Combine Shed at Oosland Barns

The Combine Shed is a red brick barn that has been converted from an actual combine harvester shed into a cosy and comfortable, sleeps-4 holiday home that sits alongside the Cider House, another Oosland Barns holiday let. The cottage is set in a gravel courtyard at the centre of a working arable farm, just half a mile from the River Avon and the pretty village of Bidford-upon-Avon.

The barns and the fields around the Combine Shed were purchased by the owner’s family in the 1960s. In the 1980s the barns became grain stores, and the courtyard in front of the cottage was covered over with large steel bins for extra grain storage. In 2012, the grain barns were converted, and the grain store taken down, and the full conversion to Oosland Barns Holiday Lets was completed in 2015.

Inside, the cottage is decorated in a neutral, country-cottage style and comfortably accommodates four guests, with a very spacious and welcoming open-plan kitchen-dining-living area with a log burner and two bedrooms (one double, one twin) and a family bathroom – all on one floor so ideal for guests with limited mobility (Please note, that there are two steps up to the front door).

Ground Floor

This spacious converted barn is decorated throughout in a country farmhouse style with neutral colourways that give a pleasing, relaxed feel. The Combine Shed is on one floor (no internal stairs) and is therefore ideal for young families and guests with restricted mobility. (Note, that there are two steps up to the front door).

Hallway:
Step through the front door in to the Hallway off which is the open-plan Kitchen-Dining Area-Living Room to the right and the Bedrooms and Family Bathroom to the left. The Hallway has plenty of room for boots and shoes and hooks are provided to hang coats.

Kitchen-Dining Area-Living Area:
The open-plan kitchen, dining area and living area is a super spacious room with a stunning double-height, gabled roof and a fabulous woodburer stove. It is light and bright with windows looking out to the courtyard and rear garden. The fully equipped Kitchen has an integrated washing machine, dishwasher, fridge with freezer compartment, electric cooker and electric hob. To one side of the Kitchen is a rectangular table that comfortably seats four guests. At the far end is the Living Area with two large comfy sofas, a coffee table, smart TV, a sideboard storing games and maps, and a lovely woodburner, which will be set ready for you to light on arrival.

Bedroom 1:
The barn’s main bedroom looks out over the rear garden and has a high ceiling with exposed beams. The bedroom is furnished with a standard double bed with bedside tables and reading lamps, a wardrobe, chest of drawers and a full-length mirror.

Outside

At the rear of the cottage there is a large, fenced garden, with a lawn, patio and picnic table, which looks out across the surrounding farmland. The garden is dog friendly/dog proof (unless your dog can jump above waist height). Guests with dogs are welcome to walk them around the surrounding farm lands (please stick to the outside if the field is planted). There is parking for 2 cars beside the cottage through a small gate. A charcoal BBQ is provided - please bring your own supply of fuel.
