Grade II listed Cotswold stone townhouse, circa 1700
Holm Oak House is a beautifully presented Grade II listed town house dating from around 1700, recently refurbished to combine period character with contemporary comforts. Spacious reception rooms, exposed timbers, flagstone floors and multiple inglenook fireplaces create an immediate sense of historic warmth, while a fitted kitchen with AGA and a vaulted breakfast room provide practical family living. The master bedroom opens to the full roof height and delivers dramatic character and space.
Externally the property offers a sheltered flagstone courtyard directly off the kitchen and a private, walled landscaped “secret” garden beyond, with pedestrian access onto the High Street. At almost 3,000 sq ft across multiple levels, the house suits a family seeking central Chipping Campden living with garden privacy and excellent broadband for remote working.
Important practical points: the house’s Grade II listing means alterations will be restricted and specialist consent may be needed for works. As a historic sandstone/limestone building it likely lacks modern wall insulation, so heating efficiency and ongoing conservation maintenance should be factored into ownership costs. Council Tax is at the higher banding for the area.
For families who value historic character, central convenience and generous living space, Holm Oak House offers a rare combination of authentic Cotswold features and recent refurbishment. Buyers seeking extensive modernisation or structural change should allow for listed-building constraints and specialist refurbishment costs.
