Mill Barn is a traditional period Cotswold stone barn, standing four square on the edge of the village. A charming feature is the red village post box set into its wall. Planning permission was granted on 26.1.23, Ref: 22/02193/FUL for its conversion to a well-balanced house. The approved plans show the front door on the east side of the house, opening into an entrance hall with a study and cloakroom leading off. The sitting room is at the northern end of the house, whilst the kitchen/dining room has a huge window overlooking the gardens to the countryside beyond. Leading off the kitchen is a utility and boot room. On the first floor the principal bedroom has a dressing area and en suite bathroom. There are two further ensuite bedrooms. The propsed house has a floor area of 1,776 square feet (165 sq.m.)

Parking will be at the southern end of the barn. Beyond the parking area is a further area of parking for the Church. The garden lies on the west side of the barn. It has plendid views over the valley below.
