Once the hayloft to one of the grandest homes in the Winchcombe area, this gorgeous barn conversion now presents a luxurious property in its own right. With characteristics from the 1880s, original features contrast beautifully with the high-standard furnishings and modern designs seen throughout the home. Upon entering the barn, you'll step straight into the stylish open-plan kitchen-dining area and living room, with exposed beams and characterful stone walls. We particularly love the lime green velvet sofa, which adds a tasteful pop of contemporary personality to the otherwise countryside design aesthetic. Across the rest of the home, you'll find soothing earthy tones and soft fabrics and furnishings that tempt those much-needed relaxation moments. When the weather is kind, enjoy alfresco meals on the patio terrace or a refreshing glass of wine in the sunshine while the kids play on the wooden swing set and slide in the courtyard. In prime position for exploring the historic town of Winchcombe and the north Cotswolds, enjoy the famously good walking in the area (preferably on foot) or take road trips out in the car to the surrounding Cotswolds villages – all of which are brimming with quintessential English countryside charm and scenary.
