5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Newtown, Wotton-Under-Edge GL12

Full Description

A truly hidden gem. A deceptively spacious five-bedroom home dating back to 1851, set on a private lane and tucked away in its own peaceful oasis, yet within easy reach of everything a modern family could wish for.

Situated on one of the oldest lanes in the village, 9 Newtown is a beautifully restored period cottage that seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary design, efficiency, and comfort. Originally formed from two cottages, the property has been thoughtfully transformed by its current owners with two substantial rear extensions, creating an exceptional family home while preserving its original character.

Behind its charming cottage façade lies just over 2,000 square feet of intelligently designed living space. The home offers five generous double bedrooms, multiple reception areas for entertaining, and a spectacular open-plan kitchen extension with vaulted 16-foot ceilings. Designed as a true forever home, every element has been carefully considered for modern family life.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, an entertainer’s dream featuring a two-metre island, Farrow & Ball painted cabinetry, granite worktops, walk-in pantry and a cosy snug area for relaxed gatherings. Flooded with natural light from Velux windows and framed by bi-folding doors opening onto the garden, the space flows effortlessly between indoors and out. Regulated underfloor heating beneath limestone flooring runs throughout the house, delivering year-round comfort and efficiency.

Additional highlights include a dedicated home office with its own external entrance, ideal for professional remote working, a full-size utility room, and a generous boot room with shower room - perfect for dogs, children and countryside living. The elegant sitting room retains original beams and underfloor heating, combining period character with modern comfort.

Set on a private no-through lane with views towards the Cotswolds, the property enjoys a rare sense of seclusion and safety. Charfield playing fields sit just beyond the garden hedge, creating a natural extension of your outdoor space and a ready-made playground for children. The home is a five-minute walk or 5 minute drive to several outstanding primary schools and falls within the catchment of Katherine Lady Berkeley’s School, one of the South West’s most highly regarded secondary schools.

Outside, the property benefits from both front and rear gardens, parking for up to six vehicles, and a double-skinned double garage with 80A power supply, alarm and CCTV. Sustainability and future-proofing are fully integrated with solar panels and battery storage, a 7kW Zappi EV charger, and an outdoor hot tap - ideal after muddy walks in the countryside.

Newtown’s prime location offers exceptional connectivity, with easy access to Bristol, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Bath, five minutes to the M5, and 15 minutes to the M4 for London. Southmead Hospital and Filton aerospace and defence hubs are just 25 minutes away. Adding further appeal, Charfield’s new railway station is due to open in 2027, placing direct city connections just a three-minute walk from your door.

Lovingly restored as a forever home, the owners are now relocating to Canada, creating a rare opportunity to acquire this exceptional property. All appliances may be included and the sale is offered with no onward chain.

Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the scale, quality and lifestyle this outstanding home provides.
