A unique barn conversion steeped in history, on the doorstep of the Chiltern Way and only a five minute drive from Amersham mainline train station. Located on the historic Raans Farm estate, named in the Domesday Book, The Barn conforms to the rule of good conversions: the contemporary blends perfectly with the ancient.
The barns have been nestled on the site for 500 years, representing the changes taking place at that time in the rural, English landscape. Tastefully restored and renovated, every wall tells a story.
Original beams and solid timber which form the barn's framework remain providing outstanding texture and colour. A spiral staircase adds romantic flair.
Sympathetically extended with an architect designed extension, a finalist in the LABC Building Excellence Awards 2014. The Barn retains the best of open plan living with period charm. Magical, dramatic and oozing with character; exposed brickwork, historic beams and hardwood flooring throughout. The antithesis of modern cookie cutter homes. Three spacious bedrooms, including one on the ground floor with ensuite, provide the perfect family home.
With patio doors opening onto an expansive hedge lined countryside garden, enjoy a glass of wine on the large deck or an afternoon walk on the Chiltern Way, accessed directly from the courtyard car park. Four legged friends will never tire of the woodland walks on your doorstep.
Approached via a winding tree lined street, move seamlessly from urban to rural as you journey to the Barns. Still only a short walk or cycle to Amersham's mainline train station and direct 32 minute fast rail connections to London Marylebone. After a hard day's work, breathe in the fresh countryside air as you return home to the English countryside, the epitome of rural/urban living.
LOCATION
Amersham has two clearly distinguishable parts. The ancient market town (Old Amersham) is quietly alluring. It retains its olde English look and deservedly attracts visitors all year round.
Amersham-on-the-Hill (known as top Amersham to locals) has the feel of a steadily developing modern town. It provides the convenient amenities today's population demands.
The trains from Amersham run right into Baker Street/Marylebone and the roads quickly lure you out towards the open country with its scattering of farms, riding stables, tea shops and footpaths. The Tuesday market and annual French and Italian summer markets are a focal point in the town's calendar.
A pleasantly mixed-age population, Amersham is an increasingly popular choice for families with young children. Parenting becomes significantly easier and children have the childhood they deserve in this ever evolving town.
