Summary - OLD RECTORY COACH HOUSE HIGH STREET BOURTON ON THE WATER CHELTENHAM GL54 2AP
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious four-bedroom period house with studio, walled gardens and gated parking in Bourton village.
Detached Cotswold stone former coach house with substantial footprint
A substantial former coach house on Bourton-on-the-Water’s High Street, this four-bedroom detached home combines spacious period proportions with private, walled gardens and gated parking. The ground floor offers three principal reception rooms with working fireplaces, newly refurbished original parquet flooring and a vaulted studio currently used as an office/gym — useful ancillary accommodation with separate access. The large dual-aspect principal suite and three further bedrooms give true family flexibility in a desirable village setting.
The garden is split into distinct outdoor rooms: a lawn alongside the house, a formal secondary lawn and a large paved patio, all framed by mature flower beds and stone walls for good seclusion. The gated forecourt provides off-street parking, and the overall plot is large for a High Street location, offering scope for outdoor living and practical storage (large shed and outbuilding).
Buyers should note several practical considerations: the EPC rating is E, glazing dates to before 2002 and the stone walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, so upgrading heating and insulation would improve comfort and running costs. Council tax is high (Band G) and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone — appropriate surveys and insurance checks are recommended. Some decorative updating will be needed in places to refresh paintwork and services to modern standards.
This house will suit buyers seeking a sizeable, character-rich family home in a quintessential Cotswold village who value traditional features and flexible ancillary space. It also offers clear potential for sympathetic modernisation to enhance energy performance and resale value while retaining strong curb appeal and period charm.
