Four bedrooms; flexible layout with two reception rooms
27ft sitting room with stone fireplace and wood-burning stove
Detached outbuilding with shower room — annexe or home office potential

Set behind double gates in the popular village of Minety, this detached Cotswold stone home offers spacious family living on a generous plot and is sold with no onward chain. The house retains authentic period features — exposed beams, a stone fireplace with wood-burning stove, and a traditional Aga in the kitchen — giving immediate character while also presenting clear scope to update and personalise. A light-filled 27ft sitting room and separate reception room create flexible family spaces.
Outside, the mature wraparound garden, large garage, generous driveway parking and a detached outbuilding with its own shower room broaden the property’s appeal. The outbuilding is ready for use as an annexe, home office or studio but will likely need finishing works to suit long-term residential use. There is good access to local amenities, a highly regarded primary school in the village, and commuter links via Kemble and Swindon.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the home is heated by an oil-fired boiler with radiators, the walls are original solid construction (assumed uninsulated), and the age of the double glazing is unspecified. These factors mean buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and possible modernisation. Council tax is noted as quite expensive. For purchasers seeking a character-filled family house with space to extend or improve (subject to planning), this property offers strong potential in an affluent rural setting.
