Single Storey Barn Conversion In A Courtyard Setting Helions Bumstead Road | Haverhill | CB9 7AA

Single Storey Barn Conversion In A Courtyard Setting A most impressive and spacious single storey barn conversion occupying a pleasant courtyard setting at the head of 0.2 mile private driveway, in the grounds of the Grade II listed Haverhill Hall, which is located betwixt Haverhill and Helions Bumpstead. Originally built over 100 years ago, this building is a truly stunning conversion. Open and spacious with an amazing character and charm this 3 bedroom home is a perfect place for a family to enjoy all the freedoms of the open countryside and an ideal location to feel unfettered from the nagging demands of a busy world. “It may be a well-worn cliché, but we really do feel we have the very best of both possible worlds here, everything one requires is just a very short distance away and yet here we are, surrounded by countryside, and so secluded and private. Returning here is always the best part of a business day, and the moment I switch off and leave those pressures behind me, is the moment I turn into the drive.There is a very special atmosphere here that is very warm and welcoming, and so very relaxing. For all its rural setting I can still reach transportation links very easily, location and ease of access was a very important consideration and I can reach the M11 or the A14 in about 10 minutes.The centre of Cambridge, or indeed the rail station takes a journey of roughly 20 minutes, and of course we are well placed for Stansted airport which is a 35 minute drive away. We have a wealth of excellent schools in this area, and Haverhill is just minutes away and provides all the facilities and amenities one requires; shops, banks and post office, to name a few.” The barn has a wonderfully light and open feel and the spaces provide a layout that is ideal for today’s contemporary lifestyle. When entertaining, this home truly comes into its own and it lends itself to any gathering of family or friends with absolute ease. “We shall certainly miss its peaceful rural nature and the green open spaces, we have been able to enjoyed country living at its very best and this property has been a perfect country home!”
