Spring has officially sprung and this month's featured property abounds with gorgeous grounds and gardens — superb for outdoor activities and alfresco relaxation.
Leap like a lamb through the gates of Harts Farm Barn in Gloucester and find six bedrooms, four bathrooms and two living areas spread out between the barn conversion and its additional annexe, making it perfect for a multi-generational home.
The lowdown
Settled within over an acre of greenery, Harts Farm Barn blooms in the historic village of Redmarley, on the Gloucestershire border, just a stone's throw from the market town of Ledbury.
The Grade II listed barn conversion extends to 3,190 sq ft of accommodation that includes a ground floor annex.
Surrounded by rolling countryside, lovers of the outdoors will be in heaven with the manicured gardens full of shrubbery, florals and trees — with the home renovated to complement the greenery and provide ample lookouts to enjoy the nature that encompasses it.
Exterior highlights
Approached via a long, gated stone driveway, expansive lawns impress from the off — along with mature boundaries and borders that wrap around the house, allowing for a high level of privacy.
To the rear of the property is a pretty patio area for alfresco dining — made even better by being west facing, granting access to enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine during the upcoming sunnier months.
Providing abundant space for children to play — as well as plenty of spots for hide and seek — spring and summer weekends can be joyfully spent on the sweeping lawn that the property overlooks.
Interior highlights
Inside, earthy tones and mellow colour pallets deliver a calm and welcoming living environment, with an impressive vaulted reception hall — complete with exposed wooden beams — and stairs embracing homeowners and guests and leading up to a galleried landing towards the second floor.
A beautifully appointed kitchen and dining area sits opposite the main sitting room, with granite worktops and a classic AGA range cooker, alongside plenty of storage within drawers and cupboards.
The room also enjoys a dual aspect viewing opportunity over the gardens through windows on either side.
The tonal walls and furnishings continue into the main living area, complete with wooden beams and a warming fireplace encased in brick.
A further vintage wood burner atop soft carpeting means cosy evenings in front of the telly are sorted!
With six bedrooms to choose from, the property is excellent for growing families, large families or households who love to host.
The master suite located upstairs benefits from the luxury of its own dressing room and en-suite bathroom, while a guest suite and another single bedroom makes up the rest of the second floor of the home.
Attached to the side of the barn is a further self-contained room that is currently used as storage but has also been used as an office in the past, meaning more options for space.

A barbecuing area, complete with a spacious island, provides a fitting accessory to this outdoor domain, with the promise of summer get togethers over good food, shared with the company of loved ones.
