Originally serving as the lodge to Dowdeswell Court, this exceptional property has been sympathetically extended and transformed into a truly remarkable home — blending heritage character with striking contemporary design to create an elegant, light-filled residence in an incredibly peaceful setting on the edge of the Cotswolds.
Set within beautifully landscaped gardens and featuring its own private wooded area, The Lodge enjoys a rare sense of tranquillity and seclusion, while remaining just a short drive from Cheltenham and nearby transport links. The property’s design cleverly combines the warmth and charm of the original listed stone structure with a stunning modern extension built in stone and glass, maximising space, light, and connectivity to the outdoors.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the principal suite, which occupies a breathtaking position within the extension — showcasing floor-to-ceiling glass to two aspects, offering panoramic views over the gardens and woodlands, and flooding the space with natural light. It’s a private retreat like no other, blending luxury, serenity, and architectural flair.
The rest of the accommodation continues to impress, with generous and versatile living spaces, including a cosy sitting room, a stylish and functional kitchen, and flowing open-plan areas designed for both day-to-day living and entertaining. The use of glass and thoughtful layout encourages a true sense of indoor-outdoor living, further enhanced by easy access to patios, gardens, and nature beyond.
Further features include double glazing, lpg-fired central heating, and a private driveway providing ample parking alongside outbuildings/garaging. The rear garden is fully landscaped, with mature planting, seating areas, and views into the property’s own peaceful woodland.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique home in a spectacular countryside setting, offering the perfect blend of historic charm, contemporary luxury, and architectural distinction. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate everything The Lodge has to offer.
