The Barn House has delightful private gardens of approximately 2.5 acres, which include sweeping lawns, mature trees, an orchard and a tennis court.

To the far end of the garden is a tennis court, orchard and stable, with a paddock beyond.
The Barn House is situated in the pretty village of Sonning Eye, a hamlet of several properties, and on the river is an excellent luxury
hotel and restaurant, The French Horn. The hamlet is surrounded by open countryside. Sonning Eye is adjacent to the village of Sonning, which is linked by crossing the 18th-century brick-arched Sonning Bridge combined with Sonning Backwater Bridges.
Sonning is a historic and picturesque Thameside village in Berkshire. It is a highly popular location in proximity to Reading, Henley-on-Thames, and Wargrave. The Mill at Sonning, with much of the original structure retained, the 18th Century Flour Mill has been converted into a renowned Dinner Theatre where you can enjoy a meal before watching the performance in the air-conditioned auditorium. There are several
other excellent pubs and restaurants to choose from. There are many clubs, such as tennis, squash, hockey, cricket, golf, sports and social clubs, and a village shop with tea rooms. There are also annual social events that immediately make you feel part of a friendly but respectful community; it truly is a magical place to live. There is access to the River Thames and Sonning Lock, which is lovely for a stroll along the towpath. The magical scenery surrounding this village is a joy for cyclists and walkers.
