Thought to date from the 17th century, Dowmans Farm is a quintessential Cotswold stone farm house. Having undergone a significant programme of works by the current vendors, the property now shows to an exemplary standard with stylish interiors, beautiful original features and sympathetic design.

The farm house enjoys a plethora of spacious reception rooms, not least the sitting room with a beautiful inglenook fireplace and an inset log burning stove with exposed ceiling joists. The formal drawing room is equally as impressive: with oak flooring and overhead beams it leads to a study and a separate library. The country-style kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units, integrated appliances, AGA and has generous dining space. Doors open to a versatile family room together with a useful boot room which has a pedestrian door opening to the side.
