About this property

Spacious barn conversion in a tranquil Oxfordshire village

** Launched Easter 2018**

Barton House Barn is a beautifully converted granary barn belonging to Barton House Farm (Grade II listed ). Positioned in the heart of the picturesque village of Shutford, the Barn overlooks the pretty norman church of St Martin on a no-through road which leads on to beautiful open countryside. It is also a stone’s throw from the local village pub The George and Dragon which offers good local ale and home cooked food.
The Barn is well situated for those who wish to explore the heart of the Cotswolds with Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water and Moreton in Marsh less than a 30 minute drive. It is also within easy reach of the popular market towns of Banbury, Shipston and Chipping Norton as well as the busier tourist destinations of Warwick, Stratford Upon Avon, Oxford and Bicester Village. Having lived in the Cotswolds for 20 years we can offer our guests plenty of advice and information on where to go to make the most out of their stay.

The Barn
The Barn retains many original features including exposed stonework and beams complemented by slate tile flooring running throughout the ground floor. The large entrance hall leads through to the spacious living room and to the kitchen dining room.

Downstairs
Entrance hall with storage and cloakroom area, wc and kitchen dining room. The modern kitchen dining room offers all cooking needs, double oven, microwave, large dishwasher, fridge freezer, toaster, kettle, ceramic hob and coffee machine. The large double aspect living room features large French doors opening straight onto a south facing patio area. Although fully centrally heated for that extra cosy winter warmth there also wood burning stove in the lounge.

Upstairs
Large vaulted ceiling master bedroom with ensuite WC and shower room. The room also features access to small balcony area. The second and third bedrooms are of equal size with double and twin beds respectively. All rooms have wardrobes and drawers for plenty of storage. The family bathroom serves the second and third bedroom. And we have a small laundry room with washing machine for guests who like to travel light. Finally, all beds are new with super comfortable Hypnos quality mattresses to ensure the best night’s sleep.

We have unlimited high speed wifi availble thoughout the house.

Outside
The south facing patio includes outdoor table and chairs, gas BBQ covered by a pergola with climbing roses for some shade.

Lovely cottage in great location

We had a lovely stay in this cottage. The hosts were really helpful and the welcome basket was really appreciated. It is nicely decorated throughout and perfect for 6 people. The locstion is also excellent for visiting many local attractions. Would highly recommend.

A lovely cottage in a quiet, rural area. Spotlessly clean and nicely furnished/decorated. Good communication with the hosts and photos are true to likeness. We were 6 adults and all enjoyed our stay. Our only slight criticism would be that for 6 adults, there is really only one shower - the shower in the main bathroom is attached to the bath taps with no wall fixing so you have to crouch in the bath to use it. However, that was a minor issue and we all agreed we would stay again.

Just returned from this excellent property. Communication with the owner was virtually by return. On arrival the property was immaculately clean and the beds and sofas extremely comfortable. The owner knocked the door on the first evening to check all was ok and we mentioned we could do with serving spoons and he returned with some moments later! What service! Absolutely could not fault any aspect of our weekend away. You will not be disappointed. We would definitely book again. Just a note the pub (only 100 yds away) no longer serves food but is very welcoming.

An amazing home away from home

A 5* home hotel, fabulously comfy beds, super cleaning done for Covid 19. Never had such a pleasant stay in an holiday home loads of touches such as a jar of doggy biscuits and muddy paw towels for our furry friend. Fully stocked kitchen, more utensils than I think I have in my kitchen 😊 would have no hesitation in recommending it you anyone for a relaxing country break. Will definitely be booking again to stay in the summer and sit in the patio and have a bbq. The pub across the road serves great food with friendly staff and a separate area to eat with the dog. Also recommended is Monkeybean coffee shop in Sugarswell Business Park they do great coffee sandwiches and cakes.

Beautiful house in a beautiful village.

This is a perfect place to visit the Cotswolds. Is close to many interesting sites (such as Chipping Camden, Broadway, the Warwick Castle, Stratford upon Avon, among others), it´s located in a lovely old village, and the house itself is perfectly decorated, clean, and it has good spaces for children.

Fantastic Easter Break

Stayed here with my family over Easter. There were six of us and I was not sure after seeing the pictures online whether the property was going to be big enough, but what a fantastic surprise when we went in this place is much bigger than it looks. The kitchen is well equipped and with three good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and a downstairs cloakroom, everything you could want. The barn was very clean and well decorated. It is located in a lovely small village and there are some really nice scenic walks and the pub is literally just down the road. The weather was beautiful and we spent a lot of time on the patio off the lounge which was lovely, only downside is the heating vent which comes out of the wall next to the patio bench but this was only on a couple of times during our stay so not too bad. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this property.

Beautiful and spacious barn house!

We stayed 5 nights in this beautiful barn house, and visited 10 towns in Cotswolds. It seems very close to everywhere we planned to visit. The owner live next to the property and they are very nice, help us a lot when we have problem with our car. We feel very lucky to stay there and to have them around.
