Location
Monk Bretton is situated on the edge of the charming and unspoilt village of Barnsley which is famous for Barnsley House, a boutique hotel and formerly the home of the late garden designer Rosemary Verey. There is also the excellent Village Pub which has a renowned restaurant. Cirencester, about four miles away, provides for daily shopping needs with two large supermarkets, including Waitrose, and an array of shops, pubs and restaurants. There are further facilities at Tetbury, Cheltenham and Oxford, all of which are within easy reach.
Communications in the area are good with access to the M4 at Junction 15 and the M5 at Junction 11a. There is also a fast train service from Kemble or Swindon Stations to London Paddington taking about eighty and sixty five minutes respectively.
There is a good range of both private and state schooling in the area including the Cheltenham Boys & Ladies Colleges, Beaudesert Park and Rendcomb School.
Description
Monk Bretton is an exceptional Grade II listed property which has been created from three original farm buildings: a hay barn, piggery and a farrowing shed, to form a house and annexe whilst retaining the potential to be re-instated into an outstanding family home, taking full advantage of its beautiful gardens and the delightful setting on the edge of the village.
The main house retains many of the original features including oak beams and a large fireplace in the open plan, double aspect drawing room/dining room whilst the bespoke kitchen has superb storage space and leads into the rear vegetable/herb garden. The ground floor accommodation is wonderfully light and spacious.
The annexe at Monk Bretton was formerly the piggery and has been created with picture windows to provide lovely views over the gardens. The accommodation has been designed with great care to take advantage of the original fabric of the building whilst providing all that one needs for everyday living.
In addition there are two adjoining single garages, a covered parking space and a garden store.
The property is approached from a small lane to a gravelled parking area providing ample parking for a number of cars with a wrought iron gate providing access to the main house and garden and a wooden gate to the annexe. The gardens were designed by the renowned garden designer Rosemary Verey in 1999 and offer an oasis of calm. The gardens lie to the south and west of the main house and have been planted with a double hornbeam hedge, with lawned areas and an array of flowering plants and shrubs. There is a three tiered pond through the middle of the gardens enhances the ambiance of the setting.
The gardens to the annexe have a paved pathway leading to the front door with an ornamental pond to one side and lawned area to the other and again have been planted with many plants and shrubs providing a profusion of colour throughout the seasons.
