A former recording studio where Oasis, George Harrison, Robbie Williams and other legends of the music industry once sung to the birds in the Buckinghamshire countryside is on the market for £629,950.

The Chilterns setting of the single storey building attached to a Grade II listed 17th century farmhouse in Bolter End Lane, Wheeler End has inspired countless artists to write songs that soared to the top of the charts.

The one-time recording complex at Huckenden Farm was let to Oasis for almost eight years at the beginning of this century. The group made Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and Heathen Chemistry there.

In January 2008 when the farm, farmhouse along with all the outbuildings came on the market for £3.9m the property had been owned by Suzanne Lee Barnes for 28 years.

In 1980 she and her then husband, the rock and roll blues guitarist Alvin Lee had been looking to downsize when they went to view Huckenden.

They told friends they bought it because it was smaller and would cost less to run than the manor house in 60 acres in Berkshire they owned at the time.

Although they later split up, Suzanne has always given the guitarist with the blues-rock band Ten Years After the credit for coming up with the original idea of turning one of the outbuildings into somewhere he and his friends could record in comfort and in private.

“Artists are like that,” she said. “They enjoy playing on each other’s albums. Family friends like George Harrison and Joe Brown would often turn up to jam with Alvin and lay down a few tracks.”

The music-making venue at Huckenden didn’t get on a commercial footing until 1994 after Alvin moved to Spain and she started renting out the music rooms –two and a store room – to boost her income.

The venture really took off when Suzanne’s new boyfriend Geoff Coupland, a businessman with interests in property restoration and development bought out her ex-husband’s share in the house, moved in and renovated the buildings with the help of a local restoration company. In 2000 the project won a local heritage award.

As the now sole owner of the farm Mr Coupland has subsequently been granted permission by council planners to change the use of the former recording studio to residential.

The conversion was completed 18 months ago. It has created a surprisingly spacious two storey three bedroom ranch style domain.

Robbie Williams recorded his hit song Angels in what is now the drawing room. This room measures 21ft by 20. The kitchen/dining room is 20ft by 19.

Both have windows on two sides and an oak strip floor. The kitchen has an AEG induction hob and double oven, also a built-in dishwasher and fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine.

As part of the remodelling from recording studio to house, the building has been replumbed re-wired, the insulation has been increased and new oak strip floors have been laid.

The three bedrooms upstairs are all doubles. The main bathroom has a Jacuzzi bath and separate shower cubicle. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room.

The newly named Studio House is now one of five individual properties in a private drive with a gated entrance leading to Huckenden Farm. 

There’s plenty of space for parking behind the cottages. The former studio has a private garden at the back and small garden at the front. Lyrical, you could say.
