It's impossible not to fall in love with this stunning barn, situated on privately owned farmland on the edge of Alcester. The main living space, with its impressive vaulted ceiling, is stylishly decorated in a neutral palette with the occasional pop of hot pink. The open-plan layout lends itself to socialising, so everyone can gather and catch up over some fizz and nibbles. Or, if the weather is nice, head outside onto the terrace to grill up a feast on the barbecue and dine alfresco as you watch the sunset together. The hot tub is perfect for a soak after dark, and you might even spot some distant stars and planets on a clear night. Don't forget your walking boots – there are 550 acres of farmland to explore and neighbouring Oversley Wood has plenty of beautiful trails through the trees. Culture fans will also be delighted to discover that the charming town of Stratford-Upon-Avon, famous for being the birthplace of Shakespeare, is just eight miles away. And, at the end of your day out, you can stop in at the local pub for a refreshing pint – it's just half a mile away from your front door.
