Unwind & have fun at this beautiful tucked-away retreat, on a farm in Buckinghamshire.

The Fold is a welcoming annex - part of Barefoot Barn, our family home & self build project designed with Feng Shui.

The Fold has its own dedicated garden & patio overlooking the goat paddock & long uninterrupted views of the countryside. It’s designed with a comforting, stylish & peaceful quality, and everything you need for a relaxing & memorable break away with grounding easy walks directly into the farm.

The space
The entrance to The Fold is through its own garden gate, and a short meandering path to the glazed front door. The garden and patio are equipped with outdoor seating and dining spaces overlooking the fields.

The main door opens up to an open plan ground floor with a gorgeous kitchen, rustic dining table and dresser. The space has an eclectic enchanting quality. The kitchen is equipped with a Range Master oven, fridge freezer, washing machine, small dishwasher, kettle, toaster and Nespresso coffee machine. We always top up the coffee pods and tea caddy for guests!

The lounge area is a beautiful clay pink Loaf sofa, work from home fold down desk space, TV and games and puzzles. The lounge enjoys uninterrupted views to the fields and surrounding countryside, leading out onto the patio.

The stairs is open plan to the ground floor, and leads to a quaint landing with 2 bedrooms and a kids den.

Bedroom One has a kingsize bed, with views overlooking the fields and built in wardrobes, comfy chair and pretty Danish dresser. All the beds are made up with white linen natural look bedding and bed throws.

Bedroom two has 2 single beds which are designed in a way that they can be zipped together to form a superking bed if desired. This bedroom also had built in wardrobes, comfy chair and chest of drawers. This bedroom overlooks the goat shed and driveway.

From the landing you will find a large sliding door to a small bathroom with double sized shower, WC, rustic vanity and a heated towel rail.

The landing has a unique pull out ladder that leads to a ‘crawl in’ kids den in the ceiling area. This ladder is quite high, but has foot grips and handles. The den is a fun compact space, with a very low ceiling height. The space is about 1.3m high in the centre but lower at the edges. It’s designed as a fun, memorable play area with blackboard nooks, books and lego. The net that overlooks the landing allows children to look down but still be incredibly safe and the entrance to the den has a small sliding door which can be shut to feel extra safe. The den is equipped with a double futon, and could be slept in if desired. There are plug spaces in the den so devices can be used and charged.
