The Laurels is a handsome, spacious five-bedroom detached house set over three floors in the North Cotswolds. Presented to a high standard throughout, the property combines Cotswold stone character with contemporary fittings, generous reception rooms and well-proportioned bedrooms—two of which have ensuite facilities. Landscaped, gated grounds, a long in-and-out gravel driveway and a two-bay car port provide secure parking and attractive outdoor living space.
Currently run as a successful holiday let, the house offers strong short-break income potential as well as comfortable family living. The kitchen/dining room and reception rooms open directly to the garden via French doors, supporting easy indoor–outdoor entertaining. The location in Draycott places the house between Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Campden, with fast broadband, good local schools and countryside walking on the doorstep.
Buyers should note material running and improvement factors: the EPC is rated E and the property’s original stone walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, which may mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit works. Council tax is described as expensive, and the area has a higher local crime score, which prospective purchasers should investigate. Double glazing is fitted but install dates are unknown, and the house dates from the early 20th century so periodic maintenance on traditional fabric should be expected.
Overall, this is a versatile, characterful family home or holiday business in an attractive rural setting. It will suit buyers seeking space, Cotswold charm and outdoor privacy, and those prepared to accept or invest in energy-efficiency improvements and routine upkeep associated with an older stone property.
