Make wonderful memories in this 18th-century barn conversion that sleeps 12 guests and nestles just 1 mile from the popular market town of Bradford-on-Avon. This amazing property is the perfect base for families and groups of friends planning a special getaway together. Guests have 4.5 acres of beautiful grounds to explore, while the countryside path to Bradford-on-Avon is one of several local walks. Snap up fresh produce at the town’s weekly market and discover excellent independent shops, restaurants and attractions – including the 13th-century Town Bridge, Bradford on Avon Museum, the River Avon, and the Kennet and Avon Canal. Both waterways offer peaceful walks along the towpath as well as boat trips. The beautiful city of Bath, with its splendid Georgian architecture, museums and famous hot springs, is within 7 miles. Nearby National Trust sites include Lacock Abbey and The Courts Garden, both within 8.5 miles.
Take a step back in time when you enter this beautifully furnished property. Head into the open-plan living space that combines the lounge and diner – the social heart of the home. Here, whitewashed stone walls, cruck beams and oak rafters hint at the building’s rich history and blend with modern, homely comforts. Enjoy the underfloor heating as you walk over to the lounge space and discover two L-shaped sofas arranged around a TV and wood burner – the perfect ingredients for a cosy movie night together. When stomachs rumble, the airy and well-appointed kitchen awaits with a handful of amenities that make cooking holiday feasts a pleasure. Gather at the spacious dining table in the living space to enjoy the chef’s work or dine alfresco in the garden when the weather is kind. At the end of each busy day away, five sumptuous bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities, are spread across the property and each offer an excellent night’s sleep. The bedrooms include three double rooms and two welcoming twins.
A true highlight of this property are the beautiful, shared grounds that surround it. Spread across 4.5 acres, guests have two lawned gardens surrounded by woodland to explore, an orchard with a large pond and dreamy willow trees, plus a BBQ area and outdoor furniture for al fresco meals together. On-site facilities include a shared gym – a resident personal trainer can be booked by prior arrangement – and a games room for competitive evenings as a group. Ample private parking is available for up to four cars.
