A Grade II listed, five-bedroom Cotswold stone farmhouse with a variety of outbuildings in about 10 acres.
Description
Situated on the edge of this charming hamlet in a wonderfully rural setting yet close to amenities and transport links is Pound Farmhouse, a stunning and traditional example of a Cotswold stone farmhouse. The house is set within mixed grounds of about 10.22 acres and has a variety of useful outbuildings, with many suitable for conversion, including a granary, stable block, cow byre and store. Externally there are also paddocks and well-established gardens including a small arboretum, plus a swimming pool. The property offers fantastic potential as a smallholding or for equestrian use, or there is good potential (subject to Listed Building and Planning Permissions) to extend the house or convert the outbuildings to office use.
This Grade ii-listed late 17th/early 18th century farmhouse is beautifully appointed and has a wealth of character features including fabulous exposed timber beams, stone flooring, expansive fireplaces and mullions. The house has been in the same ownership for more than three decades and is a much-loved family home, offering the next family the chance to enjoy its spacious reception rooms, vast grounds and far-reaching country views.
The current layout affords about 4500 sq ft of space across three floors, including a large dining room with wood-burning stove set within an inglenook fireplace; an equally well-proportioned drawing room; a south-facing conservatory; study/snug; an open plan kitchen/dining room for informal family meals and an adjoining utility room and WC. Upstairs the first floor has a principal bedroom with en suite and dressing room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the second floor has an additional two bedrooms, attic storage and a bathroom.
Pound Farmhouse is situated within about 10.22 acres comprising mature gardens, a walled courtyard, paddocks, a good-size gravel driveway, a duck pond and a small arboretum. Outbuildings include a partly-converted granary which has three garage bays and a first floor loft space, suitable for further development; an original stone stable block with five stables and shower for the pool; an animal byre used as a log store; and a stone storeroom. The outdoor swimming pool is set within the partly walled gardens, making it feel extremely private.
Location
Eastcourt is found on the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Oaksey and Crudwell are the nearest villages, both having primary schools and pubs including the award-winning Potting Shed in Crudwell. There is a village shop in Oaksey. The village is located almost equidistant from Tetbury, with its honeyed stone architecture and fashionable boutiques, and the ancient abbey town of Malmesbury to the southeast, which has a Waitrose supermarket.
Communications are excellent with the property being within daily travelling distance of the commercial centres of Swindon, Chippenham, Bath, Bristol, Gloucester and Cheltenham. There is a fast and regular train service to London Paddington from Kemble (70 mins) which is about five miles away.
Recreational and sporting facilities in the area include golf at Oaksey, Minchinhampton and Cirencester; water sports at the Cotswold Water Park; polo at Cirencester Park; and racing at Cheltenham, Bath and Newbury. There are theatres at Swindon, Oxford, Cheltenham and Bath as well as The Barn Theatre in Cirencester.
There are many highly regarded local primary and secondary schools in nearby Oaksey, Crudwell, Kemble, Malmesbury and Cirencester as well as a wide choice of well-known private schools within easy reach including Beaudesert, the Cheltenham colleges, Prior Park, Westonbirt, Rendcomb and Hatherop Castle.
Acreage:
10 Acres
