Willow Barn, Taynton, is a Cotswold stone barn which is believed to date back to mid-19th century and was converted to residential use by a firm of architects in the 1980s.

The property was extended in the 1990s and substantial improvements have been carried out by the current vendors.

Internally Willow Barn is light and spacious with good size reception rooms and bedroom suites.

This is an ideal house for all year round entertaining as there are a number of glazed double doors leading from the main house to the garden terraces and fireplaces in predominant reception rooms.

There are a number of charming high quality materials within the property including pretty slate tiles throughout much of the ground floor, exposed Cotswold stone, exposed timbers and marble bathrooms.

The kitchen breakfast room offers generous proportions including an Aga, granite work surfaces and the adjacent garden room leading out to the garden.

There are two large bedroom suites, three further bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor, many of these rooms offering exceptional rural views across open countryside.
