Aylesbury Road, Wing, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7

DESCRIPTION
Binewood was created from outbuildings formerly serving West Park Farm, an early nineteenth century farmstead that sits on its own between the towns of Aylesbury and Leighton Buzzard. The main dwelling is the old threshing barn and a smaller adjoining barn has also been converted to form further accommodation that readily and naturally lends itself to being a self-contained annexe, an annexe that benefits from a private and large garden all to itself.
Some particularly charming features of the interior include exposed brick walls, stunning vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and timbers, wide floorboards, and bespoke oversize heavy wooden doors with chunky wrought iron furniture.

The front door proper leads into an impressive reception hall that in essence makes for a more than comfortable snug or sitting room and at the far end is a bathroom and the staircase. To the right is a farmhouse style kitchen, substantive enough for cooking, eating, and relaxing in. There is an oil fired Aga that has four ovens, boiling, simmering and hot plates; and the kitchen also has a butlers sink, Travertine flooring, the units being painted wood.
Both the reception hall and kitchen retain ceilings comprising thick wooden boards, a remnant of the buildings past when the granary loft would have been above. The utility room acts as a second kitchen providing homes for all the appliances alongside an oven and halogen hob. There is then the office or study with built in shelved cupboards and a pretty arched window looking onto a small courtyard.
Bearing left at the hall takes you to a formal dining room followed by the wonderful drawing room where the front is open up to the full height of the building, and the windows and doors view and give access to the gardens. Against one wall is a brick fireplace and woodburning stove and behind the drawing room resides the library.
The first floor contains five bedrooms, four of which are doubles and the fifth a very decent single. The main bedroom has an ensuite shower room, two of the guest rooms have wash basins, and there is a family bathroom. Worth mention are the attractive galleried landing over the drawing room and in one of the guest bedrooms the wonderful antique pulley mechanism still in situ from a time when the hay trolley would have been pulled back and forth between the mow hayloft and threshing floor area below.
Exiting the drawing room into the barn annexe you find an ensuite bedroom. Next is an excellent fully equipped kitchen/breakfast room prior to the wonderful open structure living area that incorporates a dining space. Stairs rise up to the mezzanine room and boast a perspective across the impressive roof timbers and rafters of the living room.

OUTSIDE
As previously stated the barn annexe possesses a generous garden with a private patio and pergola inclusive of but separate from the primary gardens to Binewood.

Binewoods approach is via a 200 yard long driveway that spurs off to the property?s personal garaging and parking. Said garaging is two open bays and the parking provides standing for numerous vehicles.
The plot is circa one and a quarter acres of sumptuous mature garden made up of lawns, shrubs and trees incorporating an orchard, a vegetable plot and greenhouse, and at the north westerly edge a charming copse complete with meandering pathways.
Across the rear of the barn are brick and stone cobbles and patios to absorb the outlook which is a haven for wildlife.
