An exceptional and characterful four-bedroom detached house set in the sought-after village of Upper Slaughter. The Gasworks combines an original 1877 stone façade with a bold, CorTen steel modern extension, creating dramatic living spaces and generous natural light throughout. The principal suite and three further double bedrooms each have en suite bathrooms, offering comfortable, flexible accommodation for family life or hosting guests.
Ground-floor living centres on a vaulted kitchen/breakfast room, a cosy sitting room with log burner, a dining room and a glazed hallway that opens onto a quiet inner courtyard. The property includes a self-contained front office/writing room and a watch tower with snug and home office — useful for remote working. Landscaped gardens, a sweeping gravel driveway and off-street parking provide attractive outdoor space and strong kerb appeal; the plot stretches to open countryside with no flood risk.
Practical details to note: heating is by air-source heat pump with underfloor heating and the main fuel is electricity; the home sits on private drainage (Klargester). The Energy Performance Certificate is rated D and broadband speeds are very slow — important if you need high-speed internet. Council Tax band G means running costs will be higher than average. The house has been adapted over time, so there is a mix of historic and modern construction and finishes.
This home will suit buyers seeking a unique, rural family residence with versatile work-from-home spaces and substantial grounds. It rewards those who appreciate both period character and contemporary architectural statements but expect to budget for higher energy and council tax costs and to manage slower internet connectivity.
