Description

With versatile and beautifully presented accommodation and the ability to have a ground floor annex the property is ideal for multi-generational living.

Set in an enviable semi-rural location on the northern edge of the Cotswolds, Greenacres Farmhouse offers the rare opportunity, balancing heritage sensitivity with modern comfort.

A substantial study / family room with dual aspect provides an exciting opportunity for a variety of uses and is currently used as an impressive reception room. This connects to a downstairs bedroom with en suite bathroom. This wing of the house has a separate door to the garden and could be used as an integrated annex, ideal for multigenerational living.
