Sitting just outside the village of Elkstone high above the Cotswolds, Oldbury Barn is a rural Cotswold stone barn conversion. Surrounded by countryside valley views with footpaths leading from the garden, this is an immersive Cotswold escape.

A large open plan living area with a high ceiling and exposed beams is the hub of this wonderful family home. Large windows and French doors let you expand this space into the garden. There is a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area and plenty of space to stretch out and relax in front of the woodburning stove. Two en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor make Oldbury Barn a fantastic choice for multi-generational holidays. The home is full of colour and character and you will feel at ease here, making it your own for a short while.

The garden is ideal for those staying with children. A lawned area has space to play and there is a swing/slide set so you don’t have to worry about keeping the youngsters entertained. Sit on the terrace soaking in the views and serve meals cooked on the BBQ to make the most of this amazing location. The gravelled parking area to the front of Oldbury Barn provides ample space for six cars.

Kitchen/Dining/Living Room:
The centrepiece of this home is the stunning, open plan kitchen/dining/living area, which runs the full length of the barn. Fabulous exposed beams, an arched window with a seat and a woodburner make this the place you will spend most of your time.

Sitting at the centre of the open plan area is a contemporary oak table that expands to seat all guests. The table is positioned beside the superb central arched window, giving diners a great view out to the garden. On the other side of the dining table is a long sideboard with a Sonos speaker and lots of family games.
At the far end is space to relax and chill out on two three-seater sofas or an armchair perfectly positioned to enjoy the large woodburner in the inglenook fireplace or simply curl up with a good book.
