Scoop up your nearest and dearest and pile into this showstopper of a barn conversion, set in the thriving village of South Cerney and just a ten-minute drive from Cotswold's Roman capital, Cirencester. While this home might be set on a multi-generational family farm, there's no mucking in to do here – just pure modern luxury awaits. On summer days, open the French doors wide and spill out onto the elegant terraces for alfresco drinks, a spot of petanque, or a soak in the hot tub. Kids and furry friends can run off some energy on the neighbouring football field or all enjoy a stroll over to the meadow with a small lake that you'll share with the resident sheep – it's as charming as it sounds. In the winter months, take things inside beneath the magnificent timber beams of this former barn, where every corner feels like an interior magazine come to life. Hunker down beside the wood-burner in the vast living spaces oozing with period charm. Crash out with movie nights or a game console session in the snug area. Or challenge your guests to a game of pool. When tummies start to rumble, get together around the impressive dining table. The double ovens in the immaculate kitchen make cooking a breeze, but if you'd like a night off cooking duties, mosey down into the village. With three traditional pubs less than a ten-minute walk away, you'll be living your best village life here.
