Crosslanes Farm Barn is an exceptional oak-framed barn designed by the Winchester architect Huw Thomas located in the Hampshire hamlet of Ashton.
The property provides spacious open-plan accommodation in the main barn, featuring a superb drawing room, which is flanked on one side by a raised dining room on one side and a less formal sitting room on the opposite side. The main area of the barn has vaulted ceilings and a grand central brick double fireplace. Glazed doors lead out to the rear garden and courtyard. The kitchen has been beautifully finished with a range of bespoke units.
The barn has three bedrooms, including the master bedroom suite. A link from the main barn leads through to Rose Cottage which currently provides separate accommodation in the form of a reception/dining hall kitchen, sitting room, master bedroom with adjoining bathroom, two further bedrooms and a shower room.

The property also comes with a one-bedroom cottage which could be guest accommodation or staff accommodation, and a clock house which could be used for any number of purposes.
Outside are five stables and a secure tack room. There are extensive paddocks which total around 5.8 acres and a sand school. The formal gardens lie to the north side of the house and have been well stocked with a number of mature shrubs and trees.
Crosslanes is situated in the hamlet of Ashton in the pretty Meon Valley in the South Downs National Park.
