Owners Rob and Jo have lived in Alstonefield village for years, and own the manor-house estate. They converted this barn from a near-derelict state, cleverly turning it into an upside-down structure to flood the living areas with light. You can still see the double doors at the rear of the barn, which were originally used for dray deliveries.
They love
“Being in the lounge and watching village life pass by below you.”
We love
The gorgeous double-height sitting room and the sociable bar area – perfect for serving G&Ts.
