Summary - BARNES CLOSE, LITTLEWORTH GL5 5AG
Seven bedrooms and five bathrooms across c.6,835 sq ft
Barns Close is a substantial Victorian country house set in an elevated, tucked-away position on the edge of Littleworth, enjoying wide southerly views across the Woodchester Valley. Arranged over multiple floors, the house offers generous principal rooms, large fireplaces, wide-pane windows and period proportions that suit family life and entertaining. The kitchen/dining family space links easily to a sitting room and games room, while seven bedrooms and five bathrooms provide flexible accommodation for a growing or multi-generational household.
The mature, well-structured gardens and grounds extend to about 6.44 acres and include a south-west terrace beside the swimming pool, an ornamental pond, tennis court, stable yard and a fenced pasture paddock. A gated gravel drive, double car port and additional parking serve the house while maintaining a private, estate-like setting. Practical services include mains gas central heating, fast Gigaclear broadband and double glazing installed since 2002.
Important ownership and maintenance points are clear: the adjoining pasture (c.5 acres) is held in a trust and the owners’ interest is via a single-purpose company with an agricultural tenancy in perpetuity — a legal arrangement buyers should review. Drainage is private, council tax is very expensive and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so upgrading for efficiency may be needed. Overall, Barns Close will appeal to families seeking a characterful country home with equestrian or garden potential and outstanding valley views, but buyers should factor in the property’s unique title arrangements and likely running and improvement costs.
Local amenities are strong: nearby Amberley and Minchinhampton supply village shops, pubs and primary schooling, Beaudesert Park is a short distance away, and larger centres such as Stroud, Tetbury and Cheltenham are within easy reach by road.
