An extraordinary design-led property with awe-inspiring valley views, Handley Green Barn combines striking contemporary architecture with exceptional functionality and eco-efficiency, all set within circa 0.65 acres on the edge of the countryside near Ingatestone and Fryerning.

This stylish, modern barn was recently built with black cladding beneath a natural slate roof, and offers dramatic open-plan living centred around a breath taking kitchen/dining/living space. A full-width, slim-profile sliding glazed wall frames uninterrupted views across the valley and opens onto an elevated terrace with glazed balustrade, sunken seating area, and steps down to the heated outdoor pool.

Vaulted ceilings, high-level windows and skylights flood the living space with natural light, enhancing the incredible sense of space. The kitchen features a modern Shaker design with high-end appliances and integrated ceiling speakers, while a separate utility and WC are neatly tucked away beyond. A ground floor study and en-suite bedroom with dressing area complete the main level.

The lower ground floor offers exceptional ceiling heights and superb design detailing - from timber-clad walls and curved features, to sliding pocket doors. There is a further reception room, ideal as a cinema or second living area, leading to a laundry room with outdoor space/light well. Three beautifully finished bedrooms feature on this level. Two include en-suite bathrooms and dressing rooms, while the fourth bedroom shares a stylish Jack & Jill shower room. All bedrooms enjoy access to private outdoor patios, which deliver natural light into the lower level.

The grounds include a detached garden studio, thoughtfully landscaped gardens, and a private gated driveway. Solar panels ensure low running costs, while the setting provides the best of both worlds - peaceful, semi-rural surroundings with excellent access to Ingatestone's amenities, mainline station, walks and village pubs & restaurants.
