Barns Close is a sensational family house set in a secluded and elevated position on the edge of the village. The property is approached through entrance gates via a gravel drive to a parking area at the front of the house. The drive continues around to the side of the house with additional parking and a double car port. The house and buildings are positioned well within its grounds, offering good privacy but without isolation. The current owners have passionately maintained the property during their tenure, the result of which is an impressive home with some wonderful features.

Typical of its period, the house has excellent principal rooms, large fireplaces, stone and wood floor coverings, good ceiling heights and large wide-pane windows providing an abundance of natural light. They are suitably arranged for day-to-day living, but with sufficiently impressive proportions for entertaining with a degree of versatility for their use. The kitchen is an excellent family space with the ability to enjoy a large dining area from which there is the sitting room and a short corridor to the games room.

Upstairs, there are four main bedrooms on the first floor, three of which are en suite, and the fourth bedroom has its own separate bathroom. On the second floor there are three excellent bedrooms and a bathroom along with a good range of storage space.

There is an ornamental pond within the lower garden area and to the southern edge of the garden is the tennis court.
The gardens give way to a fenced pasture field to the south extending to about 5 acres, over which the house looks with stunning views beyond to the Woodchester Valley.
