The Dutch Barn

The Dutch Barn at Mill Farm, close to the source of the river Thames, is an exciting Cotswold Revival scheme. Set in 5 acres of land, it combines a blend of rural architecture for modern living in an efficient eco-friendly family house.

A tranquil setting

This idyllic edge of village location at Ewen, overlooking its own 5 acre paddock, is within 2 miles of Kemble mainline station. Electrification of the Great Western line is set to reduce journey times to less than 75 minutes into London Paddington. The Crossrail is due to begin services in 2018 from Paddington to Liverpool Street (9 minutes) and the City every 3 minutes (www.crossrail.co.uk).
