The Tithe Barn is a recently renovated, interior designed Grade II listed barn conversion nestled in a rural secluded area within a private estate surrounded by rolling fields and extensive views, located in the epicentre of the Cotswolds Golden Triangle. The extensive programme of conversion and refurbishment of this beautiful property has created a superb space of luxury, both internally and externally, while still functioning as a welcoming cosy family home. The flexible and well-laid out accommodation extends to 2228 sq. ft. and is laid out over two floors, the top floor accessed by two facing but opposite staircases.

You enter the property via a hall and, as you access the reception to the right, be prepared to be immediately wowed. The reception/dining/kitchen room is at the heart of the house and is a dramatic space with vaulted ceilings and large floor to ceiling doors/windows offering striking rural views both to the front and rear of the property, complimenting the room by allowing light to flood into the barn. The entrance hall also leads to a spacious utility/linen room with washing machine and two tumble dryers supporting a busy family life and to a charming downstairs guest WC.

Starting with the kitchen, the bespoke fitted kitchen is a very carefully planned out space and is perfect for encouraging the family to group together in the evenings and it is also a fun drinks party space for friends to congregate and enjoy. Present is a double American style fridge/freezer, wine fridge, dishwasher, large induction hob and triple oven cooker and an excellent range of cabinets above and beneath the worktops. There is a substantial island unit with additional storage. For those family nights and dinner parties the 10-seater table is a focal point for this section of the ground floor with easy access to the kitchen and allowing a clear view of the opposite side of the barn leading to the reception and two downstairs bedrooms. The reception room is a very relaxed cosy space enhanced by the installation of a log burner and very welcoming furniture. The position of the reception is the best location for you to enjoy the gardens and during the seasons the view will never tire.

The configuration on the ground floor was designed so that the two double bedrooms and beautiful shower room were non conspicuous and with a well placed staircase and newly built chimney breast this space is not only private but feels apart from the main communal family area of the ground floor. The L shaped principal bedroom decorated in a vibrant blue wallpaper is supported by dual aspect windows, built in wardrobes in two locations and dressing table area. The 2nd well-proportioned double bedroom, also with built in wardrobe space, can easily double up as a children's play area/office or dressing room supporting the principal bedroom. The shower room with traditional panelling and Victorian fixtures and fittings demonstrates the Barns journey and the attention to detail.

As mentioned, there are two staircases in the barn. From the entrance you ascend the left-hand side staircase and you encounter the 3rd double bedroom with mirrored built in wardrobes and a wonderful shade of pink bathroom with double shower. From this room you can truly appreciate the location of the barn and that while you are in the heart of Cotswold life you have your own little piece of Idaho and the privacy this location offers. The staircase to the right leads to you a children's room (which can easily accommodate a double bed) with built in wardrobes and is serviced by a bathroom with double sinks and a bath.

Externally the grounds and the auxiliary accommodation have been purposely designed to compliment nature and the surrounding rural landscape. All buildings sit central to a wrap-around garden which areas have been carved out to crate living spaces to accommodate the wants of children and adults combined. Access the Tithe Barn by an electric farm gate the front section has been designed to allow for multi-cars to park and a carport with EV charger allows for one car to be covered. The roundabout and boarding verges boast wonderful plants/flowers/wild foliage which will change with the seasons and in the summer, this burst of colour comes into play which makes for al fresco dining from the outside patio a delight in the summer. Also to note that due to the lack of light pollution the night sky can be a magical to experience. As you walk around the right side of the barn there is a log burning hot tub and designated seating area with fire pit. The rear garden has unsurpassed views for miles and while the wild meadow -which is enjoyed from the barn is the key feature- there has been a playing area created for children to be able to enjoy the nature within the boundary of the property.

Finally, next to the main barn, an outbuilding has been converted to allow for a one-bedroom annexe with WC and a bath which can function as guest, staff accommodation or, if working from home was integral part of your life, this space is the perfect home office. The annexe sits over a double garage and from the rear of this building you can access a basement gym/storage room and plant room. This space extends to a total of 1532 sq. ft.

The Tithe Barn is a very rare opportunity for you to live in a space which has been meticulously created while still functioning as a working cosy family home on a piece of land which makes you feel you are at the pinnacle of country life while being able to access the trappings and joy of a sociable and busy Cotswolds calendar. If schools are a motivator then you are spoiled for choice with Kitebrook Prep School at a mere 4' drive and Kingham Hill Senior school 10' away. Tithe Barn is also the perfect weekend home to escape a busy London life with Moreton-in-Marsh train station at 7' and its direct line to London Paddington (under 1h30') making the journey to and from the city make sense.
