The Property:
5 Manor Farm Barns is an impressive Grade II Listed threshing barn dating back to the late 18th Century, situated within the Tarlton Conservation Area, which is within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It was converted and sympathetically extended in the late 1990's to a high standard to create a comfortable and spacious family home of great character. Many original details remain including exposed stone walls; arrow slit windows; blue brick paving and blue brick pillars; whilst more contemporary features include hardwired internet access throughout; underfloor heating to the ground floor; and a heat exchange/ventilation system. There is generous built-in storage within the property and fine joinery as well as some attractive reclaimed internal doors. Of particular note is the soaring 42' threshing barn itself, with glazed screens to the retained cart entrances and a beamed and vaulted ceiling. With its open fireplace and the adjacent formal dining hall, which also has an open fire, it is an enviable space for entertaining. The property is beautifully presented and was redecorated throughout, both externally and internally, in 2021.

Garden and Grounds
The property is accessed via electronic gates leading to the front of the property, with a gravel turning circle and ample parking enclosed by Cotswold stone walls. Full height timber doors open to the cart entrance of the threshing barn, which is paved with blue brick and could accommodate a car. To one side, an oak door leads to the workshop area, which also has three sets of part glazed doors opening to the drive. Subject to necessary permission, this could be converted to create further accommodation.
An iron gate to one side leads to the sheltered paved courtyard garden and to the 'through store' which has double timber doors to both sides and leads to the garden. A further set of electronic gates to the rear of the threshing barn leads to a second driveway, which will accommodate several vehicles and has a raised vegetable bed, fruit cage, aluminium greenhouse, timber storage shed and a concealed area for the oil tank. Double doors lead to the rear cart entrance and a door to the side leads to a further covered passage, which leads to the rear garden. The rear garden has been carefully designed to provide different sheltered seating areas and is predominantly laid to lawn; with various shrubs and trees; two interconnected ornamental ponds and an attractive circular timber garden store with a thatched roof. It is adjacent to farmland and has a peaceful and uninterrupted outlook. There is a contemporary timber garden room with power and wired internet access. The garden room is not included in the sale but could be available by negotiation.
