A striking barn conversion on the edge of Great Dunmow, complete with its own indoor swimming pool and leisure suite, has come onto the market with a guide price of £1.395 million.

Maysland Barn, located on Dunmow Road in the sought-after Essex market town, blends period character with modern luxury and offers more than 4,000 sq ft of versatile living space, including a self-contained annexe.

The five-bedroom detached home, marketed by Beresfords, features an impressive vaulted reception hall with exposed beams and a large brick fireplace, setting the tone for the rest of the property.

At the heart of the home is a contemporary kitchen and breakfast room fitted with high-spec integrated appliances, alongside a separate utility room.

Multiple reception spaces include a snug with wood burner, a study or library, and a substantial sitting room with doors opening onto the garden terrace.

One of the standout features is the indoor leisure complex, which includes a heated swimming pool, sauna, changing facilities and a games area large enough to accommodate a snooker table.

The property also benefits from a self-contained annexe with its own open-plan living space, bedroom and en-suite, making it suitable for guests, extended family or independent living.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, including a principal suite with dressing room and en-suite bathroom, as well as a family bathroom.

Externally, the landscaped gardens offer a mix of manicured lawns, mature trees and multiple seating and dining terraces.

A purpose-built cabana provides additional entertaining space, while a separate outbuilding is currently used as a gym or studio.

The home is accessed via a large private driveway leading to a double garage with electric doors.

Great Dunmow offers a range of shops, schools and amenities, while nearby Bishop’s Stortford, Braintree and Chelmsford provide further retail and leisure options.

The area is well connected via the A120 and M11, with Stansted Airport nearby and direct rail links to London Liverpool Street from Chelmsford in around 36 minutes.

The property was listed for sale on July 8.
