Summary - 40 BARNSLEY CIRENCESTER GL7 5EE
Grade II Listed Cotswold cottage, circa 1690, superbly renovated
An exceptionally restored Grade II Listed Cotswold cottage combining 17th‑century character with contemporary comfort. The house offers generous, well‑proportioned rooms across multiple floors: four reception rooms, four bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged in about 2,368 sq ft. Original features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, stone floors and timber — have been retained and sympathetically enhanced during a recent high‑quality renovation.
Outside, the property sits in the heart of Barnsley village with a large, thoughtfully landscaped garden, terraces and seating areas ideal for summer entertaining. There is private off‑street parking, useful outbuildings (one restored, one with electricity and heating) and extensive planted borders enclosed by Cotswold stone walls. The location benefits from village amenities nearby and easy access to Cirencester, Burford and major road and rail links.
Practical points to note: Listed status will constrain alterations and may complicate future works. Heating is oil‑fired and drainage is private; there is no mobile signal on site. Council Tax is high (Band G). Despite these considerations, the house’s scale, finish and situation make it well suited to a family seeking a character home in an affluent Cotswold village or a buyer wanting a high‑quality period residence with low‑maintenance formal gardens.
This is a rare chance to own a large, newly renovated historic cottage in one of the Cotswolds’ most sought‑after villages — strong on charm, space and finished detail, but requiring awareness of listed‑building constraints and traditional running costs.
