An exceptional contemporary house in a renowned market town.
Gateacre House offers the rare opportunity to purchase a contemporary Cotswold home located in Stow-on-the-Wold.

The staircase leads down to the heart of the home on the lower ground floor, a wonderful open plan kitchen/sitting/dining room with high ceilings and large glass doors which open to the decked terrace running the length of the rear elevation. A centrally placed double-sided gas fire acts as an elegant and functional room divider and draws attention to the height of the space.
