6 bedroom farm for sale

Windrush Farm enjoys a peaceful rural setting with stunning Cotswold views, close to the villages of Cold Aston and Bourton-on-the-Water. Converted from a classic Cotswold barn in 2002, the property has been more recently refurbished, the property now offers nearly 4,500 sq ft of wonderfully light and versatile living space. A well-appointed entrance hall with a WC leads into the impressive vaulted reception room with double height window overlooking the paddock to the front, also featuring a galleried landing and a wood-burning stove. The formal dining room at the rear enjoys beautiful garden views, while a cosy sitting room with a woodburner and stone fireplace provides an intimate retreat. The kitchen/breakfast room, positioned alongside the main reception space, also benefits from lovely views. A generous utility room offers access to both the front and rear of the property, leading to a boiler room, lobby, and farm office. A separate wing of the barn has been converted into a spacious ground-floor bedroom suite with an additional reception room and mezzanine, ideal for use as a guest suite, games room, or entertaining space. Two staircases provide access to the first floor, where the principal suite is accompanied by three further bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a family bathroom. Additionally, an attached self-contained cottage offers a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom- currently occupied by farm staff which is ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Windrush Farm is approached via a private drive, with ample parking at the front overlooking the paddock. The south-facing rear garden features a terrace, lawn, vegetable garden, and mature trees and shrubs, all set against breathtaking farmland views. The drive leads past the main house into a gated outer yard providing access to the cottage and the triple oak-framed garage, designed to accommodate long classic cars. The farmyard is accessed beyond a second set of wooden gates and is ideally equipped for a small agricultural enterprise or for easy conversion to equestrian use. On the North side is a subdivided barn with a workshop, storage, and space for machinery, livestock, or vehicles, and to the South, a modern steel-framed barn – extended just 10 years ago, currently housing the owner's flock of prize-winning sheep. This barn has solar pv providing power for the house and a separate source of income from the National Grid. The property is ideally situated for easy access to both local village amenities and the larger towns of Cheltenham and Cirencester.
