Middle Barn is a charming holiday rental located in Chippenham, Wiltshire, in the South of England. The property sleeps up to 6 guests in 3 bedrooms and is situated near the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The barn is part of Sands Farm, surrounded by a stunning rural landscape with views of Bristol, the River Severn, and the Mendips. Guests are invited to explore the farm's 500 acres of land, swim in the freshwater pond, walk the owners' dogs, and engage in on-site art experiences.
The interior of Middle Barn retains the original feel of three connected barns, with exposed stone walls and unique features like a tiny gargoyle in the master bedroom. The ground floor includes a spacious open-plan dining area and kitchen, a cozy living room with a woodburning stove, and a twin bedroom with a cloakroom. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms with king-size beds and en-suite shower rooms. The decor combines traditional elements with modern touches, creating a stylish and comfortable rural retreat.
Outside, guests can enjoy a patio area with outdoor seating, a BBQ, and a children's play area in the enclosed garden. The property also offers access to the farm's animals, woodland, and pond for activities like wild swimming and fishing for crayfish. A short walk from Middle Barn leads to the entrance of Dyrham Park, a National Trust property known for its late 17th-century mansion, garden, and deer park. The location provides a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural attractions, making it an ideal destination for a relaxing and immersive holiday experience.
