Located in a popular Cotswold village of Aldsworth is this delightful period stone barn which was converted some 30 years ago to form an extensive house of considerable character. The current owners have undertaken an extensive program of improvements within the last 5 years.
With 6 bedrooms, an open plan kitchen with Aga and a galleried reception hall, the house suits a family who enjoy entertaining.
Simon and Kaz Drury have enjoyed ‘hosting village fete planning meetings over a glass of rosé' on the terrace. ‘We've held summer barbecues, Christmas drinks around our 4m tree and parties for my wife's university alumni over from Japan teaching them egg-and-spoon and 3-legged races,' explains Mr Drury.
