Barrow, Boddington, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL51

Set in a glorious semi-rural setting, The Barn is a characterful and imaginative conversion of a arange of traditional farm buildings that now offer flexible family accommodation surrounding a very private south west facing courtyard and heated swimming pool.

Arranged over two floors and around a central galleried reception hall, the accommodation boasts excellent proportions with a number of attractive detailed features such as exposed beams, parquet flooring and a red brick ingle nook fireplace complete with wood burner in the drawing room. Numerous windows take in multiple aspects of the gardens and grounds and mean each of the rooms fill with natural light.

Arranged around a central island, looking out onto the patio through large picture windows, the kitchen is fitted with a range of units on two sides under a granite work surface and incorporates a dishwasher, electric hob, fridge freezer and an attractive green three door Aga.

Upstairs, two of the bedrooms enjoy en-suite bathroom facilities and dressing areas, the other two bedrooms overlook the swimming pool and are catered for by the family bathroom.

Gardens and Grounds
Set in a private plot extending to some 2.6 acres, the main dwelling sits to the front of the property behind a gated carriage driveway.

Extending to some 100sq meters, on the opposite side of the courtyard, the cottage also enjoys the view over the pool and small self studio on the first floor of the Dutch barn offers further flexibility to the property.

A range of outbuildings, stables, garages and hard standing lends itself to various opportunities other than equestrian usage
although this is a perfect arrangement for a small yard. The paddocks and a old manege to the rear of the property back onto open farmland.

Services
Mains water and electricity. Private drainage (septic tank). LPG fired central heating.
