9 bedroom detached house to rent

Substantial Country Residence in the heart of Coln St. Aldwyns.

Description

Set within the peaceful and highly coveted Coln Valley, The Mill House is an exceptional country residence available to let in one of the Cotswolds’ most desirable villages. Approached via a long driveway that gently follows the course of a tranquil fishing river, the property enjoys a wonderfully discreet and serene setting. Electric gates open onto a sweeping gravelled drive, framed by mature trees and manicured lawns, leading to the handsome façade of this substantial family home.

Extending to over 10,000 sqft and arranged across three floors, The Mill House offers expansive, beautifully balanced accommodation ideal for both family living and entertaining. A grand reception hall provides an impressive sense of arrival. To the front are two elegant reception rooms, each with open fires and views across the gardens, perfect for formal entertaining or relaxed evenings. These lead through to a generous dining room, ideal for hosting, which in turn connects to the well-appointed kitchen. The kitchen is designed for everyday living, with extensive cabinetry, ample storage and an everyday dining area. A utility room and additional store sit just beyond the kitchen. To the rear of the ground floor, there is a fantastic Wet bar, along with a further utility space, pantry, study and cloakroom provide excellent practicality for modern family life.

The principal staircase rises to the first floor, where to the right is the generous principal suite. This luxurious space includes a spacious bedroom and dressing room/bathroom, which enjoys peaceful views over the garden. As you continue on the first floor there are four further bedrooms, and a flexible fifth bedroom / study. Each room has their own bathrooms, which complete this level, offering comfort and privacy for family members and guests. The top floor provides three additional bedrooms, all en suite, together with a large playroom, which is an ideal retreat for children or teenagers, or equally suited to use as a media room or informal living space.

A further bedroom is located off the kitchen, perfectly suited for staff or a live in chef. The property also includes a basement, though this is not suitable for storage due to occasional flooding.

A separate annexe provides excellent ancillary accommodation, ideal for extended family, guests or staff. The ground floor comprises a study and kitchen, while the first floor offers two bedrooms, a bathroom and a generous sitting room.

The grounds are a particular highlight. Beautifully maintained lawns, mature planting and a tennis court create a setting that is both elegant and inviting. The river, which borders the approach, enhances the sense of tranquillity and provides a picturesque backdrop throughout the seasons. The overall atmosphere is one of calm and privacy, making The Mill House a rare and desirable rental opportunity.

The property is available unfurnished, offering flexibility for tenants seeking a refined and substantial home in a highly sought after Cotswold location.

Please note at the back of the house there is a regularly used public footpath called 'Stony Path'.

Aircraft from nearby Fairford Airbase often fly over and particularly during the Air Tattoo.

Location

Coln St Aldwyns is a charming pretty village, held in the highest esteem by locals and visitors alike, and is set within a Conservation Area and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Cotswold cottages that predominate give a very pretty appearance to the village yet the landscape alone is beautiful with gentle slopes and meadows leading down to the River Coln. The village’s strategic location adjacent to the river encouraged early settlement in the area and, thus, the large majority of the properties are period houses and cottages.

Albeit a small community, Coln St Aldwyns is fortunate in retaining its community shop and Post Office and the highly acclaimed pub/restaurant, ironically called The New Inn.

Communications in the area are first class with easy access to London, Swindon, Bath and Bristol. Junction 15 of the M4 is within easy access and close to Cheltenham is Junction 11a of the M5 which links to Birmingham and the south. Swindon Station provides a regular service to London Paddington taking approximately 60 minutes. The neighboring village of Hatherop provides a primary school and private education with Hatherop Castle School, whilst the nearest state secondary school is Farmor’s School in Fairford, some 3 miles away.

Square Footage: 10,050 sq ft
