About this property

  • Thought to date from the 17th century, Dowmans Farm is a quintessential Cotswold stone farm house.

    Entered by way of a traditional reception hall, the light and airy accommodation is set over two floors and equates to 4,491 sq. ft of living space. The farm house enjoys a plethora of spacious reception rooms, not least the sitting room with a beautiful inglenook fireplace and an inset log burning stove with exposed ceiling joists. The formal drawing room is equally as impressive: with oak flooring and overhead beams it leads to a study and a separate library. The country-style kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units, integrated appliances, AGA and has generous dining space. Doors open to a versatile family room together with a useful boot room which has a pedestrian door opening to the side.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying far-reaching countryside views, it is served by a highly stylish en suite, fitted with a free standing bath and a walk-in double shower. In addition there is a walk-in dressing room with plentiful storage and hanging rails. All bedrooms are in excellent decorative order with vaulted ceilings and pleasant rural views.

    The gardens are a fabulous extension of the property: in all totalling 2.68 acres (to include a mixture of formal gardens and paddocks). Accessed via secure wooden gates, the stoned-drive sweeps to the principal entrance, stables and stone outbuildings. Laid to a manicured lawn interspersed with herbaceous beds, established borders, mature trees, shrubs and plants.
