This period detached property presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a renovation project with significant investment potential. Set within approximately 0.75 acres of picturesque grounds, this Grade II listed home, known as Manor Farm House, is located in the desirable village of Westmancote. While the property boasts character and historic charm, it is in need of a comprehensive modernisation plan to unlock its full potential.
Current owners have engaged award-winning architects Coombs Everitt to create a thoughtful design that honors the home’s heritage while incorporating a modern extension. Planning permission has already been granted for a double-storey addition at the rear, allowing for an expanded living space that will enhance both functionality and natural light throughout the property. This extension is thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly into the existing gardens, offering an open-plan kitchen, breakfast area, and family room that connects directly to outdoor terraces.
The proposed renovations include a layout that caters to contemporary family living, featuring dedicated areas such as a drawing room, separate sitting room, study, and formal dining room. Additionally, plans call for five bedrooms on the upper floor, including a principal suite equipped with its own walk-in wardrobe and en suite facilities. There is also potential for two extra bedrooms in the attic space with necessary consents.
The exterior space offers ample opportunity for landscaping or creating personal outdoor features according to owner preferences. A triple oak garage is proposed at one side of the plot upon entry, complete with storage space and an upper void that could serve various purposes like a home office or gym—subject to obtaining appropriate permissions.
Situated near Westmancote's charming village amenities—including local shops and public houses—this property also benefits from its proximity to Tewkesbury (4 miles) and Cheltenham (11 miles). The surrounding countryside enhances this location further as it sits within both a Conservation area and the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With excellent transport links nearby—including Junction 9 of the M5 motorway just 6 miles away—this property not only provides serene rural living but also convenient access to urban centers.
For those looking to invest in a property ripe for transformation in an idyllic setting, Manor Farm House represents an exceptional opportunity backed by planning approval and professional architectural design ready to bring your vision to life.
