Dayscott Barn dates back to the 1800s and was formerly the carriage house, pig sties, and stables of Gumbrills Farm House. It was converted to residential accommodation in 1990 and has since been remodelled by our clients and in our opinion is simply stunning.

There is a bio mass heating and water system, solid oak internal doors with handmade handles throughout, underfloor heating, a bespoke open plan kitchen/dining/family room, and a refitted en suite shower room and bathroom. The hallway and all the bedrooms have engineered hardwood flooring. Our property still retains character exposed timbers throughout and upon viewing you will simply fall in love with Dayscott Barn.

There is also the potential to rent further land for horses nearby, and with a bridleway on your doorstep, this stunning Barn conversion really does appeal to the equestrian community.

It was the stunning situation of the property which first attracted us to Dayscott Barn,” say the current owners of this secluded 4 bedroom barn conversion, “on a quiet, single track country lane which ends in a bridleway stretching for miles out into the fields. We can walk into the village from here too, for the park, two pubs and local shops.”

“The house itself is full of character and charm, too,” say the owners, “having been converted from an agricultural building into a stunning home which still hints at its heritage with exposed beams and maker’s marks. The property was in need of some renovation when we bought it, so we have since poured our heart and soul into refurbishing the house to the highest of standards, creating our dream family home. Perfectly designed for sociable open plan living, the accommodation flows across one continuous space, with the stunning kitchen serving as the heart of the home.”

The secluded gardens serve as an extension of the house itself during the warmer months of the year. “It is so peaceful and secure here,” say the owners, “with space for children and pets to run around in safety while adults sit and enjoy the views. The easy maintenance garden is surrounded by hundreds of acres of open countryside, where we can let the dogs off the lead and walk for miles. We simply step out of our door into an expanse of space.”

The local area has much to offer in the way of convenience too, being rural yet well placed for local towns and centres. “The rural location has allowed us to enjoy the freedom of country living,” say the owners, “whether taking in the amazing vistas from our upstairs windows or roaming the farmland outside. The North village of North Crawley is picturesque with its period architecture, and offers various amenities to include a farm shop, village store, two pubs, a 12th century church and a well regarded Church of primary school. Meanwhile, all the convenience of modern life is within easy reach, with the market towns of Milton Keynes, Northampton and Bedford all close by for more extensive amenities and trains to London.”

“Our beautiful bespoke kitchen is the heart of our home, with the handmade oak island which we gather around to catch up at the end of each day, and bi fold doors opening out onto the garden.”*
