Description

This Grade II listed townhouse represents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment within the vibrant market town of Stow-on-the-Wold. Dating back to the eighteenth century, the property boasts a distinctive architectural character, positioned prominently overlooking the Market Square. Spanning three floors, this residence encompasses five bedrooms, two spacious reception rooms, a family bathroom, and an additional shower room. Notably, part of the ground floor has been previously utilized for retail purposes as an antique shop. This configuration creates unique possibilities for reimagining the space; potential exists to relocate the kitchen from its current first-floor location back to the ground level, while also integrating an adjacent workshop into the main living area—subject to necessary planning approvals. The garden located at the rear of the townhouse is primarily laid to lawn, offering an outdoor space that could be transformed into a delightful retreat with thoughtful landscaping and design. Additionally included is a detached stone coach house situated at the rear of the property. Accessible via Parsons Corner, this coach house features parking in front and presents further development potential under appropriate planning conditions. However, it’s important to note that there is no direct access between The Elms and the coach house. Stow-on-the-Wold itself provides a rich tapestry of amenities including local shops, cafes, educational institutions such as a primary school and The Cotswold School in nearby Bourton-on-the-Water. The area is well-connected by roadways and public transport options, with mainline railway stations at Moreton-in-Marsh and Kingham facilitating travel to London Paddington and other major cities. Nestled within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, residents can enjoy a range of cultural events throughout the year—from renowned festivals like Cheltenham Literature Festival to various local concerts and theatrical productions. This combination of historical charm and modern potential makes The Elms an appealing prospect for those seeking to create their ideal home or invest in a burgeoning market. In total, this property offers approximately 3,574 sq ft of living space, allowing for creative renovations that can reflect both contemporary needs and respect historic details. Viewing is available strictly by appointment.
