Description

A Grade II listed former cart barn of great character, with separate annexe/cinema room being within walking distance of the village pub and primary school.

Mill Barn was sympathetically converted in the 1980’s with the principal house offering accommodation over two floors. The house takes advantage of is surroundings by having the main living space on the first floor, with all four bedrooms being at ground level. Outside there is a detached double garage with the annexe/cinema room above.

In brief the accommodation comprises of: Entrance hall, master bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, utility room and cloakroom with WC. The stairs rise to the first floor where the main living space of the sitting room, with woodburning stove and exposed beams, extensively fitted kitchen/dining room and study will be found. The annexe/cinema room is above the double garage and has its own shower room and WC. To the front of the garage there is parking for two vehicles, along with a single parking space to the front of the house. The gardens are well maintained, being laid predominantly to lawn with small borders and boundary hedging, along with an extensive patio area with ample space for tables and chairs.

The property is warmed by oil fired central heating.

“We had lived in the village for 3 years and really wanted to stay but we needed more space. When Mill Barn came up for sale, we immediately knew that it was the perfect fit. We loved its peaceful location on a private road and the flexible and spacious accommodation it offered, ” recall the current owners.

“Dating back to the 1850s, Mill Barn is a fabulous mix of old and new. The original oak beams are a beautiful feature and the open plan kitchen / dining room is a great family space that we tend to use throughout the day before retiring to the large and impressive lounge to relax in front of the log burner.”

“We’ve made a number of enhancements to Mill Barn but perhaps the most significant change was the addition of the "Bat Cave". We rebuilt and extended the garage, providing versatile additional accommodation, whilst retaining a double garage with a 21ft room above which is currently used as a cinema room and guest suite, complete with a 1970's jukebox.”

“We love the village and surrounding area and have many happy memories of our children growing up here. The school run was always a pleasure thanks to the free bus service and being within walking distance of the Outstanding primary school. Village life in Great Rissington has lived up to everything we expected and more with numerous walks from our own front door, a great local pub, sports and social club and numerous village societies and events to keep us busy. We’ve enjoyed the wide variety of local independent shopping and great facilities catering for everyday needs in the local area, as well as easy access to larger cities and cultural experiences in Cheltenham, Oxford, Gloucester and London.”

“The garden is a peaceful, private haven where we can relax in the sun all day long. The large patio area is great for BBQs and entertaining, whilst the flexible rooms in The Barn (plus the "Bat Cave") makes it ideal for visitors. We have hosted many Christmas and New Year celebrations with family and friends and have happy memories of sledging in the snow on one Christmas Day.”

“We have enjoyed 13 wonderful years at Mill Barn, and we will miss the stunning Cotswolds countryside right on our doorstep, as well as our friends and the great experiences that we have enjoyed without having to travel far.”
