Detached house to rent in Babdown, Tetbury, Gloucestershire GL8

Refurbished three bedroom barn conversion

Description
Babdown Farm Barns were originally built in 1847 for the Holford family who owned the Westonbirt estate. The architect is believed to have been Lewis Vulliamy who designed the enormous Westonbirt House and Babdown Farm is one of several model farms which were erected on the estate. The various barns are grouped round an attractive large, grassed courtyard and have been converted.

The Byre is nestled in the corner and is of 7 barns and 1 farmhouse which have been refurbished to a very high standard and is an idyllic country setting, just outside of Tetbury and a stone’s throw away from the newly revamped Calcot Hotel & Spa.

This L shaped lateral conversion is just over 1280 sq. Ft and boasts two well matured gardens either side of the barn. As you enter the barn via the inner garden facing the private courtyard you are struck by the triple height ceiling in the kitchen and sitting room and the wonderful honey kissed Cotswold stonework which creates a sense of tradition along with the exposed beam work. The large eat in kitchen has been carefully planned with plenty of storage, a large induction hob cooker, and integrated dishwasher. This space can easily accommodate a large family table for those daily routines and the log burner in the sitting room creates a cosy space for those winter evenings. Just off the kitchen is a utility room which has additional storage for boots and outdoor wear and has direct access to the secondary garden.

As you move along the corridor there are two well proportioned double bedrooms overlooking the inner garden boasting high ceilings, wooden floors and the continuation of the Cotswolds stonework. These two bedrooms are serviced by the main family bathroom. At the end of the corridor is the large principal bedroom with en suite shower and this room is a great space and perfectly situated from the main communal family living area.

With regards to external storage and parking the barn includes a fantastic garage which is ideal for storage or parking a small family sized car. There is also parking at the front of the barn.

Overall The Byre is a very light and spacious space to occupy and the lateral design allows for the barn to flow very well and couple that with the high ceilings throughout you do truly feel you are living in a very comfortable attractive home.

Location
Tetbury is a popular and lively traditional Cotswold market town, well known for its 17th and 18th Century architecture.

Historically, the town was known for its antique shops but today boutique and specialist shops, together with cafes, restaurants and bistros have come to the fore. As a result there is a bustling feel to the town with well-known shops now including the Highgrove shop, Quails Delicatessen, Molo and the award winning Hobbs bakery. For more general shopping there is a Tesco superstore on the edge of the town and, twice a week, there is an open market under The Market House.

The town, once voted the third best town in which to live by Country Life Magazine, also supports a splendid parish church which has been described as having one of the best Georgian gothic designs; it has the fourth highest church spire in England.

Nearby is the world famous Westonbirt Arboretum which covers 600 acres and boasts one of the most varied specimen collections in Europe as well as some 17 miles of trails. Other recreational opportunities include golf at Westonbirt and Minchinhampton, sailing at the Cotswold Water Park, polo at the Beaufort Polo Club, motor racing at the Castle Combe circuit and there is also the Cotswold Leisure Centre in Cirencester.

Tetbury is well placed for the commuter with Kemble station and the M4 both being within ten miles. Nearby, larger commercial centres include Bath, Bristol and Cheltenham, all of which provide excellent shops and theatres.
