Description

Norduck Barns originally formed part of the outbuildings to Norduck Farm which, until 1990 was part of the Abbey Estate, and was purchased in 2001 by the present owners who have recently converted three of the brick-built barns with slate roof slopes into one residence. The barn offers excellent open plan family accommodation with two well-proportioned reception rooms, a stunning kitchen/family room, a master suite to the first floor, oak doors, pine floorboards to the bedrooms and timber double glazed windows throughout.

There are several interesting outbuildings and, in total, about twenty-two acres. The property stands at the top of Lines Hill enjoying panoramic views across the Vale of Aylesbury.

Oak double doors with glazed panels open into the Dining Hall, a double aspect room with outstanding views, oak flooring and oak staircase rising to the first floor. An archway opens into the Drawing Room, again double aspect with views, oak flooring and a brick fireplace with beam over and inset multi fuel burning stove.

An oak door opens to a 39ft part vaulted Kitchen/Family Room offering a triple aspect with dramatic almost full-height windows and doors to one end with far reaching views over to Waddesdon and Brill. The kitchen cupboards are hand built by a local craftsman in beautiful English Pippi oak with burr oak panels and features include a double Butlers sink, central island with granite work top and a four door Aga, incorporating two electric ovens and grill and a four-ring halogen electric hob. There are ceramic tiles to the floor.

Off the Dining Hall is a Rear Hall with pine floorboards and exposed timbers leading to a Utility Room and a Freezer Room which opens into the largest outbuilding. Then there is a fourth Bedroom, Bathroom and Guest Suite with vaulted ceiling, double aspect views and Shower Room.

To the first floor stairwell is a full height window with superb far reaching views opening onto a Study Area leading to the Master Suite with outstanding views, Bathroom and Dressing Room with fitted drawers and open wardrobe. The second Bedroom also has double aspect views and a Shower Room. There is also a Loft Room.

Norduck Barns is approached through a five-bar gate onto the yard offering parking for numerous vehicles. The garden runs to the rear and side of the barn and adjoins the paddocks, fields and about one acre of woodland. Adjoined to the Barn is a large brick Barn (95ft x 37ft) with three internal stables, room for a further ten, light, power and water plus a lean-to brick Store (38ft x 7ft). There is a further brick Barn (74ft x 19ft) with five loose boxes, light, power and water adjoining a double storey brick Barn (32ft x 20ft) with slate roof and two loose boxes, a brick Barn (53ft x 16ft) with slate roof incorporating twelve calf pens, light and power and a timber Barn (17ft x 8ft 4 with slate roof and brick base has two loose boxes, light and power and water. The whole or part of the latter complex presents an ideal opportunity for residential development subject to the usual planning permissions.
