Summary - Holcombe House, Minchinhampton GL6 9AJ
Grade II listed Georgian house with grand rooms and high ceilings
Holcombe House is a grand Grade II listed Georgian country house set on about 9.68 acres on the edge of Minchinhampton. The house offers exceptionally large, well-proportioned rooms across three floors, high ceilings and formal reception rooms ideal for family living and entertaining. Extensive landscaping, terraces and a 100sqm patio provide private, elevated views over treelined glades and the surrounding Cotswold countryside.
The estate includes equestrian facilities — paddocks, a block of stables, a barn, store and a rubber-fibre arena — all close to the house, making this property well-suited to equestrian families or buyers seeking rural leisure uses. Recent modernisation has focused on energy efficiency and contemporary comfort: two air-source heat pumps, roughly 52 solar panels with battery storage, underfloor heating in principal rooms and an EV charger reduce running costs and carbon footprint.
Important practical points are presented plainly. The property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and require listed-building consent, which will complicate major changes. Council tax is very expensive and the local recorded crime is above average. While the house has been newly renovated to a high standard, its age and traditional stone walls mean some historic fabric may limit insulation options and future works.
This is a rare offering for a buyer seeking a large, energy-efficient period house with established equestrian facilities and private grounds in a highly desirable Cotswold setting. The combination of modern systems and classic proportions suits a family wanting space and lifestyle; buyers should factor in the implications of listed status, higher local taxes and local crime statistics when considering purchase.
