Discreetly positioned on a quiet country lane in the idyllic and highly coveted hamlet of Maxstoke, School Farm Barn is a sublime blend of rural heritage and cutting-edge contemporary living. Completed in 2022, the home has featured in architectural publications—and rightfully so. A true grand design, this barn conversion centres around a wide-open front section that seamlessly unites the kitchen, dining and living spaces beneath a spectacular wood-panelled roof soaring to 9 metres, creating a breath-taking sense of space and drama. The stunning gallery mezzanine bridges the upper level, offering striking views across the home’s architectural core. However, it was the present owners who took this design to the next level with their exceptional vision and creative genius. They understand that exceptional interior design goes far beyond aesthetics—it transforms a house into a true home. They have cleverly created spaces that reflect their personality, evoke emotion, and support everyday life with elegance and ease. Through thoughtful design, textures, materials and light are orchestrated to evoke warmth and comfort, while form and function are seamlessly integrated to enhance how we live, relax, gather and grow. In this incredibly well-designed home, every detail has purpose—whether it’s the tactile pleasure of oak underfoot, the quiet confidence of bespoke cabinetry, or the calm harmony of natural tones and tailored lighting. It’s this level of intentionality that elevates School Farm Barn into a sanctuary—one that doesn’t just look beautiful, but feels like it belongs to you from the moment you walk in. Step through the dramatic entrance and find yourself embraced by a cathedral-like open-plan living space featuring a floating steel staircase, a mezzanine landing, and a spectacular concrete and oak media wall. The heart of the home is the exceptional Leicht-designed kitchen, complete with Corian and oak finishes, Miele and Siemens appliances, and a dedicated cook’s pantry with a built-in wine cooler—all seamlessly flowing out through 4.5-metre glass doors to a covered loggia and sun terrace. The principal suite is a sanctuary of sophistication, combining industrial style with sensual textures: polished concrete beams, a freestanding Victoria & Albert bath, Mandarin Stone marble, and Crittall-glazed walls create an atmosphere of calm and elegance. On the first floor, a full-width mezzanine and studio overlook the main space, with additional en suite bedrooms, dressing areas and storage options, all crafted with the finest materials—from oak floors and ply ceilings to handmade oak doors and V&A sanitaryware. The attention to detail and finish throughout is second to none—every internal door is 2.5 metres, handmade in oak. Flooring features oak boards, wool carpets and terrazzo tiling, with Crittall-glazed walls connecting spaces including the pantry, mezzanine, studio, boot room and a stunning backlit wine and bar wall with capacity for 80 bottles. With a total of five en suite bedrooms, the home includes cleverly designed dressing rooms, boot rooms, built-in storage, a walk-in pantry, utility room and internal garage access, all finished to the highest specification. Enhancing the lifestyle offering is a suite of smart home technologies, including Google Nest thermostats and smoke alarms, Google Mesh Wi-Fi, and digitally accessible CCTV, alarm and sprinkler systems. Thoughtful additions have continued to refine the home: custom-built bookshelves, wall panelling, additional doors, fitted curtains and blinds, and expanded wardrobe and storage solutions elevate both form and function—all with impeccable design and style. A high-performance wall-mounted battery has also been added to optimise the 20-panel solar array, allowing for greater electricity efficiency and reducing utility costs by up to one-third. Externally, School Farm Barn now includes a newly constructed oak-clad carport with a steel frame, seamlessly designed to complement the home. It incorporates a secure shed, garden utility storage and workshop, complete with indoor/outdoor lighting and e-charging-ready sockets. At the heart of the grounds, a truly stunning natural swimming pond has been created on the south side of the garden, combining the tranquil beauty of aquatic flora and fauna with the practicality of a chemical-free swimming pool—safe for dogs, birds and even emperor dragonflies. Gently sloped planted banks crafted from excavated soil now frame the pond, providing privacy and a breath-taking natural backdrop. Further extensive landscaping investments have elevated the gardens to showcase level. Mature trees, shrubs, a laurel hedge, perennial flower beds, and raised cedar vegetable plots filled with organic soil make the grounds as considered and cultivated as the interior. The exterior nods reverently to the barn’s past with its oak cladding, black-painted original brickwork and 5-metre sliding barn doors—now the awe-inspiring entrance to the home. Inside, a symphony of architectural steel, Crittall glazing, bespoke oak cabinetry and eco-conscious technology make this property a benchmark in contemporary rural luxury.
