Found in the rural outskirts of Tarporley in the beautiful North West county of Cheshire, is this tranquil mid-terrace cottage, Oulton Barn House. Perfectly suited to a family holiday in these serene, peaceful settings, this property is in view of the owner’s home and set on the grounds of their farm, creating a classic countryside feel and a great place to get away from it all.

Gather at the country-style wooden dining table and tuck into a feast amidst the company of your nearest and dearest as you talk about the events of the holiday so far. Double doors lead you through to the sitting room where you can retire to one of the plush sofas, or the inviting leather armchair, choose a film on the Smart TV and settle in for a quiet evening in this light and tranquil space. Completing the ground floor is the convenient utility room where you can make use of the washing machine and tumble dryer, so helpful for those longer stays.
