Swindon residents looking for a conversion project may well be in luck with a rare unconverted barn up for sale in the Cotswolds.

Parsonage Barn in Quenington, Glos, is on sale for a whopping £475,000 with estate agent Butler Sherborn to those interested in taking the property on.

There are fewer and fewer unconverted barns now remaining in the Cotswolds, so Parsonage Barn represents an increasingly rare opportunity to create your own home in an idyllic rural setting.

Parsonage Barn is an attractive period Cotswold stone barn situated a few miles east of Cirencester and about a mile from the village of Quenington. Dating from the late 18th century, it is set away from the road by a long, private driveway in a delightfully rural location surrounded by farmland.

Planning permission has already been granted for a sympathetic conversion of the barn to create an attractive home that retains many of the building’s original features.

It has been designed with extensive glazing to maximise the natural light, including a fully glazed threshing porch overlooking the garden and glass between the retained Tuscan columns on the southern elevation.

This is a superb opportunity to create a great home by converting this raw agricultural barn into a two/three bedroom home.

The proposed accommodation comprises an entrance hall, vaulted kitchen/dining/living space with unusual scissor truss beams, two ground floor double bedrooms, a shower room, cloakroom and first floor galleried bedroom/home office.

All of this is within approximately 1,500 square feet of living space.

Sitting in a plot of just over an acre, the plan also allows for a detached carport such as a garage or store, as well as a driveway, parking area and garden.

Quenington is a village with a strong local community and is located on the edge of the Coln Valley.

The village has a well-known pub called The Keepers Arms, as well as a village hall and parish church, while nearby Fairford and Lechlade provide for everyday needs.

There are mainline railway stations at Kemble and Swindon with trains to London Paddington in around an hour, while the M4 and M5 motorways are within an easy drive, making the area good for transport links.
