Ford Farm Barns is perfectly suited to large gatherings of friends, families or colleagues - take a dip in the heated pool (Please note the swimming pool is heated by an air source heat pump. This means that in May and September the pool may be slightly cooler than usual if we experience particularly cold weather.), play some tennis, set up an outdoor game of croquet or simply enjoy some long al fresco lunches on the sheltered terrace. The large and established gardens provide the opportunity for some peace and quiet or bring your wellies and explore the local countryside with walks straight from your door.
The garden room in the Farmhouse seats 24 around its large table, allowing your whole party to gather in one place. This light-filled room acts as the perfect focal point for your stay, with triple doors leading directly to the swimming pool to one side and the sheltered courtyard on the other. You can even hook your laptop up to a 2 metre projector screen, allowing you to entertain your friends, host meetings, or simply keep an eye on important sporting events whilst you splash around in the pool outside.
Just down the corridor you’ll find the Farmhouse kitchen which is generously equipped to ensure the comfort of our larger groups; the large Aga is supplemented with an electric hob/oven and there are two fridges, two dishwashers, a walk-in larder, a butler’s pantry and a commercial ice machine.
Venturing further into the extensive Farmhouse you will be able to challenge your friends to a game of pool in the games room. Or settle down in front of an open fire in the lounge, where the 48" smart TV is accompanied by a DVD player, sound bar and access to Netflix.
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle for a while, then retreat to the Coach House. This beautiful barn conversion has open plan living, sofas set around a wood burner and large sliding doors leading straight onto a private courtyard garden.
Sleeping
The two properties sleep 21 adults (or 23 if you use the toddler floor beds) across ten bedrooms, giving the space you need for a comfortable get-away. Three of the rooms are en-suite and there are four large family bathrooms.
In the Farmhouse (sleeps 13) you will find 5 bedrooms on the first floor and one on the ground floor. The bedrooms are named after trees found in and around Ford Farm Barns:
- Beech bedroom and Birch bedroom – sit at the front of the house and share a large family bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower. These bedrooms each have a superking bed (or 2 singles if preferred) and have plenty of space if you want to make use of the optional toddler floor beds ). Both bedrooms also benefit from their own wash basin.
- Ash bedroom – en-suite with bath (shower over). The superking bed can be split to become 2 singles if preferred.
- Willow bedroom and Walnut bedroom – sit at the rear of the house, overlooking the swimming pool. They share a family bathroom with bath and separate shower.Walnut has a superking bed (or 2 singles if preferred) whilst Willow houses our bunk bed for three (a double on the bottom with a single above).
- Oak Bedroom - is on the ground floor adjacent to the garden room. This has a beautiful en suite bathroom with a roll top bath and a separate shower. The bed can be either a superking or a twin.
The four bedrooms in the Coach House (sleeps 8) are on the ground floor and enjoy the wooden beams and vaulted ceilings of the original barn. Each has a superking bed (or 2 singles if preferred). The bedrooms are named after the arable crops found in the surrounding countryside:
- Wheat bedroom – the largest bedroom with its own door straight into the garden and an en-suite bathroom with bath (shower over).
- Oats bedroom – en-suite with shower.
- Barley bedroom and Maize bedroom – share a large family bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower.
Both properties also have further WCs and their own utility rooms with washing machine and separate dryer for your use.
The Farmhouse and Coach House are two of four properties at Ford Farm Barns, a family run business. In addition, there are two residential properties, one belonging to the Owners.
