Summary - Home Farm Cottage, Upper Slaughter GL54 2JD
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Characterful Grade II cottage with large garden and approved barn conversion potential.
Grade II listed Cotswold stone cottage, heavy character throughout
Home Farm Cottage is an exceptional Grade II listed Cotswold stone house set in the heart of Upper Slaughter. Dating from the 18th century, the house retains authentic character: flagstone floors, exposed timbers, an inglenook with a wood-burning stove and a vaulted principal bedroom. At about 1,892 sq ft with a sizeable walled garden and parking for several cars, the house feels significantly larger than many village cottages.
A substantial stone outbuilding and carport add practical space and clear potential. One half is already converted to a bedroom/study with a WC; the other half is an open stone barn with full planning permission to convert to ancillary accommodation or a holiday let — plans are available. That permission creates an attractive route to add living space or rental income, subject to listed-building conditions and the usual consents.
Buyers should note the material constraints. The property is Grade II listed and lies in a Conservation Area, which will restrict alterations and can add time and cost to projects. Heating is oil-fired (EPC rating E) and the original stone walls have no assumed insulation, so upgrading energy performance and heating will be necessary if modern efficiency is required. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, despite excellent mobile signal.
This house suits buyers who prioritise period character, village life and scope for sympathetic improvement rather than turnkey modern convenience. For families or buyers seeking a Cotswold base with development upside, the combination of generous space, planning for the outbuilding and a superb village location offers a rare opportunity — provided they are comfortable working within listed-building and conservation constraints.
