Barn in Balsham near Cambridge Countryside

This luxury barn conversion, set in 7 acres of woodland and wildflower meadow, offers the perfect escape with breathtaking views of the Cambridgeshire-Suffolk border. Recently completed to eco-passivhaus standards, the barn is designed to keep you comfortable in both summer and winter. The open-plan interior features a light, airy space with charming old beams, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cosy lounge with views of the countryside and woodland.

The kitchen is equipped to the highest standard with a full oven, induction hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge, and seating for four. The living room offers a velvet sofa and armchair, ideal for relaxing in front of the digital TV or listening to music through the sound dock. Doors open onto a spacious Indian sandstone patio with a stylish rattan garden sofa, perfect for lounging or enjoying a firepit in the evening.

The master bedroom, with a king-size bed, offers a tranquil retreat with fresh pastel tones and its own private patio, while the twin room is designed with a blend of industrial style and natural elements. Both rooms feature luxury Silent Night Eco Mattresses for a restful night’s sleep. The luxury family bathroom includes a bath, waterfall shower, and heated towel rail. The barn also has a hairdryer and GHD hair straighteners for your convenience.

The property also offers a range of activities, including exploring the private woodland, spotting wildlife such as hares, deer, and red kites, or taking a short drive to nearby attractions like the Linton Zoo, Duxford Imperial War Museum, and Cambridge. There are also plenty of walking and cycling routes in the surrounding area, including the famous Icknield Way trail.

For those who prefer not to drive, the village of Balsham is just a short walk away, where you can enjoy a coffee at The Old Butchers, visit the village store, or explore the local 13th-century church. With a range of local pubs and cycling opportunities, this property offers a perfect base for a relaxing and adventurous getaway.
