About the home

The Old Barn is a superb single storey barn conversion which has just been completely renovated to an exceptional standard. Farm & country living meets comfort and style of urban living! It is located on the 140 acre Holt Farm Estate in Witham Friary which is in the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire downs Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty and is just two hours from London.

The most incredible feature of this property is the beamed vaulted roof structure which, with such a large area, is a truly remarkable construction. This stunning large living space has been stylishly furnished and the open plan layout of the kitchen, dining room and lounge works exceptionally well and people just love being in this room. As well as four stylish bedrooms (two with en-suite), bathroom, utility and cloakroom, The Old Barn also has a large enclosed garden, ample parking and of course access to most of the farm estate.

If you require more sleeping accommodation then we also have The Calf House (sleeps 6 & next door) and Holt Farmhouse (sleeps 9-10) which can be rented all together.

The Holt Farm Estate is made up of 140 acres of fields of lovely Somerset countryside and it also includes a lake and its own woodlands. This is a working farm but you are welcome to walk along the estate where marked. Children must be accompanied and dogs must be on a leash.

The Old Barn is ideal for luxury self catering, special occasions, weekend breaks, short breaks and ideal for exploring Somerset and Wiltshire. Just some of the nearby attractions include; Longleat ( 7 miles away), Stourhead Gardens (3.5 miles away, Bath (22 miles away and Glastonbury (21 miles away) Within sensible driving and taxi distances there are some superb restaurants and pubs including; Archangel in Frome, At The Chapel in Bruton and the Spread Eagle in Stourhead.
