A SPACIOUS, 5-BEDROOM DETACHED PERIOD HOME SET IN A GENEROUS PLOT ON THE EDGE OF A SOUGHT-AFTER VILLAGE WITH DETACHED ANNEXE/GARAGING, MATURE GARDENS AND GENEROUS PARKING.
Folly Farm Cottage is a spacious 5-bedroom village home that has seen great improvement in recent years. The entrance hall, featuring underfloor heating, offers a warm and welcoming introduction to the house where the principal reception spaces include a stunning triple-aspect sitting room with French doors opening onto the rear terrace, bathing the room in light and creating a seamless flow to the outdoors. There is wooden and tile flooring throughout most of the downstairs.
The kitchen is designed for everyday living, offering extensive storage, a range cooker and access to a separate, well-equipped utility room. The drawing room, with its dual aspect, oak flooring and wood-burning stove, provides a cosy yet elegant retreat for quieter moments or evening relaxation, and leads to a conservatory with open views of the mature gardens.
On the first floor, the cleverly designed layout is split by two staircases, offering excellent privacy and flexibility. One side features the principal bedroom with its own en-suite shower room and a charming Juliette balcony with countryside views. The opposite wing offers three further generously proportioned bedrooms, all with their own en-suite facilities, arranged around a spacious central landing. This thoughtful layout is ideal for families, guests, or multigenerational living, blending character, comfort and practicality in a truly inviting home.
The detached annexe offers excellent versatility, comprising a double garage with twin doors, power and lighting. A separate entrance leads to a light and spacious studio above-triple aspect and thoughtfully designed with a Juliette balcony with garden views, kitchenette and bathroom, making it ideal for guest accommodation, a home office or creative workspace.
The property sits within a generous and beautifully established plot, surrounded by mature gardens that provide both privacy and year-round interest. A well-maintained lawn is bordered by an array of mature shrubs and ornamental and fruit trees, creating a peaceful and secluded setting. Cotswold stone walling adds to the character and charm of the outdoor space, while a spacious gravel driveway offers ample parking for multiple vehicles. The overall setting complements the house perfectly, offering a tranquil and attractive environment in keeping with its village-edge location.
Ilmington is a charming village on the borders of Warwickshire and Gloucestershire, enjoying all the character of a traditional Cotswold village with its attractive stone cottages and houses, many of which are listed as being of architectural or historic interest, whilst remaining within comfortable motoring distance of most West Midlands centres. It was voted The Sunday Times Best Place to Live in the Midlands (2025) describing it as a 'blissful example of village life'. Designated largely as a conservation area, the village sits amidst beautiful countryside within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a fine Parish Church, two village inns including The Howard Arms - renowned for its cuisine - a thriving primary school rated 'Good' by Ofsted, and a popular community shop. The village offers an active social scene with numerous clubs and activities, including active Morris Dancing groups, a bowls club, book club, parent-and-baby group, and seasonal open garden events. A well-used sports field supports community recreation, and the annual village show which has raised over £25,000 over the last 10 years for a variety of local causes, highlighting the strong local spirit. Chipping Campden and Shipston-on-Stour provide excellent local shopping, while Stratford-upon-Avon, accessible by bus, serves as the main shopping and cultural centre for the wider area. For commuters, there are mainline train services to London Paddington from Moreton-in-Marsh and to London Marylebone from Banbury.
