Set amid the picturesque countryside of the North Cotswolds, Windrush House is a charming, meticulously renovated country home built of traditional Cotswold stone. Originally built around 1843 and expanded over time, the property combines its historic character with a warm, contemporary living experience.
The house offers a total of approximately 2,200 sq ft (approx. 204 m²) of living space, including the separate guest annex. Exposed wooden beams, traditional wooden doors, and imposing natural stone fireplaces preserve the house’s original character, while light colors and natural materials create an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting.
On the ground floor, the spacious living area, with its striking natural stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, forms the heart of the home. French doors open the space directly onto the garden, creating a harmonious connection between the interior and exterior. A separate snug with another natural stone fireplace and wood-burning stove offers a cozy retreat for quieter evenings.
On the opposite side of the house is the spacious kitchen with a dining area. Shaker-style cabinet fronts, light-colored natural stone countertops, traditional stone floors, and a range cooker emphasize the timeless country-house character. Windows on two sides offer views of the garden, while a built-in bench creates a relaxed dining area. A practical boat room with additional storage space and a guest restroom complete this floor.
The upper floor features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has built-in closets and an en suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower, and two sinks. Two additional bedrooms and a high-end family shower room complete the floor. Exposed beams and deep-set windows consistently carry forward the historic character of the house here as well.
A separate outbuilding constructed of Cotswold stone has been converted into a fully self-contained guest annexe measuring approximately 283 sq ft (approx. 26 m²). It features a combined kitchen and living area, a bedroom with built-in closets, and an en-suite shower room. This makes it ideal for guests, older children, or as a private home office.
The spacious, fully enclosed gardens surround the house and feature lawns, mature landscaping, and several terraces for outdoor dining. Traditional Cotswold stone walls frame the property and emphasize the estate’s distinctive character. A large gravel driveway and parking area provides space for about six to eight vehicles.
Windrush House combines historic Cotswold charm with contemporary living comfort, spacious outdoor areas, and an exceptionally attractive location in the heart of the English countryside.
