4 The Property Saltway Barn: Saltway Barn is a substantial, traditional former farm building. It is constructed of Cotswold stone elevations with dressed stone quoins under a slate roof with projecting porches and single storey ranges either side. The building was converted to residential use during the 1980 s by the Seller s Family. Although the building has been maintained in excellent condition, it has never been fully lived in since its conversion. The accommodation is flexible and provides an excellent opportunity for a buyer to alter this to suit his own needs and to upgrade the property to modern standards. The accommodation: A tarmacadam drive leads through gate piers to a parking area to the side of the house. The front door opens into an impressive galleried entrance hall. To the south of this room there are large glazed external doors which open to a raised terrace overlooking the gardens and the countryside beyond. A fascinating feature of this room is the chiselled lettering in the stone quoins, some of which would appear to be ancient. Steps lead down to the dining room, also with a southerly aspect, beyond which are the kitchen and the utility room with adjoining shower room and cloakroom. An inner hallway with garden door gives access to the west wing, with a sitting room, beyond which a door gives access to the double garage, which could be converted to residential use benefitting from the southerly aspect. Above the garage is a loft bedroom. The west wing could be self-contained for family members, guests or staff accommodation. To the east of the house is a further wing containing a drawing room with large open fireplace. A door gives access to a garden room with double opening garden doors, beyond which is an ensuite bedroom. On the first floor there is a galleried landing above the entrance hallway, a triple aspect master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside: To the front of the house there is a raised terrace which runs the full length of the house and overlooks the gardens and the farmland beyond. The house is well screened from the road by a plantation of trees to the rear and a stand of trees to the east of the gardens. In the latter is the remains of a former farm worker s cottage. The grounds are bounded by a mix of Cotswold stone walls and post and rail fencing. On the western side of the house there is a pasture paddock on raised ground in an attractive setting.
