and neighbouring Edlesborough you will find everything from a traditional pub, local stores, hairdressers and an award-winning Indian restaurant. Families are well served by Eaton Bray Academy, with a pre-school on site, and a choice of excellent secondary schools in the nearby towns of Leighton Buzzard, Tring, Dunstable and Wing. For leisure, the village recreation ground offers tennis, football and a playground, while the glorious Chiltern Hills lie just moments away, providing endless opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring the outdoors.
