  • An off-grid holiday experience set within the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside
  • Set within acres of farmland over which you are free to roam

Property code: 77493

This sympathetically converted barn sits within acres of farmland without another dwelling in site, off-grid and perfect for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Experience off-grid living at its finest at this beautifully converted barn, on a working farm in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms and welcoming two waggy-tailed friends, this pretty property in the hamlet of Kencot sits within acres of farmland that you are free to explore. You are sure to love the secluded location and your pups are certain to enjoy running free in the garden with post and rail fencing.

 

Taking its energy from a generator and wind turbine, staying at this off-grid barn is a truly unique experience. Step inside and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and the eclectic style of the decor. Cook up a storm in the beautifully-finished kitchen with its bespoke cabinets and granite worktops, and then serve up your feast in the dining area, which is set in the heart of the barn conversion with farmland views. Alternatively, step outside onto the patio and dine alfresco while your dogs enjoy the freedom of the enclosed garden. After dinner, stretch out in front of the wood burner in the lounge area, or retire with a good book to the cosy snug. When the day is done, climb the wooden stairs up to the first floor where you will find two gorgeous bedrooms to choose from.

 

Well behaved pups are welcome at the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens (3.5 miles), although they aren’t allowed indoors or into the Bat Belfry, Reptile House, Children’s Farmyard or any areas with free-ranging animals. Your four-legged friends are also welcome at Stanway House and Fountain (25 miles), where you can see the tallest gravity fountain in the world and explore the wonderful water garden, which dates back to the 1720s.

The beds were comfortable, lovely location, great for walking and dogs. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice to have some milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge on arrival. The separate shower/toilet upstairs had a slight drainage smell but by turning on the extract fan for the bathroom it then disappeared.

A well appointed cottage in a great location. Peaceful even with Brize Norton nearby. Just a comment for electric car owners...the 7Kwh charger at the cottage tripped out easily. We found it better to use the 3Kwh charger we brought with us which gave us enough range following an overnight charge.

Good stay at Jimmy's barn. It was empty for 3 days before us so it was cold for a couple of days but the wood burner is great and we used it every day. We had to switch the generator to manual for several hours each day then back to auto to keep batteries charged. The EV charger point would not work for us but fortunately we had bought our 3 pin chRead morearge cable so had to trickle charge every day using a socket in the garage. Lovely part of the world with walks from the door. Hide
