Christopher Howe's Cotswolds Barn Retreat Barton Meadow Lodge Lists for £1 Million

Barton Meadow Lodge, a former barn featuring one bedroom in the Cotswolds, has been reimagined by esteemed British antiques dealer and interior designer Christopher Howe and is now listed for £1 million (around $1.3 million). Situated on nearly five acres close to Guiting Power in Gloucestershire, the property was initially acquired by clients seeking a temporary retreat during prolonged renovations of their Berkshire residence. Howe, who founded Howe London in 1986—a design firm, furniture maker, and antiques gallery—completed the renovation in just eight-and-a-half weeks, incorporating his hallmark elements such as lime-washed timber, antique furnishings, and a bespoke Plain English kitchen. French doors lead to gardens and wildflower meadows descending toward a brook. Most furnishings can be purchased separately, enabling the next owner to maintain Howe's aesthetic. Lindsay Cuthill, co-founder of Blue Book Agency, described the home as "exceptionally rare" and "the quintessential Cotswolds escape." The property is limited to holiday use only, and the listing is available on Robb Report, with more photos provided.
