A wealth of character and exposed beams
Friday, March 22, 2019
This truly exceptional detached 18th century barn conversion is probably one of the finest examples to come to the market in recent years, situated in grounds approaching one acre, close to Seer Green village centre and main line station serving London Marylebone. Ponds Barn, we believe, dates back to 1780 and is set within a very desirable location, enjoying a private outlook over its own beautifully maintained gardens and grounds. The property has retained much of its original charm in the creation of a modern home with a wealth of character and exposed beams.
Ponds Barn’s beautiful gardens and grounds are approached through timber gates into Princess Grove, with a five bar gate and long sweeping private driveway on the right leading to the property. The formal gardens have been designed for ease of maintenance, with stone pathways and patios to enjoy the sun at various times of the day. The gardens are mainly graveled and planted with specimen trees and shrubs, and immaculately topiaried juniper trees and box hedging. Ponds Barn also benefits from an area of ground to the front, predominantly lawned with established trees and shrubs, and an area of woodland to one side. Within the grounds there are various outbuildings including a timber summer house and a detached double garage.
The property is approached via an impressive reception hall with high vaulted ceiling, a stunning feature to welcome you to this home. There is a wealth of exposed timbers to both walls and vaulted ceiling which continue throughout the property. Ground floor accommodation comprises: reception hall, cloakroom, drawing room, vaulted sitting room, dining room, study, wonderful kitchen/breakfast room by Underwood, large ground floor master bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom and dressing room and doors to courtyard. To the first floor there is a part galleried landing with vaulted ceiling and small seating area, two further bedroom suites, both with built-in wardrobes and well fitted ensuite shower room.
Seer Green is situated within about 3 miles of Beaconsfield which offers a wide range of local shops for day to day needs, well regarded local schools, cafes and restaurants. For the commuter, the Chiltern Line connects the village into London Marylebone (approx. 22mins on the fast train), whilst the M40 can be reached within a few minutes' drive at junction 2. The countryside surrounding the village offers many scenic walks and bridle paths. Sport and leisure facilities are well served in the area with livery yards, golf courses and sports centres.
