Old Barn Cottage is a charming Cotswold stone barn conversion tucked into Stanton village, offered chain-free and well placed for Broadway. The house combines period character — exposed timbers, a log-burning stove and stone walling — with practical living, including a fitted kitchen/dining room that opens to a private courtyard garden. A stone-built garage en bloc provides convenient parking.Storage and flexible layout make the cottage equally suitable as a weekend bolthole, a downsizer’s home, or a lettable investment.
Accommodation is compact and characterful: the sitting room is cosy with low ceilings and exposed beams, while two double bedrooms upstairs (with visible timbers) share a single bathroom. There is a versatile ground-floor study that could serve as a third bedroom or workspace, plus a cloakroom. The courtyard garden has been landscaped for low maintenance but is currently partly enclosed with a temporary fence.
Practical considerations: the property is older construction with stone walls that are assumed uninsulated, EPC D, and modest internal room sizes with lower ceiling heights in places. Council tax is noted as expensive. These factors make the cottage better suited to buyers seeking character and location over a large modern footprint, or to investors targeting short-let or holiday rental potential in the Cotswolds.
Stanton offers a quiet village lifestyle with strong community amenities, a well-regarded local pub, riding school and nearby good schools. For buyers wanting a compact, characterful base close to Broadway’s attractions, this cottage provides an attractive, low-upkeep option with clear renovation or improvement potential.
