An enchanting former farmhouse offering immense charm and a wealth of period features nestled in an unspoilt Cotswold hamlet with nearly 7 acres of grounds, stabling and extensive outbuildings
Background & History - Duntisbourne Leer Farm offers a magnificent family home in an idyllic location; the sort of home where lasting memories are made.
Steeped in historic interest, the Grade II Listed former farmhouse harmoniously combines period features with modern updates. The principal residence dates back to the C15th with a later C18th extension and there was even a dwelling listed on the site of the farmhouse in the Domesday book.
The modern day Duntisbourne Leer Farm offers the perfect combination of space alongside cosy corners. A traditional farmhouse kitchen sits at the heart of the home. Three receptions offer a room for all occasions and large landings on the upper floors create a wonderful sense of space. Aged beams, window seats, flagstone floors and shutters created from old church pews, together create a timeless sense of history and charm.
Offering a wealth of character and nearly 10,000sq feet of accommodation and outbuildings, the property provides an idyllic setting to bring up a family.
Property Details - A sweeping driveway leads to an enclosed courtyard enveloped by historic outbuildings belonging to the original farm, along with ample driveway parking.
An impressive oak door opens to a spacious reception hall with original flagstone floor and plenty of room to store muddy boots and country paraphernalia.
The heart of any home is always the kitchen and Duntisbourne Leer Farm is no exception. Formerly the grain store to the original farm, the kitchen is a wonderful space for family living. A cream Aga provides a warming focal point and shaker style units create plentiful discreet storage. Ideally designed for informal entertaining and family suppers, there is room for a large table along with a sofa and armchairs for relaxed living. Double doors open to a paved terrace, the perfect spot for alfresco dining or a morning coffee.
When looking to entertain more formally, the dining room offers a handsome room full of character with a large inglenook fireplace ideal for long nights spent chatting with friends over dinner before retiring to the drawing room with its open fire and pretty view over the courtyard. Meanwhile, a separate sitting room/snug provides an additional reception, ideal for teenagers or family TV nights.
Two separate staircases lead to the upper floors with three first floor bedrooms and a further three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper floor. The principal bedroom has a pretty outlook over the terrace and garden with adjacent large en-suite Jack and Jill bathroom. A spacious landing creates a decadent sense of space and also works well as an office area. A useful laundry area is located on the first floor.
Grounds And Outbuildings - The garden and grounds at Duntisbourne Leer Farm are an absolute delight. Set in 6.8 acres the property benefits from a level lawn overlooking its paddocks, ideal for horses and livestock, along with various courtyard seating areas to enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
The property benefits from a host of outbuildings including a restored stone cattle shed now used as a two storey studio and a stunning Cotswold stone barn which has handsome large doors opening into the main barn with a purpose-built stage that has played host to many a performance created by amateur theatrical groups for children; this has also been used extensively by the current owners to host family parties and weddings and village social events.
Further outbuildings flank the main barn including beautifully preserved stables, workshops and stores. The stables could accommodate up to two horses for families with an equestrian interest but they also have the potential for development into guest accommodation or office space, subject to the necessary planning consent.
Planning was previously granted (now lapsed) to convert the first floor above the stables into ancillary accommodation (App Ref: 20/03858/Ful).

Property information from this agent
About this agent
Minchinhampton is situated within an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', immediately west of Cirencester and between Tetbury to the south and Stroud to the north. With its unspoilt High Street, Market House and 17th century church with distinctive "coronet" tower, Minchinhampton is a classic example of a traditional Cotswold market town. With its popular primary school, medical centre, dental surgery, library and shops, Minchinhampton is a vibrant community which attracts both families and the retired, has three challenging golf courses in the immediate vicinity, tennis, cricket and rugby clubs, as well as numerous societies. A particular attraction is the adjacent Minchinhampton Common, over 500 acres in the care of the National Trust on the opposite side of which is Beaudesert Park, one of the region's most sought after private schools. Minchinhampton is about 15 minutes drive from Kemble Station from where services to Paddington are scheduled from 75 minutes, while Cirencester is equally convenient. Colloquially known as capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester has an outstanding range of independent retailers and from there it is dual carriageway to Swindon and Junction 15 of the M4 motorway for London or Heathrow Airport. Bath and Bristol, in the opposite direction, are also very accessible from Minchinhampton. The Minchinhampton Office serves the town and adjacent towns and villages in the south-west of the Cotswold region, including Tetbury and down to the Severn Vale in close co-operation with its sister offices at Stroud and Painswick and The Mayfair Office in central London.
