Set at the end of a long drive on the edge of Lechlade, this Grade II Cotswold stone farmhouse offers generous, character-filled living across nearly 3,717 sq ft. The house retains period features — sash windows, fireplaces and high ceilings — and combines them with practical modern comforts such as underfloor heating in the garden room and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room. Grounds include extensive lawns, clipped hedging, two courtyards, paddocks, outbuildings, a greenhouse, garage and stables, providing versatile space for family life, hobbies or small-scale equestrian use.
Accommodation is flexible and substantial: five bedrooms (four doubles plus a ground-floor guest/nanny suite with en-suite), five reception rooms and five bathrooms across principally two floors. Dual staircases and separate living areas create opportunities for independent living zones or home-working. Good parking is provided via a gravel drive and two-car garage; low local crime and an affluent area profile add to the property's appeal.
Important practical considerations are clear and factual. The house is Grade II listed, which protects historic fabric but will restrict alterations and can complicate extensions, services or change-of-use. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average—factors to weigh if intensive home working or streaming are essential. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property is freehold and shows no flood risk.
This house will suit a buyer who values historic character, space and privacy and is prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities. There is genuine scope for sympathetic updating or reconfiguration to create contemporary living while preserving period detail, subject to consents. For buyers seeking a substantial family home in a quiet Cotswold market-town location with equestrian or outbuilding potential, this offers a rare, substantial plot and versatile accommodation.
