Converted Grade II Listed Barn is our Property of the Month

This exceptional Cotswolds property is available to rent for families and groups of friends for either short or long term lets. Located in the gorgeous Gloucestershire village of Chedworth, the property benefits from the tranquility of a peaceful countryside setting, while still being only 7 miles from Cirencester and 11 miles from the lovely Regency town of Cheltenham. Chedworth is a thriving small rural community in the heart of England, complete with golden Cotswolds stone houses, a village pub, and a 1,700 year-old Roman villa, owned by the National Trust.

With 4 large bedrooms, this luxurious property comfortably sleeps up to 8 people, with 2 large double beds, one standard double bed, and a twin room with 2 single beds. There are 4 bathrooms in total. All rooms except the double have their own en suite, and both children and adults are well catered for in terms of rainy day activities: there are games, books, kids’ books, music systems, TVs, DVDs and more within the house itself. The property is ideal for entertaining, with a generously-sized kitchen and large dining table for 8, with room to spill out onto the patio.

The whole farmhouse and stables have been sympathetically and lovingly restored, combining two old properties into one roomy new structure. The resulting property makes the most of its Cotswold heritage with exposed honey-hued stone and dark beams, with all of its original period features complemented by the usual modern necessities (wifi, 3 large flat screen Freeview TVs, a DVD player, iPod docks in all of the bedrooms). Home comforts haven’t been neglected either, with a modern log-burning fire in the spacious living room; tasteful and understated Scandinavian style furniture; lots of sofas with squishy cushions; master, ground floor and second bedrooms all with en suite; a library well-stocked with books, and a huge two-storey glass frontage, flooding both floors of the property with lots of natural light.
