arge, light reception rooms with their double doors are flooded with natural light and, in turn, open on to a terrace which makes for the most fantastic setting to enjoy outside dining and entertaining. The five bedroom, three bath/shower room (of which two are en-suite) makes for comfortable family living and, much like the ground floor, the bedrooms are all very light. The main bedroom is particularly impressive, having built-in storage and an ensuite shower room. The south facing garden is laid to lawn and framed by a variety of established flower beds, all of which are full of colour in the summer months. Steps lead down to what has to be one of the main highlights of this property; a beautiful paddock which not only has a variety of trees and shrubs but has the River Windrush meandering through. A gravel driveway offers ample parking and there is a stone double garage which provides further parking/storage with greenhouse to the side. In all, The Barn is incredibly special and one would do well to find a a house in a more enviable setting.

ABOUT THIS AREA
B
arton is a small village, of beautiful houses on the Windrush River and appears in written records as Berton as early as 1287.
The adjacent, Guiting Power would be more widely known and is a typical Cotswolds village made up of russet-coloured houses clustered round a sloping green. This delightful village is a fascinating example of the unconscious harmony created by Cotswold masons over the centuries. The cottages, shops and inns are all beautifully cared for. The Farmer's Arms in the village and the Hollow Bottom Inn on the road leading to Winchcombe form welcome breaks on a number of glorious walks that can be taken in this area - north-westwards to Guiting Woods, south-eastwards down the Windrush Valley to Naunton, or south-westwards to Hawling. Near Guiting Power is the Cotswolds Farm Park with many interesting breeds of animal and is a favourite destination of families.
