This Grade II listed village house, known as Home Farm Cottage, is situated in the picturesque conservation area of one of the Cotswolds' most desirable villages. Dating back to the 18th century with later enhancements, this property offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment.
Upon entering through a wooden front door, you will find a welcoming entrance hall that leads into a cozy sitting room featuring an inglenook fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove. The room is filled with character, showcasing flagstone flooring and built-in cupboards flanking the fireplace. Adjacent to the sitting room is a dual-aspect dining area that flows into the kitchen/breakfast room, which boasts ample storage with its extensive range of wall and floor units. This space also includes exposed stone walls and ceiling timbers, contributing to its charm. A staircase ascends to a mezzanine study area characterized by vaulted ceilings and exposed rafters, offering potential for further transformation.
The upper levels contain three bedrooms, including a principal suite on the second floor with vaulted ceilings and eaves storage. The en-suite bathroom features both a shower cubicle and generous space for relaxation.
Outside, the garden is walled with Cotswold stone and includes various sections of gravel and lawn punctuated by specimen shrubs. A substantial outbuilding at the rear provides great potential for conversion into additional living space or a home office, subject to necessary approvals. Currently divided into two sections, one half has been transformed into a spacious bedroom/study equipped with basic amenities such as a toilet and basin; the other remains an open stone barn that benefits from full planning permission for use as ancillary accommodation or as a holiday let—an enticing prospect for generating rental income.
Located in Upper Slaughter within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this property not only offers tranquility but also proximity to local amenities in Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold.
