Property description

Barn conversion located in the heart of Colerne. Recently extended and refurbished throughout, the property offers five double bedrooms (two en suite), kitchen/breakfast room, three reception rooms, south facing gardens with expansive views and a large garage/workshop with loft storage and parking.Tucked away in the heart of the pretty Wiltshire village of Colerne, The Barn is a fabulous family home that has been in the present owners’ possession since 1933. Originally a barn to the rear of the main family house in the High Street, it was cleverly converted into a superb dwelling, in its own large grounds. It is now a glorious blend of a traditional Cotswold building with a stunning oak timbered and glazed modern extension.The owners say: “Colerne is a charming and much sought after Cotswold village. It sits on the edge of a plateau, looking over the beautiful Box Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a busy and friendly community life, with many clubs and groups, as well as a newsagent, convenience store, post office, primary school and two pubs. You can enjoy the local scenery as you walk across the fields to nearby Corsham, or join the monthly organised walk from the village.”“Colerne offers the best of both town and country living as it is only approximately seven miles from the vibrant and historic city of Bath. It is only a twenty minute drive to Bath for schools, work, cultural pursuits and leisure. And for the commuter, who needs to go further afield, there is easy access to the M4. Chippenham is approximately 8 miles away and offers a mainline rail link to Paddington.”“The Barn offers a fantastic collection of visual treats. The soaring windows frame lovely views across the countryside, and the use of traditional aged oak timbers are an attractive connection to its agricultural history. The rooms are awash with natural light creating a warm and positive ambience throughout the home. The layout of this beautiful and spacious home has been carefully thought out. The garden room with two walls of Cotswold stone is where you can relax and look across the valley to watch the constantly changing skies and the beauty of seasonal colours. It is an idyllic spot to sit and savour the peaceful surroundings.”“The house is the perfect entertaining venue and guests generally gather in the farmhouse kitchen that is the initial communal space, and then filter through the house. They will be wowed by the spectacular views from the oak framed window in the mezzanine, and can mingle and chat in the lounges before spilling into the garden. The Barn is at its best when full of people, and has been the charmed setting for many family celebrations. The entire house is used and appreciated, but the master bedroom is an adult sanctuary. You can throw open the doors to the Juliet balcony, and have morning views across the garden to the landscape beyond. It is wonderful to wake to this scene on a shiny summer morning.”“The garden has been designed as a series of spaces each with its own appeal. The hideaway area with its protective hedges is the ideal place to sit and unwind. The fruit trees, lawns and borders provide interest and colour. Tucked away at the bottom of the garden is an Anderson Shelter, which is more than an engaging historical feature, as it could provide a novel place for children’s sleepovers.”The Barn is a truly rare and serene property and one which the owners will be sad to leave. It has been part of the family for four generations and was to be a forever house. They are now relocating but know that the next owners will come to love The Barn and appreciate its many delights.
