4 rooms house of 190m² in Dacorum

Set at the foot of the Ashridge Estate, within the picturesque village of Albury, this Grade II Listed converted barn offers a rare combination of character, space and setting.The house retains a strong sense of its origins, with wide-board oak flooring running through the ground floor, alongside exposed brickwork, oak beams and traditional latched doors. These details are balanced by a clean and thoughtful presentation, creating a home that feels both grounded and comfortable.The accommodation is flexible and well arranged. From the entrance hall, a cloakroom and fourth bedroom sit alongside a useful rear hallway or study area, complete with generous storage. A family room provides an additional reception space on this level.The kitchen is fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry in a soft grey tone, complemented by granite worktops and a Rangemaster cooker, along with integrated appliances. Dual-aspect windows look out towards both the courtyard and the front garden, bringing in natural light throughout the day.Upstairs, the main sitting room forms the heart of the house. Positioned on the first floor, it is defined by a double-height vaulted ceiling and exposed structure, creating a sense of volume and light. Windows on both sides frame views towards the surrounding countryside and the garden, while a wood-burning stove provides the focal point of the room.From here, a hallway leads to two further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. A staircase rises up to a galleried top-floor landing, where the principal bedroom sits beneath another vaulted ceiling, complete with its own en suite shower room and a calm, neutral finish.Outside, the rear garden is laid to lawn, bordered by mature planting and enclosed by beech hedging, offering a good degree of privacy. A flagstone terrace provides space for outdoor dining and seating.To the front, a cobbled driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles, along with access to a garage, which includes useful storage above (prospective tenants should note there is no power to the garage).
