Peaceful country living in Barrington
Barrington is a peaceful town in Strafford County, New Hampshire. Encompassing about 50 square miles of natural landscape and tranquil lakes, Barrington offers many outdoor opportunities and recreational activities. The town has a population of around 10,000, and is primarily a residential community with some local establishments along Calef Highway. “People here love their town and take great pride in living here,” says Stephanie Sweeney, the town’s youth and community program coordinator. “Barrington is a unique setup in that the town has some really cute mom and pop local stores, but it’s also easily accessible to bigger places like Rochester, Dover and Portsmouth, so nothing’s out of reach.”
Properties along Swains Lake enjoy direct access to the water.
Caleb’s Country Store adds local flavor to Barrington.
