This charming Grade II listed country house and adjacent barn offers a striking timber framed exterior, with a sympathetic contemporary interior.The house is of timber framed construction beneath a high pitched tiled roof. The barn forms part of the listing and is weather boarded on a high brick foundation. Both properties offer a wealth of original period features with exposed beams being a key feature.

The present owners have sympathetically used the period features of the exterior, to adapt the interior to a comfortable, modern family home. During the past ten years improvements have included decorations, bathrooms and conversion of the barn and stabling to ancillary accommodation, including a utility room, gym
and home office.

A generous reception hall, with feature fireplace, welcomes you into the house and doubles as a family room/bar area, with adjacent cloakroom. The double aspect sitting room has a significant open fireplace with exposed beams and sitting area, with access onto the garden. The adjacent triple aspect dining room has an additional large open fireplace and exposed beams, with views to the garden. Approaching the kitchen is a self-contained utility room with butler sink and storage cupboards. The kitchen/breakfast room features a butler sink, modern 3 oven gas Aga and 2 oven electric Aga, integral appliances of dishwasher and under counter fridge and access to a larder and fridge/freezer room.

To the first floor of the house is the master bedroom, comprising a bedroom with vaulted ceiling, built in wardrobes, exposed beams and en suite bathroom. A second guest bedroom has an en suite wet room with under floor heating. Three further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom and additional shower room. A charming attic bedroom 6 is situated up a further flight of stairs into the roof space, providing a unique hideaway for a child!

The barn has been upgraded to now provide full air conditioning and heating for ancillary accommodation to the main house. On the ground floor is a large utility room and shower room with under floor heating, with a spacious garage and store room to the rear. Upstairs is a large open plan space for socialising and games. The eight stables have been carefully converted for use as a home office, gym, storage areas and workshops. The stables can easily be converted back for equestrian purposes.

Situation
The property is situated in a highly desirable location, lying discreetly in a private setting, in a single track road leading solely to this property at the conclusion of the lane. For the commuter, West Ruislip mainline station and underground provides a service to London (Marylebone fast train 23 mins) and Junction 1 of the M40 provides access to the motorway network.

Outside
The level private grounds approach an acre in all. The house is approached via a gated entrance, at the conclusion of a rural lane. The mature setting has been enhanced by landscaping that has created level private gardens which include lighting, a pond with water features, dining terrace in front of the previous pool house, which the new owners could convert back. All pumps etc are still in situation. The pool house now serves as an indoor bbq area with wet bar and sink with shower room to the rear. A historic air raid shelter provides wine storage.
