Equestrian barn conversion in Buckinghamshire

Equestrian property in Buckinghamshire with barn conversion, stables and land

18th century Grade II listed barn conversion with four bedrooms and a stable / garage block, set in almost two acres of land in the village of Buckland, near Aston Clinton and Tring, in Buckinghamshire just over half an hour from London by train

Grimbles Barn, a beautifully presented Grade II listed barn with 18th Century origins, was renovated about nineteen years ago to a high standard and stands in nearly two acres of paddock and delightful landscaped gardens.

The owners have since built a stable / garage block with guest annex over and have recently refurbished the cloakroom, family and guest bathrooms. There is a wealth of original beams and timbers, solid oak flooring, oak latch doors and hardwood double glazed windows.

Buckland, a pretty thriving village, is in an ideal location for the commuter lying about three miles to the west of Tring with its fast rail service to Euston (c35 mins) and about five miles to the north-east of Wendover with a c50 mins rail service to Marylebone.

Grimbles Barn is eligible for the grammar schools in Aylesbury, local infant and junior schools and the popular John Colet Upper School in Wendover. Private schooling includes Berkhamsted Collegiate and the Arts Educational School in Tring.
