The Property:
The Manor House, Driffield, was built in the 1920s as a ballroom wing, tenuously connected to the west side of the older part of the original Manor by a single-story. The current owners have sympathetically remodelled and refurbished the property to create a light, bright, modern home, with the main rooms focusing south and west over its grounds. Due to its curtilage listing, special attention has been made to the retention and enhancement of many characterful features, including stone mullion windows and Cotswold stone elevations.
Approached over a private gravel driveway that passes through beautifully manicured gardens of approximately 1.2 acres. The driveway opens to a large parking area giving access to the main house, annexe and outbuildings, which have also been redeveloped. These now offer a large workshop and garage building, with a gardener's WC and loft storage, that could convert to office space subject to relevant permission. Attached is an immaculately presented, self-contained, single-story, one bedroom annexe.
Location:
The Manor House is superbly located in the attractive small village of Driffield, with a welcoming and friendly community. The village is surrounded by open fields with lots of footpaths, a duck pond and a lovely church. Conveniently situated near to Cirencester and Cheltenham. Known as the “Capital of the Cotswolds”.

Sporting opportunities are abundant with nearby golf courses in Cirencester, Minchinhampton, Naunton and a public course in nearby South Cerney.
