The current owners have also added a cinema room, where the open-plan layout and high ceilings lends itself perfectly to a screen and projector and features an open fireplace, ideal for movie nights with the family.

Upper Silkstead Barn is situated in the sought- after village location on the edge of Hursley and Compton. Situated at the end of a no-through road surrounded by sprawling countryside, the location is simply idyllic. The location offers stunning country walks and views, whilst being circa three miles from Winchester, and circa one mile from Shawford railway station which provides regular services to London and Southampton.

The famous cathedral and beautiful water meadows are within the city and there is a network of footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding in the surrounding countryside. There are excellent connections to the M3, M27, A34, the south coast and the New Forest from Meadow Barn which are predominantly accessed from Junction 11 of the M3 in just a couple of miles. Southampton international airport is approximately ten miles away with now more destinations across Europe than ever before.
