5 bedroom house

The village of Cowley is located between Cheltenham and Cirencester with main attractions to the village including Cowley Manor which was owned by the Horlicks family and is currently being used as a country hotel with villagers benefiting from reduced membership to the health spa and swimming pool. The local parish church of St. Mary lies next to the Manor and dates from the 12th Century whilst the village pub is The Green Dragon. For major shops, both Cheltenham and Cirencester are about 15 to 20 minutes away. This impressive Barn conversion sits on the outskirts of the village and has superb views in all directions

With exposed stone walls, a log burning fireplace plus a tiled floor benefiting from underfloor heating, one can be forgiven for missing the view of the garden through the full length glazed French doors at the head of the room.

Of the reception rooms on the ground floor, there are three which are described as; the living room which is full of character and enjoys exposed stonework, beams and a log fire inset to the chimney breast.

The room also enjoys double aspect windows, which certainly make the most of the views the home affords, a tiled floor, French doors leading to the side terrace with a circular Garden Pod. An additional door leads to the utility room, cloakroom, and integral double garage.

Moving upstairs, the galleried landing leads to all the property`s bedrooms, of which all are double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from double aspect windows plus a roof window, providing the room with additional natural light. Further features of the room include a walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom which enjoys a separate shower as well.

Of the remaining rooms, bedrooms two and three enjoy fitted wardrobes whilst three of the rooms enjoy en-suite shower rooms and the final room enjoys an en suite bathroom. Bedroom three which is located to the rear of the property, enjoys a full-length half height glazed wall, and so enjoys wonderful views over the garden and the fields behind.

Stepping outside, the main garden is located directly behind the property and is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed within natural stone walling. To either side of the garden, five bar gates give access to the individual paddocks, both of which have gated access off the lane the property sits along.
Individually the paddocks measure circa 0.85 acre with the second paddock being slightly smaller at circa 0.75 acre. The smaller paddock has an outbuilding which is currently used for undercover storage, but one would suggest that this could be converted to stabling, tack room and feed store, should the need be there and planning permission obtained.
