The Silo

You feel a buzz of excitement when you arrive at this unusual round building in a wonderfully quiet location. Its industrial corrugated exterior fits this countryside setting perfectly and it has been lovingly converted into a comfortable holiday retreat.

As you race in to find your way around, you will find the master bedroom on the ground floor with French doors looking out across the garden. Embracing the shape of the silo, this super king-size bedroom has wooden beams above mimicking sun rays and in the en-suite the circular shower is a wonderful addition. The open plan living area has a dining table in front of the stunning views with kitchen units shaped along the curved wall. Spend time here over evening meals and board games with the Juliet balcony doors open to really appreciate this area. The sofa here can be converted to a bed while the second bedroom is on a mezzanine second floor.

Outside, race across the fairytale bridge to say hello to the horses in the neighbouring field and gather at the picnic bench for summer BBQs. There is lawn space for the dogs to play and you will find a network of footpaths you can follow with the D’Arcy Dalton Way passing close by. While you may feel secluded from the real world, you are just a short drive from Blenheim Palace, Chastleton House and Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens.

Ground Floor

Bedroom One:
Hidden at the back of The Silo bedroom one makes the most of this stunning location. The super king-size bed looks out to the French doors which provide access to the terrace. It is a wonderfully light room with wooden beams above, bedside tables and an armchair where you can enjoy the view no matter the weather. To one side a dressing area and chests of drawers are hidden behind a curtain.

En-Suite:
Beside the dressing area is a circular shower with a rainfall head for a truly immersive experience. At the opposite end of the bedroom you will find the WC and sink.

Utility:
When you first enter The Silo there is a small utility area with a washer/dryer and sink. Here you will find space for boots and bags and you can dry off muddy dogs after a country walk.
