Welcome to Balfour Barn, an exquisite barn conversion nestled in the heart of Bardfield Saling, Essex, boasting stunning countryside views and an elegant blend of modern luxury and rustic charm.

As you approach via the expansive stone driveway, which almost encircles the property, you are greeted by a sweeping view over the front garden. This idyllic setting features a front patio, perfect for enjoying the serene views of the surrounding countryside and the nearby church. The driveway comfortably accommodates multiple vehicles, ensuring ample space for guests.

The front of the property showcases traditional black wooden cladding, a hallmark of Essex barn conversions, complemented by bespoke chapel-style windows, creating a truly unique façade.

Step through the front door into an impressive entrance hall with polished concrete flooring that flows throughout the ground floor. Vaulted ceilings, character beams, and large windows flood the space with light, creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere. A striking steel and oak staircase becomes an immediate focal point, leading to the four bedrooms upstairs.

To the left of the hallway, through crittall-style doors, lies the kitchen—a chef’s dream with bi-fold doors that frame views of the front aspect. The kitchen is centered around a large island with quartz countertops and features a Neff induction hob, double slide-and-hide Neff ovens, and a spacious Siemens fridge freezer. There is also a walk-in pantry, offering ample storage.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room provides practical space, while the cozy lounge makes for an intimate TV or cinema room, illuminated by recessed spotlights. The ground floor also houses a chic downstairs WC, complete with a Lusso sink, and a separate storage area.

On the right side of the entrance hall, a grand dining hall awaits, bathed in natural light from three floor-to-ceiling windows. Character beams add to the charm, and additional storage here neatly conceals the underfloor heating manifold. The final room on this level is a spacious living area, with patio doors leading to a more private garden, which also houses the oil tank.

Ascend the grand staircase to the first-floor landing, where engineered oak flooring guides you to the sleeping quarters. To the right, you'll find the second bedroom, a generous double with vaulted ceilings, followed by the luxurious family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a masterpiece of design, featuring vaulted ceilings, character beams, built-in storage, and dual-aspect windows with countryside views. It also boasts an ensuite with a walk-in shower.

On the left wing of the property, two further bedrooms await, both showcasing vaulted ceilings and character beams. This section of the home also includes a walk-in shower room for added convenience.

Balfour Barn offers a perfect blend of countryside living with contemporary luxury, all set in the picturesque landscape of Bardfield Saling.
