The award-wining house was developed to a very high standard approximately 16 years ago and has undergone further updating in the intervening years.
Great Barn is located in a charming position close to the village of Mathern and is approached via an imposing driveway, also shared with Eastwood House, culminating in its own private driveway with electric gates.
The house is entered through a covered porch into the impressive dining hall. Attractive Travertine flooring is featured throughout the ground floor, along with underfloor heating throughout.
