Set within about 5.75 acres of formal garden, paddock and woodland, this substantial period country house blends traditional granite character with generous living space. The main house offers flexible accommodation across three floors — principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite, further bedrooms with en suites, two further bedrooms and multiple reception rooms — while a self-contained annexe provides independent living or guest accommodation. Rear and side grounds include a tennis court, stables and several outbuildings, creating strong potential for equestrian, hobby farming or multi-generational living.
The property’s virtues include a large, double-height modern rustic reception with exposed beams and plentiful natural light, a wine cellar and extensive parking with garage. Practical points: heating is powered by an LPG boiler with underfloor heating, mains broadband is fast, and there is negligible flood risk. The village location places Bagendon about 2 miles away with Cirencester 4 miles; Kemble station offers about 75-minute services to London Paddington.
Buyers should note material considerations honestly. The stone walls are traditional granite with assumed no insulation, and some elements will require sympathetic maintenance or retrofit to improve energy efficiency. Council tax is described as quite expensive and LPG fuel costs and servicing should be factored into ongoing running expenses. Outbuildings and stables are useful but their condition will vary and may need repair or upgrading.
This house suits buyers seeking a large country family home with ancillary accommodation, those wanting countryside lifestyle and outdoor space, or buyers looking to add value through careful modernisation and energy upgrades. It is best for purchasers prepared for maintenance typical of older stone properties and the higher running costs associated with private fuel and substantial grounds.
