Offered for sale for the first time since the 1950s, Barnhurst represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire and restore a substantial period home, set within approximately 1.24 acres including gardens and a separate orchard which could be a pony paddock.
Believed to date from the early 1900s, this fascinating property has remained in the same ownership for around 70 years and now offers an exciting opportunity for its next owner to create a very special family home.
Barnhurst requires comprehensive updating and modernisation, but therein lies much of its appeal. The house retains a wealth of period character and provides the proportions, architectural detail and setting from which to undertake a sympathetic restoration.
Throughout the house are reminders of its origins, including high ceilings, large windows, numerous fireplaces, cornicing and generously proportioned rooms, many enjoying an attractive outlook over the south-facing rear garden.
The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms are approached. The Drawing Room and Dining Room are particularly impressive spaces, while the Family Room provides a further well-proportioned reception room.
The kitchen is currently fitted with a dresser unit and includes a serving hatch to the Dining Room, Worcester oil-fired central heating boiler and cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. A door opens directly onto the rear garden, while an opening leads through to the Utility Room, which provides additional work surfaces, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a further dresser and access to the front of the property.
The sense of space continues upstairs. The Principal Bedroom is an impressive 22'3" in length, extending into a wide bay window, and benefits from an en suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms, served by two bathrooms, providing five-bedroom accommodation in total.
Gardens, Grounds & Orchard
The setting is a particularly appealing feature of Barnhurst. The property occupies approximately 0.37 acres of house and gardens, complemented by a separate orchard of approximately 0.87 acres, giving an overall holding of around 1.24 acres.
To the rear of the house, broad steps descend from the patio onto a substantial expanse of south-facing lawn, surrounded by established trees, shrubs and mature rhododendrons. The garden has a wonderfully private, established character and provides an attractive backdrop to many of the principal rooms.
Beyond the rear boundary, and accessed across a driveway serving two other properties, lies the orchard. Extending to approximately 0.87 acres and adjoining farmland, this additional area is a rare and particularly attractive feature of the property.
Barnhurst is approached over a private driveway providing parking for approximately four cars, with a tandem-length car port offering covered parking for a further two vehicles.
For those looking at the property's future potential, there is also lapsed planning permission for the erection of a double garage/garden room and toilet, granted in 2005 under application reference 05/01389/FUL. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with the relevant local authority regarding any future proposals.

For public transport, a bus stop is approximately 393 metres away on Magpie Lane. Seer Green railway station is approximately 2.8 km from the property, while Amersham station is approximately 4.5 km away.
