This quirky, stone-built barn conversion is set in the picturesque village of Ampney St. Mary, near Cirencester, in the heart of the stunning Cotswolds landscape. Generous open plan living in a detached apartment with double bed, lounge area, beautiful reclaimed kitchen/dinning area and ensuite bathroom. Underfloor heating throughout so suitable for all seasons. Ideal for holidaymakers looking for a tranquil base from which to explore the AONB or individuals seeking a quiet, secluded space to work/study.

Accommodation comprises of a double bedroom area with plenty of hanging space, drawers, shelves, hooks and racks, opening to a comfortable lounge area stocked with books, games and a smart TV. The space is furnished with a vibrant combination of up-cycled, bespoke pieces and has a stylish and unique 'vintage meets contemporary' feel.

The stunning reclaimed masterpiece that is our bespoke kitchen is very well equipped with a butler sink, two ring induction hob, wireless mobile extraction unit, mini oven, kettle, toaster, washing machine/dryer and large smeg fridge/feezer. The kitchen was transformed with love and care in August 2025, using locally sourced timber (recycled from pallets, old scaffold boards and reclaimed floorboards) proving what wonders can be created with materials that could otherwise have gone to waste. The striking 'live edge' oak worktop provides plenty of workspace for food and drink preparation. You'll also find storage for cutlery and dedicated areas for recycling and composting, which we encourage :)

There is a large separate wet room/bathroom with a spacious walk in, rainfall shower. The bathroom floor has also been recently renovated with beautiful new tiles, fully relaid in April 2025.

The detached stone annex is set within the grounds of The Granary, just a short walk away from the main residential house. The property is one of three
new homes converted (in 2018) from the barns and outbuildings of the original grade 2 listed Manor Farmyard, dating from the late 1700's.

Guests can enjoy the communal walled garden, complete with fire pit and sunny patios where there is comfortable seating for outside dining.
