Summary - THE OLD FARMHOUSE, MANOR FARM, BURFORD ROAD, LECHLADE GL7 3EX
Cotswold stone period farmhouse with original sash windows and fireplaces
The Old Farmhouse is a substantial Cotswold stone residence set at the end of a long drive beside paddocks, offering almost 3,717 sq ft of period accommodation across two principal floors. High ceilings, sash windows, multiple fireplaces and original features combine with practical spaces — a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, garden room with underfloor heating and a cellar — to deliver comfortable family living and entertaining. The grounds are unusually large for the village, with mature trees, lawns, box hedging, two courtyards and a ha-ha that enhance privacy and provide scope for landscaping or ancillary uses.
Layout flexibility is a strength: five double bedrooms (four on the principal floor), five bathrooms, five reception rooms plus study, games room and separate guest/nanny suite accessed from a secondary staircase. Outbuildings include a two-car garage, stables and a new greenhouse, supporting equestrian or hobby use and generous parking off a gravel driveway. The location on the edge of Lechlade places local shops, schools and river/water-park recreation within easy reach while keeping a quiet, rural aspect.
Important practical considerations are stated plainly. The property has listed status, so any alterations will be constrained and may prove costly; the house’s age means ongoing maintenance and sensitive repair work are likely. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is quite expensive. These factors suit buyers seeking character and space who are prepared to manage conservation requirements and upgrade infrastructure where desired.
For families or downsizers who prize historic character, privacy and a large plot close to village amenities, The Old Farmhouse offers rare scale and presence in the Cotswolds. For purchasers seeking renovation potential or ancillary uses (stables, gardens), the house presents opportunity — subject to the limitations that come with a listed, period property.
