Little Owl Barn

Sitting on the fringes of a tiny hamlet, along a quiet lane, Little Owl Barn is a contemporary, detached barn conversion overlooking orchards and the surrounding countryside. A network of footpaths, bridleways and lanes weave through the landscape and are ideal for exploring on foot or on two wheels.

This spacious barn offers a comfortable retreat for four guests. On the ground floor, you’ll find a beautifully equipped kitchen, with everything you need for a self-catering stay. At one end there’s a sunny dining nook, which is a lovely space for your morning coffee. There’s a spacious living/dining room with bi-fold doors leading to a private terrace, a large corner sofa and comfy chair giving plenty of seating for four, a dining table and a stylish wood-burning stove in the corner. There’s a large smart TV for rainy days and evening entertainment. The shower room for the barn is also on the ground floor. Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms; one king size and one twin and a second WC.

Little Owl Barn occupies a quiet setting to one side of the owner’s farmhouse, with beautiful orchard views from the private terrace. This is a lovely area to enjoy alfresco dining and relax on sunny afternoons when the weather is kind. Watch for rabbits and woodpeckers and if you are lucky, the owls that roost in the orchard. With nothing but the sound of birdsong and the wind in the trees, it’s a place where you can easily while away the hours. To the front of the barn is private parking for two cars.
