    About this property

    • Seven Stars Barn is situated in a fabulous position which offers the best of both worlds: well-connected to London and Heathrow, whilst backing onto open countryside over which there are beautiful, far-reaching views and the opportunity for many great walks or cycle rides.

      The exacting specification put together by the owners bestows the property with all the modern conveniences you can imagine, whilst being a true example of sustainability; giving new life to a listed building, and yet still being covered by a build warranty.

      The Barn is listed Grade II dating back to the 18th century and earlier. It was designed and converted by the current owners, in partnership with McCurdy & Co. (Historic Renovation Specialists renowned for Shakespeare's Globe Theatre) and award-winning structural engineers, Clive Hudson Associates.

      A stunning example of contemporary conversion inside and out, with vaulted ceilings crossed by exposed trusses and beams throughout with full-height aluminium framed, energy efficient, double glazed Threshing Doors offering excellent natural light and amazing open sky views.

      The property is ideally suited to families or professionals, with ample space for entertaining with all bedrooms either en suite or with a bathroom adjacent.

      The internal standard of décor is extremely high, marrying the significant history of the building with all modern conveniences and premium appliances to stylish effect in a modern country style.

      Highlights include underfloor heating on both floors, sliding full height doors to the garden, fitted wardrobes in three of the bedrooms and a security alarm; the gates are also electronically operated for additional security.

      The layout is well planned to offer a choice of reception rooms, the most striking being the main open plan living space: a 45ft room comprising a contemporary kitchen, sitting area and dining space, with an open archway onto an adjoining snug. The room has a vast vaulted ceiling, with the walls a mix of brick and infill within the timber frame, and there is a modern wood-burning stove which rises all the way up to the ceiling.

      From the impressive entrance hall, doors also open to a boot room, study and the ground floor bedroom, which has an adjacent bath and shower room and is tucked behind a door making the space feel very separate – it would be ideal for grandparents living at home or an au pair. Also leading off the kitchen is a very spacious utility room and a cloakroom with WC, with an internal door into the garage.

      A stunning glass and wood staircase rises to the first floor where there are three further bedrooms, all of which are en suite. The principal bedroom is real draw, with its en suite with twin vanity, roll top bath and separate WC, and a wall of built-in wardrobes.

      The sweeping gravel driveway to the side offers plenty of private parking, and there is an attached garage with barn style doors and a useful storage room to the side. The garden backs onto open fields and a strategically placed terrace slightly elevated to take in the views.

      The rest of the garden is lawned, with a second terrace adjoining the house and wrapping around the side.

      One can indulge in the ultimate relaxation on the terrace, where a hot tub awaits amidst sweeping countryside views.
