Yew Tree Barn

Yew Tree Barn is a delightful secluded haven hidden in the heart of the beautiful Cotswold village of Painswick. Converted twelve years ago from an ancient barn it provides lovely comfortable accommodation with a walled garden and an original well in the sitting room.

The spacious farmhouse style kitchen-breakfast room is a great place for family and friends to relax around the preparation of dinner, or chill out over a long late breakfast. There are windows on three sides, including charming stained glass windows over looking the garden. One end of the room is full height revealing the original exposed roof timbers. Facilities include a cooker, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The main area of the room centres on a traditional pine kitchen table (seats 6) and is well stocked with cutlery, crockery and utensils.

In addition to the old well, which has been illuminated, the sitting room offers comfortable sofas, TV and DVD player at one end and a small table and chairs at the other. A glazed door opens from the sitting room into the garden.

The bedrooms have been set into the roof of the old barn, with some of the original beams remaining. The spaces are charming, but the headroom is limited. The tall should be prepared to stoop a little! The smaller bedroom, with its unusual pointed door, contains a double bed. The larger bedroom has a double bed plus a single bed and a good quality single pull out guest bed, if required.

The bathroom has a powerful over-bath shower, washbasin with original brass taps, wc and an exposed Cotswold stone wall.

The cottage is approached by a gate and pretty entrance path through an arch to its own garden. A small lawn is surrounded by raised flower beds. Stone steps lead up to a raised patio from which you can just about glimpse the spire of the famous Painswick parish church of St.Mary's. The garden is enclosed by thick Cotswold stone walls.
