About this property

  • Camperdown Farm Cottage is a charming Grade II listed property which dates back to 1630 with later additions and is constructed of Cotswold stone with a limestone ashlar front elevation. Internally the property offers a great deal of character including an inglenook fireplace with bread oven in the sitting room, exposed timbers and leaded light windows. The current owner bought the property in 2020 and has overseen a programme of improvement including the restoration of the windows, maintenance of the lime pointing, the installation of a new kitchen and bathroom and an overhaul of the electrics and plumbing.

    The sitting room is a wonderful place to relax or entertain with views over both the front and back gardens. Open to the sitting room is a dining/study area with a hatch to the kitchen. The bespoke kitchen has been designed to maximise the space whilst complementing the character and history of the property. A staircase rises from the hall to a galleried landing which provides access to three excellent bedrooms and the family bathroom.
    Camperdown Farm Cottage offers mature gardens comprising lawns and mature shrubs and trees to the front and rear. A driveway lies to the north side of the property and provides parking for several cars. There is a good sized garage which is attached to the property and provides great potential for conversion to further living accommodation subject to the usual consents. A special feature of the garden is the charming shepherd's hut which would be a perfect home office, art studio, snug or reading nook.
