The barns are newly renovated with open plan living inside, creating sociable and airy spaces across two floors. The lounge areas in both barns are light and stylishly decorated with contemporary sofas, Sky Q HD TVs and the all important wood burning stoves. To top it off, bi-fold doors lead out onto attractive decked areas with hot tubs and seating to chill out, chat and take in the pretty surrounding hill views.

Preparing a meal in the well equipped kitchens is easy with dining for 8 in each although all guests can gather on the adjoining patio areas for a barbecue. It is also possible for the owners to arrange outside catering for a special celebration.

Owner Louise has thought of everything in this renovation. Both barns have ramp access and ground floor bedrooms with wet room facilities - ideal for those with mobility issues, and making the farm a perfect destination for multi-generational parties.

Visitors can enjoy walks from the door and there is plenty of space to allow the children to let off steam. The grounds back on to the owners' woodland where you have permission to build a fire, toast marshmallows or even camp overnight.
