An exceptional Grade II listed Georgian rectory set on about 4.05 acres in the Cotswolds, offering substantial family accommodation with authentic period detail. The principal house provides large reception rooms, high ceilings, stone and hardwood floors, feature fireplaces and sash windows — all combining to deliver an impressive, characterful home for entertaining and everyday family life.
The estate includes a two-bedroom cottage and a one-bedroom bothy, extensive outbuildings, a triple-bay garage with potential above subject to planning, a tennis court, greenhouse, orchard and well-tended compartmental gardens. Fast Gigaclear broadband and good road links (Tetbury c.2 miles; Kemble station c.9 miles) make the property practical for modern living despite its rural setting.
Notable practical points: the house is Grade II listed which will limit alterations and can complicate permissions and maintenance. Heating is oil-fired with boiler/radiators and drainage is private; council tax is very high. Parts of the estate and some buildings will require ongoing maintenance and any conversion or enlargement will need listed-building consent and planning permission.
This is a rare opportunity for a buyer seeking a substantial, historically important country residence with ancillary dwellings and wide-ranging scope for sensitive improvement. It will suit a family seeking space and privacy, or a buyer prepared to manage the responsibilities of a listed estate and its running costs.
