About this property
A charming converted semi-detached barn with many original features and beams based on a small working dairy farm that is steeped in history dating back to the late 10th Century.
Originally a cart shed Leonard Barn has been sympathetically restored and renovated retaining many of the charming original features. Inside you will find beautiful authentic beams with high ceilings in the sitting room following through French doors onto a private courtyard garden. The Barn has a large family kitchen diner which is the perfect place for everyone to sit down and enjoy a meal and catch up over a glass of wine. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms sleeping five comfortably and a family bathroom.
Set in a unique setting on one of the oldest sites in Gloucestershire the barn offers fantastic views over the countryside and a pretty fishing pond and backs onto an impressive Anglo Saxon chapel.
Leonard Barn is in the centre of a pretty Cotswold village and you will find the local pub 100 yards up the road, ideal for a drink or a spot of lunch after walking the number of rambling paths on your door step. Jump in the car and within twenty minutes you will find the historic towns of Gloucester where parts of Harry Potter films were made in the imposing Gloucester Cathedral and also the chic spa town of Cheltenham with it’s shopping, restaurants and bar scene.
Leonard Barn is great for kids by prior arrangement you can visit the farm and see the baby calves and also watch the cows being milked. All in all Leonard Barn makes a great change of pace for an idyllic break in the countryside. This property can be booked alongside Stanley Barn and Priory Barn for larger family celebrations.

Lovely little cottage (shame it rained pretty much constantly, but I can't hold that against the place). Lovely big kitchen/diner, well equipped, and all clean and tidy. Recommended!I read other reviews that said the velux blind in the larger bedroom doesn't really block out much light - it's true! (but we were there in November, so it wasn't really a problem)

Lovely cottage, nicely furnished, well appointed, clean and very pleasant to live in. Helpful owners. Nice location. Only real problem was that despite the efforts of the owner it was impossible to exclude light from one of the bedrooms. The blind for the window in the roof was not very effective, even had it worked, and very difficult to get at - as was the handle for opening for ventilation - and in any event the blind wouldn't stay put. Still excellent overall, though.
