Summary - Downs Barn Lodge, Frampton Mansell GL6 8HX
6 bed 5 bath Detached
Exceptional family home with separate two‑bed cottage and nearly five acres.
Six bedrooms and five bathrooms across the main house
A substantial converted Cotswold barn set in nearly 5 acres of mature grounds, The Downs Barn offers generous, flexible family living across three floors. The principal house provides six bedrooms, five bathrooms and multiple reception rooms including a drawing room with exposed beams and a large open-plan kitchen/dining/conservatory opening onto a private enclosed swimming pool garden. A lower-ground family/games room and sunken garden add informal living space ideal for children and entertaining.
A short walk from the main house sits a charming two‑bedroom stone cottage with its own garden, garage and stores — well suited for guests, a dependent relative or as a holiday/letting cottage. The plot includes formal lawns, two paddocks, specimen trees and a wooded area, offering privacy and a true countryside setting while remaining within easy reach of Cirencester, Stroud and local amenities.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction: the building dates from the 1700s, the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the double glazing was installed before 2002. Services are a mix (oil-fired heating noted alongside an air-source heat pump, electric supply and private drainage). These factors create refurbishment and ongoing maintenance considerations and contribute to a quite expensive council tax banding.
For an extended family seeking space, seclusion and character — or for purchasers wanting an income stream from the cottage — this is a rare plot with scope to modernise and tailor the interiors while retaining strong period features and exceptional grounds.
