A delightful character home with period features and beautifully renovated interiors, in the sought-after Cotswolds village of Tarlton.
Set in a glorious position, this semi-detached barn dates to the 19th century and was thoughtfully converted for residential use in 1998. It embodies all the charm of a traditional Cotswolds home, with honey-coloured stone elevations, beautifully landscaped gardens, and characterful interiors featuring exposed beams, an attractive fireplace, lofty ceilings and solid wood doors.
Inside, the accommodation is well-proportioned and presented in a bright, neutral style that complements both the age of the property and its semi-rural setting. The layout begins with an impressive entrance hall, where characterful wooden flooring pairs beautifully with a traditional timber staircase rising to the first floor, creating a strong first impression. The dual-aspect sitting room is bathed in natural light, featuring an attractive fireplace and a half-glazed door that opens onto the garden.
The kitchen is a standout space, with a vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it offers room for dining and relaxed seating. Bespoke timber cabinetry, topped with granite work surfaces, incorporates a range of integrated Miele appliances, while a smart breakfast bar adds further practicality. Underfloor heating beneath the stone flooring ensures comfort, and French doors lead out to the garden terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. Additional ground floor space includes a useful utility room and a bathroom with a separate shower.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite, built-in wardrobes, and dual-aspect windows that enjoy lovely views. Bedroom two is a comfortable double, while bedroom three offers ample built-in storage. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
Outside, the cottage is tucked away off a quiet lane, set behind a pretty front garden enclosed by a traditional stone wall with a pedestrian gate, creating an inviting first impression. To the rear, the garden has been beautifully landscaped in a classic cottage style. A paved terrace sits directly outside the kitchen, providing an ideal space for al fresco entertaining. Beyond this, a private gravel driveway is accessed through a charming archway adorned with climbing roses and bordered by a mature, neatly clipped beech hedge, which subtly separates it from the main garden.
The rear garden itself is predominantly laid to an expansive lawn, enclosed by characterful walls and fencing. Well-stocked, mature borders and established trees provide both shade and a high degree of natural privacy, completing this attractive and tranquil outdoor space.

I love this beautifully converted barn due to its position on the edge of the village, which makes it feel wonderfully rural whilst being incredibly convenient. it is perfectly located between Tetbury and Cirencester whilst also being fantastically close to Kemble Station.
