Old Dairy Barn is a substantial Cotswold stone home combining period character with generous, flexible living space. Set in about 0.86 acres with well-tended lawns, mature hedges and a vegetable plot, the property delivers extensive family accommodation and attractive south-west facing rooms that capture afternoon and evening light.
Internally the house provides five double bedrooms across an expansive 5,195 sq ft footprint, with five reception rooms including a drawing room with wood burner, a sitting room and a kitchen/breakfast room with Aga and large island. Many principal rooms open to a patio and garden; exposed beams, fireplaces and large windows retain strong period character while more recent upgrades provide modern comfort.
Practical considerations are clear: the house has two bathrooms serving five bedrooms and council tax is very expensive. Heating is described principally as an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating, although services notes also record oil-fired central heating — buyers should confirm the current system and running costs. The current owner has maintained and improved the gardens over 20 years, but the scale of the house means ongoing maintenance and running costs are notable.
This property suits a family seeking a spacious, characterful village home with good broadband and mobile signal, or buyers looking for a large country base near Cirencester and the Cotswolds AONB. Its private position in a sought-after village, extensive grounds and flexible internal layout offer strong long-term appeal, but budget planning for heating, maintenance and council tax is essential.
