Dating back to 17th century, Thickwood House is a handsome Grade II listed family house built of traditional Cotswold stone under a stone tiled roof. The approach is up an attractive chestnut lined drive, and the house is south facing with views across the beautiful gardens and countryside beyond. Inside, the layout and proportions ensure Thickwood House is the perfect family home, with a wealth of period features throughout including original flagstone floors, sash windows, shutters, stone fireplaces and wooden flooring.

There is a pleasing flow throughout. The ground floor comprises an elegant entrance hall, sitting room and dining room at the front of the house and the kitchen, pantry and study at the rear. The principal bedroom enjoys rural views, en suite bathroom and separate dressing room. There are a further five guest bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room over the first and second floors. Thickwood House is a house filled with original character and style. It is blessed by an abundance of natural light throughout and has a delightful welcoming feel.

There are two self-contained cottages which have been sympathetically converted from a Cotswold stone byre and retain many traditional features. They are both well-presented and offer excellent flexible ancillary accommodation.

Established in 1995 by the current owners, Calder House is an Independent School specially organised to make special educational provision for pupils with specific learning difficulties. The school has offered children the opportunity to succeed in a friendly, fun, non-competitive learning environment to help pupils return within a short time frame to mainstream education. The school will close in July 2023 and the school buildings will be available for another use.

The school facilities are situated behind the main house and use several of the attractive outbuildings. The school has a capacity of 48 pupils and the existing accommodation comprises nine classrooms and an art room, a main hall, staff room/office, library, shower and WC facilities, barn/play area, grassed playground, sports field and tennis court. The school facilities are in excellent order and lend themselves to be easily converted for a different use, subject to planning permission if required.

The south-facing gardens are a delight and complement Thickwood House perfectly. There is an abundance of mature trees, lawns, lavender, rose arches and rich herbaceous borders, all of which have been cleverly planted to provide colour and interest throughout the seasons. There are a number of sheltered spots to enjoy throughout the day. Beyond the front garden is a charming orchard, water garden and the cottage gardens. Thickwood House also enjoys an extensive array of stone outbuildings including a magnificent traditional barn, stable barn and a pavilion.

The land surrounding the house is good pastureland which is predominantly used for sheep grazing. The land extends to c. 41 acres in total.
