East Claydon, Buckinghamshire

Developers Insight

Occupying an enviable location in the glorious Buckinghamshire countryside is The Granary, a brand new five-bedroom barn conversion that boasts around an acre of grounds and spectacular rural views.

“We are a local general building contractor who also do a number of high quality small development projects when the opportunity arises” says the developer. “In 2021 we were offered the opportunity to convert a concrete barn with Class Q planning permission into a really outstanding, highly individual family home. It just happened to be local to where we operate from, and so we decided that the opportunity was exactly what we were looking for.”

“Class Q only allows you to work within the footprint and volume of the existing structure, so we had some limitations and parameters that we had to work within. The brief from our clients was to produce a large family home, one that was suited for modern living with light open spaces, and we wanted it to have a rural barn look but with a contemporary twist. The building has been constructed from timber-framed SIPs panels, with British Sweet Chestnut cladding, complimented by triple glazed aluminum doors and windows and a black aluminum powder coated roof. Inside the layout has been designed to be conducive to both modern living and entertaining, and also to take full advantage of the exceptional views.”

“We’ve also added solar panels, a Lightwave lighting system that allows all lights to be controllable via an App, as well as manually, and there’s a Heatmiser Neohub that controls the heating system, which again is fully controllable and programmable both manually and via an App. And for added security the main entrance door is fitted with an Ultion Bluetooth multi-point locking system.”

“Outside we’ve adjusted the levels within the garden to ensure all areas can take advantage of the fantastic views, and to ensure that there are places to enjoy both sun and shade all day long. We’ve created a full-length, granite paved entertaining area, which is accessed from the seven-meters of sliding doors installed at the rear of the house, and the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn. By separate negotiation, an additional adjoining paddock – approximately seven acres – may also be purchased, and there are extensive bridleways close by so it could be ideal for anyone wanting to keep horses.”

“This is an outstanding property and it sits in a magnificent location. The immediate surroundings are very rural and so the views are absolutely spectacular, however the property is by no means isolated. It takes under ten minutes to drive to the market town of Winslow, which has a new train station opening in 2024, and Milton Keynes, Aylesbury, and Buckingham are all within fifteen miles. There are excellent train and motorway links close by, making it ideal for commuters, and Winslow is within the catchment area for the Royal Latin Grammar School in Buckingham and the Aylesbury Grammar Schools as well as a selection of well-regarded private schools so it’s a fantastic place to raise a family.”

This is quite simply an exceptional property, and one that has been beautifully designed and built to the absolute highest standards. Rarely do new, individual properties in such idyllic surroundings and with such wonderful views become available to market.
