Grange Oldbury - dort 11 personnes dans 4 chambres

Perched just outside the pretty village of Elkstone, high in the hills above the Cotswolds, Oldbury Barn is a handsome Cotswold stone retreat wrapped in rolling valley views. With footpaths leading straight from the garden into open countryside, this is a stay that truly immerses you in nature.

Inside, a spacious open-plan living area forms the heart of the home, where soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and a wood-burning stove create warmth and charm in equal measure. French doors and wide windows invite the outside in, opening onto the garden. A sociable kitchen, generous dining space, and inviting seating area make it ideal for gathering with loved ones. With two en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor, it's a perfect choice for multi-generational getaways. Full of character and colour, it's a place where you can truly settle in and feel at home.

The garden is a joy for families. There's a lawn for games, and a terrace where grown-ups can unwind with a glass of wine and a view. Fire up the BBQ and linger over long lunches while the countryside stretches out before you. At the front, a gravelled driveway offers ample space for up to six cars making it ideal for group stays or family reunions.
Ground Floor


Entrance Hall/Cloakroom:
When you first step into Oldbury Barn you can take off your coats and shoes to be stored in the entrance hall. There is a handy cloakroom here as well with a WC and sink.

Kitchen/Dining/Living Room:
The heart of this beautiful home is its breathtaking open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, stretching the full length of the barn. Showcasing striking, elevated beams, an elegant arched window with a built-in seat, and a glowing woodburner, this is where you'll naturally gather and linger the longest.

The kitchen is perfectly designed for sociable cooking and relaxed entertaining. A large island provides ample prep space and a breakfast bar for morning coffees or evening chats. You'll find a Rangemaster oven and hob and all the glassware, crockery, and bakeware you could need for a fully self-catered stay. French doors open directly onto the patio, ideal for seamless al fresco dining and summer evenings under the stars.

At the centre of the space sits a sleek oak dining table that extends to comfortably seat everyone. Positioned beside the elegant arched window, it offers lovely views of the garden while you dine. Nearby, a long sideboard holds a Sonos speaker and a selection of family games, adding to the warm, welcoming vibe.

At the far end, the living space invites you to unwind. Two generous three-seater sofas and a cosy armchair are perfectly placed around the impressive inglenook fireplace, where a large woodburner sets the scene for fireside evenings, board games, or simply curling up with a good book.
