5 bedroom detached house for sale

Woodmancote Farm is a beautifully presented Grade II listed Cotswold stone farmhouse, dating back to circa 1690, with later additions in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Thoughtfully renovated by the current owners, this substantial and characterful detached home retains a wealth of period features, offering an exceptional blend of traditional charm and modern living.

The accommodation is generously proportioned and spans two main floors, with an impressive attic offering stunning far-reaching views, including glimpses of Wales, the Malvern Hills, Tewkesbury Abbey, and Gloucester Cathedral on clear days.

The property boasts original period details, such as Inglenook fireplaces, stone mullioned windows, leaded lights, exposed beams, and timber floors. A well and dovecote further enhance the character of this historical home. The entrance hall, with tiled flooring and an exposed stone wall, opens to various reception rooms. The impressive sitting/dining room runs the length of the house with dual aspect windows, a window seat, and two fireplaces, one of which is an Inglenook with an adjoining original settle. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall and floor units, a gas-fired Aga, and a separate electric oven. A stable door leads to the conservatory and utility/cloakroom.

The first floor comprises three large bedrooms, with a family bathroom. A storage cupboard and an elm staircase complete the first floor layout. A narrow spiral staircase leads to the second floor, offering a series of large and versatile rooms, ideal for additional bedrooms, a study, or hobbies rooms. The old dovecote has been converted into a modern shower room, retaining its original charm, though access to this area requires an additional very long step up.

The property is set on a generous plot of just over one third of an acre, with private, south- and west-facing gardens. The beautifully landscaped space includes flower and shrub borders, climbing roses, and a well. A large gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a two-bay open-fronted garage, which has an additional home office/games room above, complete with Velux windows and electric power.

Situated on the edge of the charming village of Woodmancote, the property offers beautiful views towards Cleeve Hill and easy access to a wealth of outdoor pursuits. Local amenities are within a short distance, including shops, public houses, and schools. The Regency town of Cheltenham is just a few miles away, offering a wide range of facilities and cultural events.
