The Grade II listed stone barn dates back to 1655 and once belonged to Anne Hyde, the Duchess of York, who married James II. Set within acres of rich countryside, the farm has been lovingly converted and furnished to a high quality with oak beams, stone walls and heaps of character – perfect for weddings.
