Summary - WINTER BARN, MAIN STREET GL56 9RE
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Characterful country home with major outbuilding potential for expanding family life.
Large detached barn conversion with generous living spaces
Winter Barn is a spacious, characterful barn conversion set on a very large plot in the Cotswold village of Stretton-on-Fosse. The main house offers generous, light-filled living space with limestone floors, exposed beams, a bespoke kitchen with Gaggenau ovens and an oil-fired Aga, plus two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Underfloor heating and solar panels add comfort and running-cost offset. The property sits behind a sweeping drive with south-west facing terrace, formal gardens and open countryside views.
A major strength is the extensive ancillary accommodation: two large attached workshops and an oak-framed ‘New Barn’ built to house multiple cars. These buildings have electrics and drainage and offer genuine scope to extend or repurpose into larger family accommodation, hobby workshops or garaging (subject to planning consent). The paddock and access to bridleways enhance the rural lifestyle appeal for families with horses, hobbies or keen gardeners.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house uses oil-fired central heating and appears to have solid brick walls with no added cavity insulation (assumed), so improvement work could be considered to raise thermal performance. Council tax is high (Band G) and broadband is recorded as very slow in the property data, so check connectivity requirements. The workshops are currently used for engineering and car restoration and would need permissions to change to living space.
For a family seeking character, space and flexible ancillary buildings in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Winter Barn offers a rare combination of immediate comfort and clear potential to create a larger, bespoke home. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the plot and the conversion opportunities on offer.
