A substantial period farmhouse set in over 1.5 acres, offered chain free and refurbished to provide flexible family living. Ground-floor reception rooms include a dual-aspect sitting room with French doors, a family room with an inglenook fireplace and a large dual-aspect kitchen with central island and integrated appliances. Four generous first-floor bedrooms include three en suites, while a versatile 958 sq ft second-floor annexe (sitting room, dining kitchen, bedroom, shower room) suits guests, older children or rental income.
The long private driveway leads to extensive parking, garaging, storerooms and a first-floor office suite above, useful for home working or a small business (subject to planning). Gardens are well maintained and principally laid to lawn with mature planting and broad terrace areas that take advantage of far-reaching countryside views. Services include mains electricity and water, LPG-fired central heating to a boiler and private drainage to a treatment plant.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are very slow and the property uses bulk LPG rather than mains gas. Council tax is described as expensive. The rural, hamlet setting gives privacy and low crime but is relatively isolated from urban amenities; convenient road access to Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Cheltenham makes commuting possible.
This house suits multi-generational family life or someone seeking substantial rural accommodation with outbuildings and flexible living space. The large plot, separate studio/office and second-floor annexe provide scope for home business use or adaptation, subject to necessary consents.
