GL54 1BU
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious period house with independent cottage and large gardens, ideal for family life.
Short walk to Stow market square and local amenities
The Retreat is a substantial Cotswold stone home set a short walk from Stow-on-the-Wold’s market square. The principal house offers generous reception rooms, a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, and five bedrooms across spacious, characterful floors. A detached one‑bedroom cottage provides independent guest accommodation or a potential income stream for holiday letting.
Finished with traditional stone, a limestone entrance and an ornate Cotswold stone staircase, the property combines period charm with practical living: four bathrooms, a study, utility and boot room, and multiple terraces that connect indoor and outdoor life. Gardens wrap the house on all sides across approximately 0.30 acres, with mature planting, lawns and ample off‑street parking.
Practical points to note: the home is freehold and sits in an affluent small‑town setting with excellent mobile signal but average broadband speeds. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and buyers should budget accordingly. The detached cottage makes the house flexible for multigenerational living or rental income but will add ongoing maintenance responsibilities for the overall estate.
This property will suit a family seeking a long‑term town base in the North Cotswolds, or a buyer wanting a characterful second home with income potential. Its proximity to excellent local schools, transport links and the vibrant market square makes it a rare combination of village convenience and Cotswold country lifestyle.
