The Experience
A cleverly designed conversion of two listed barns by friendly owners Fiona and Peter – they live on one side (but you have lots of privacy) and leave you a welcome hamper of local bread, cake, juices, jams and Nespresso capsules.
It’s a wonderful space for gatherings with elegant bedrooms and modern bathrooms; prepare dinner on the range cooker, keep toes toasty around the wood-burner and with underfloor heating, stay in for a movie night (there’s a big TV with everything you’ll need).
Outside you’ll find a garden with barbecue (sizzle sausages from one of two excellent farm shops nearby) and an undercover area with sofas for al fresco drinks surrounded by a lovely weeping willow and a pond full of wildlife – you’ll only hear owls and maybe the odd tractor. You can walk to the Jolly Sailor pub over fields in just over an hour.

We had a lovely week at Church Lane Barns, which is a great place to relax and recharge. The barn conversion has been beautifully done to create a light and open living space with comfortable bedrooms and a really well-equipped kitchen. The location is wonderful - peaceful, surrounded by fields, with a pretty private garden, complete with small pond and "sitoutery". Due to distancing guidelines we didn't meet Peter and Fiona in person until our last day but they had gone out of their way to make us feel welcome in spite of the restrictions. All in all a fantastic break.

Church Lane Barns is as wonderful as it looks! Peaceful, spacious, beautiful inside and out. Thank you Peter and Fiona, you have created something very special.

A beautiful, elegant and tranquil barn conversion in a totally rural location and yet only half an hour from the M27, or an hour and a half by train from London, this would be a perfect place for 2 or 3 couples to unwind and explore the stunning countryside and the nearby city of Winchester, the naval history of Portsmouth and Chichester (and the brilliant theatre at Chichester)

Location
The neighbourhood
You’re in a fairly quiet spot but there’s a farm and a few other barns close by; walk 10 minutes to Botley – a pretty village on the upper banks of the river Hamble with much history. Reach Winchester or Chichester in 40 minutes for culture, cathedrals, theatres and the sea; the South Downs National Park is close for long walks. You can take the train straight from Botley into London in less than two hours.
Local points of interest from Peter & Fiona Hudd
- Explore neighbouring Manor Farm, walking along the banks of the River Hamble through the delightful country park to Bursledon or take the river taxi downstream as far as Hamble. Hire a paddle board in Bursledon if you want to see the river close up!
- The beautiful Meon valley is on your doorstep with attractive villages and stunning scenery to enjoy. After a bracing walk on Old Winchester Hill, a highlight of the South Downs Way, enjoy a well earned rest at a country pub.
- Take the scenic route to Winchester via the pretty village of Cheriton and visit the Georgian market town of Alresford with its interesting shops, cafes and pubs. A walk along the banks of the clear chalk stream River Itchen is not to be missed!
- You are within striking distance of the historic cathedral city of Chichester with its renowned theatre and art galleries. Nearby Bosham and the Fishbourne Roman Palace are well worth a visit.
- The beautiful gardens of West Dean, near Chichester, make for an inspirational day out. The nearby Weald and Downland Museum is a must for historic building enthusiasts. Goodwood is not far if you wish to visit the historic motor circuit or race course.
- Unwind in our 'sitooterie' and watch the moorhen chicks on the pond or spot the heron on a fishing trip! On a clear night you may catch a glimpse of the barn owl flying low across the fields. Listen out for the little owls in the oak tree behind.

Introducing
Peter & Fiona Hudd
Fiona is a conservation architect and Peter has recently left work in the City. They fell in love with the barns and spent eight years restoring them with Fiona’s plans and Peter's passion for gardening. Their vision has always been to create a welcoming and peaceful place to relax and unwind from the pressures of modern life.
This barn conversion is beautiful and we had a very comfortable stay. We enjoyed the space and really appreciated the lovely furnishings and decor around the house. Great location too.
