The Wheel House is a single-level cottage that sleeps up to 8 people plus a cot. It has three bedrooms—two en suite double rooms and a twin room. An additional two guests can use a sofa bed in a curtained-off area of the lounge. The large patio and lawned area has direct access to the tennis court, as well as its own barbecue and garden furniture. A unique feature in the lounge is "the turbine," a historical piece of machinery last used 70 years ago to power farm equipment. The dining area, which can seat 8, can be upgraded with a banqueting table for larger groups when rented with The Leat House, allowing seating for 14.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area has a log burner for those seeking a cosy atmosphere during autumn and winter stays. The historic character of the property is evident in the original beams and vaulted ceilings, complemented by modern amenities such as a 32” TV, DVD player, and a selection of books and games.

The Apple Loft, once used to mill and press apples for cider, has been transformed into a modern holiday home with charming rustic features, such as exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and flint walling. Built as an upside-down house to take full advantage of the panoramic views, it sleeps up to 4 guests plus a cot. The king-size bedroom and open-plan living area provide a comfortable setting, with a log burner for chilly evenings. The well-equipped kitchen includes all modern conveniences, from a dishwasher to a wine rack, ensuring a stress-free stay.

In addition to the cottages, guests can enjoy a range of on-site facilities. The games barn offers table tennis, snooker, darts, and even a skittle alley, making it an excellent option for rainy days or family fun.

Farwood Barton is an ideal destination for walkers, families, and groups seeking a quiet countryside break.
