5 bedroom detached house for sale

Occupying a peaceful part of west Gloucestershire, a substantial period farmhouse with ancillary accommodation and private gardens, all within half an hour's drive of Cheltenham, Tewkesbury or Gloucester.

The house overlooks its plot and backs onto a quiet rural lane. Presented in excellent order, the principle property is arranged over three floors (plus a cellar) and extends to just over 5,500 square feet excluding the cottage which is 958 square feet in itself.

The accommodation is versatile, well-proportioned and retains a number of period features that include exposed stone, mullion windows and feature fireplaces as well as a fourth floor viewing turret.

Suitable for a variety of uses such as AirB&B or working from home, the cottage is a delightful one bedroom property with a private entrance and courtyard garden. Stairs from the front door lead up to the first floor where there is a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/living space.

The house, gardens and orchard are gated and enclosed, south facing and very private. Predominantly lawned, there are mature hedge, shrub and treelined boundaries that create a number of secluded seating areas and pockets of garden.

Adjacent to the driveway, there is a steel frame former agricultural building perfect for garaging or storage. The driveway has recently been re-dressed and provides private access to the house, cottage and barn (Google Earth is not an accurate reflection of the new driveway which is now private to Berrow Farm). The neighbouring equestrian unit (its usage restricted to equestrian by covenant) is accessed further up the lane and offers very convenient DIY livery if required.
