Quirky five-bedroom barn with outbuilding and swimming pool goes up for sale

If you've ever wanted to escape busy city life and start afresh in the country, this stunning converted barn could be just what you're after.

Cherry Orchard Barn in Siston is the finished product of a conversion using a two-storey barn and range of stables once belonging to Cherry Orchard Farm, as a starting point. Converted in 1998, the current owners have lived here since 2002 and have, in that time, re-laid much of the ground floor with ceramic tiles and solid oak. The South Gloucestershire property boasts five bedrooms, four reception rooms, four bathrooms, outbuildings, a double garage and even its own swimming pool - and is currently on the market with a guide price of £1million.

As you enter the property, the reception hall provides a striking entrance way and boasts a full height vaulted ceiling, oak floor, double entrance doors and a gallery landing. The living room also shares that same style ceiling, with exposed timbers, a stain glass window and even a large stone fireplace kitted out with a log burner, to make lounging around that extra bit cosy.

There's even a study on the property that looks out over the back garden - so too does the master bedroom, equipped with its own en suite. The single-storey kitchen is fitted with solid wood units and an island, as well as integrated appliances such as a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge. Lavish double French doors mean, when you're entertaining guests or family members you can easily move from the kitchen to outside space - perfect for summer dinner parties and the like.

Think this is all sounding pretty standard, as far as properties on the market in the BS30 area go? Well, what about the decommissioned indoor pool which is accessed through a rear hall where tow bedrooms and a shower room can also be found. With planning permission, this could make a superb self-contained wing that any Airbnb lodger would be desperate to stay in.

Being located as part of a previous farm, Cherry Orchard Barn welcomes visitors and homeowners in through two timber farm gates and over a large gravel drive and parking area that allows for several parked vehicles. A double garage and a shaped shrubbery bed complete the front aesthetics while, at the rear of the barn, the West-facing back garden provides views out over the countryside - a perfect relaxing spot.

There's a large lawn, shrubbery bed and it's surrounded by tall trees and hedgerows. Plus, a paved patio-style area which would make the perfect spot for entertaining, accessed through a proper country study. Like something from a period drama set in the countryside, the house is close to a string of country walks and cycle paths and is situated near to Goose Green, Warmley, Siston Common and not too far from the A4174 dual carriageway, making it easily accessible, widely connected and a great place to return to after a day out walking or cycling.
