4 bed barn conversion for sale

Kilnfield Barns, Chignal Road, Chelmsford, Essex CM1

Tucked behind private electric gates, Kilnfield Barns is a newly completed, boutique development of just eight individually designed barn conversions, each offering something entirely unique.

This particular home blends the warmth of handcrafted traditional materials with the convenience and precision of modern interior finishes, across approximately 1,856 sq. Ft of luxury living space.

The heart of the home is the 3-bedroom oak-framed barn, defined by its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and impressive open-plan layout. Every corner has been thoughtfully designed — from the bespoke Thomas Hammond kitchen with quartz worktops and integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances, to the handcrafted banquette seating that anchors the dining area.

The living space flows effortlessly into the garden, thanks to dual sets of full-height bifold doors that open onto a full-length patio and your own private, professionally landscaped garden.

One of the most distinctive features of this home is the detached one-bedroom annexe — a two-storey building that was once the original forge of the working farm. As the oldest structure on the development, it carries a unique sense of history, now reimagined with thoughtful, contemporary finishes. The annexe offers exceptional versatility, functioning equally well as accommodation for extended family, a private guest suite, a dedicated home office, or even as a short or long-term rental unit. This standalone space allows for privacy and independence while remaining closely connected to the main residence, making it a valuable and character-rich addition to the overall property.

Outside, the wraparound garden is both beautiful and practical — with raised planters, extensive patio areas, and secure boundaries. There’s a traditional oak-framed garage offering covered parking, plus a versatile additional roomideal for gym use, a home studio or tool store.

A discreet EV charging point and ample guest parking ensure the home is future-ready, while residents enjoy shared use of a landscaped amenity meadow — perfect for morning dog walks or tranquil evenings.

Despite its peaceful and private countryside setting, Kilnfield Barns is just a 10-minute drive from Chelmsford city centre and mainline station, where direct trains reach London Liverpool Street in as little as 35 minutes. This makes it an ideal location for those seeking a calm, rural lifestyle without compromising on connectivity or commuting convenience.

The property is also exceptionally well-placed for access to some of Essex’s most prestigious schools. These include the highly regarded King Edward VI Grammar School (kegs), Chelmsford County High School for Girls (cchs), the independent New Hall School, and the renowned Felsted School, all within easy reach.
