Set within about 2.7 acres of mature gardens, Old Manor Farm is a substantial Grade II‑listed Cotswold stone house dating to c.1775. The house blends period character — exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and sash windows — with modern comforts such as a high-spec kitchen, utility room and multiple reception spaces, arranged over three floors for flexible family living.
Accommodation includes five double bedrooms and three bathrooms, a formal dining room, sitting room, snug and pantry, making the layout well suited to family life and entertaining. Outside there is parking for several cars, a separate barn/workshop and extensive grounds that offer seclusion, play space and scope for landscaping or productive gardens.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listing: any alterations will be subject to listed‑building consent and may add time and cost to planned changes. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — important for home working. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the size and age of the house will bring ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
Overall this is a rare historic country home for a buyer seeking character, privacy and generous grounds in a prosperous rural village. It will especially suit families who value period features and outdoor space and who accept the constraints and stewardship responsibilities of a listed property.
