Home description
Snipe Barn is situated on an old farm in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds and is set in private grounds of 15 acres overlooking a nature reserve. The barn is a delightful contemporary barn conversion that is simply ideal for groups of up to 11 persons.
The old Cotswold stone wall enclosure and oak gates to the front of the property makes it a haven of tranquillity. The covered barbecue and landscaped courtyard garden make it a wonderful entertaining space. The glass front to the property matches the light open plan interior and makes the most of the sun that streams into the living space. The feature fireplace with wood-burner, plasma TV, state of the art kitchen and very spacious bedroom accommodation all go towards making Snipe Barn irresistible.
It is a magical place for a family get together, relax and re-charge the batteries or have a party or reunion with friends. Nearby there is the famous Trout Pub at Tadploe Bridge which sits on the Thames Pathway - well worth a visit! Great walks and cycling are all around.
