About this property

 

… about a mile from Southleigh, a large house beautifully converted from a barn (G191), large farmhouse (G190) and two detached cottages (G192, G193), all high on a hillside above a picturesque valley, with almost 180 degree views of amazing rolling countryside. They are surrounded by about 200 acres of fields and bluebell woods which you are welcome to wander and enjoy deer and badger watching, the stream, trout lake (fishing), duck pond (carp fishing) and the gorgeous views. An exciting range of activities is available (extra), including clay pigeon shootingamphibious vehicles and archery - tailor-made packages can be arranged. Peacocks strut the grounds, together with roaming chickens and ducks (eggs to collect), and the young, friendly owners who live next door are happy to show you their unusual pets (pigs, alpacas, ostrich, goats). Caterers can be recommended. 

 

The Barn is a smashing property, detached, south-facing, comfortable and well-equipped. At the front, brilliantly positioned to enjoy the immense views, a large suntrap terrace (picnic benches, gas barbecue) and raised deck with private 8-person hot tub (covered) and further seating, plus children’s play area with trampoline, swing, slide. Beyond this, your own enclosed grassed paddock area with plenty of room for cricket or to kick a ball around. 

Inside, smart, stylish and hugely spacious. At the front, a wonderfully light and sunny conservatory (table/chairs for 6 and comfy seating for 8, rowing machine, cross trainer) with French windows to small surrounding paved area. Porch (for coats/boots); enormous open-plan living area with big sofas (TV/Sky/DVD, Wii, woodburner) through to smart slate/oak-floored kitchen/dining area with fitted oak units and central island (TV, dishwasher, washing machine, combi-microwave, fridge-freezer plus additional larder fridge and freezer, smart red electric Aga and electric companion hob/oven) with big oak dining table; full-sized pool table and football table; downstairs loo; drying room. Off the main living area, but also with its own ramped entrance and made suitable for guests with mobility difficulties, a double bedroom (TV/DVD) with large en suite shower-room (suite) and little kitchenette/sitting area (larder fridge, microwave, TV/DVD) with sofa, table/chairs.

 

Oak stairs (stairgates) from living area to first floor landing (quiet reading area with rocking chairs) and five bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (suites, showers over baths) and TVs/DVDs, all cleverly designed to make the most of the roof space (some part sloping ceilings/Velux windows): the large master double, another neat double, and a twin, all looking out over fields behind; at the front, with rolling valley views, another smart twin and a long, narrowish room with four singles (truckles, sloping ceiling, best for maximum of 2 adults/2 children or 4 children).

Arrival after 4pm. Damages Deposit £250. Best for maximum of 12 adults. Lots to see and do nearby and plenty of on-site options for fun activities or total relaxation.

  • Holidaymaker

    "We had a fantastic 3 night weekend stay at the Barn in Southleigh. There were 10 of us staying for a family celebration. This is a definite "party house" with such a wonderfully big living/eating/cooking space. The extra kitchen proved to be fantastically useful too. Extremely comfortable beds and lots of much appreciated "extras" with games/DVDs etc."
