Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is something else, so where do we even begin? Set between Stow and Cheltenham, it’s nestled to the edge of a wooded Cotswolds hamlet with beautiful views of surrounding greenery and grassland. Part of an estate (with a wonderful on-site pantry/cafe that serves excellent coffee), you have access to tennis courts, tranquil gardens, and a children's playground. Even though it’s an old historic property (antique lovers rejoice), it also has plenty of modern comforts like a hot tub, games room, and a secret cinema. Full of charm, it’s a characterful home that’s just waiting to be explored.
