4 bed detached house for sale

Hidcote Boyce, Chipping Campden GL55

Constructed of classic Cotswold stone beneath a slate tiled roof, the property combines traditional character with a high specification interior. With generous proportions and light-filled rooms, it has been thoughtfully laid out to provide flexible accommodation ideal for family life, entertaining, and equestrian interests.

A welcoming entrance hall opens into the heart of the home: The kitchen/breakfast room, finished with oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a double Belfast sink. An electric Aga adds warmth and character. Two sets of French doors open directly onto the terrace, ensuring the kitchen flows naturally into the grounds. Adjacent is the utility room and a ground floor bedroom with ensuite – ideal for guests or multigenerational living. The main reception rooms includes a dual-aspect sitting room with bi-fold doors opening to the terrace and swimming pool, centred around a handsome stone fireplace with inset woodburning stove. A separate drawing room features an open fireplace and further French doors leading out onto the front terrace.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and views across the landscape, while two further bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom. A study area offers space for home working or reading.

Outside

The setting is truly exceptional. Situated on the edge of the escarpment and approached via automated oak gates, the property opens onto a large drive providing extensive parking and access to the garage. Terraces wrap around the house, offering several options for alfresco dining, with the heated swimming pool providing a central focal point during the summer months.

The land extends to 8.3 acres in all and includes mature woodland, paddocks, and a small orchard. The stable yard sits adjacent to the house, comprising three loose boxes, a forage barn, and open stall with water and power. The paddocks are divided by post-and-rail fencing into manageable parcels, ideal for private equestrian use. Beyond the stables lies a productive kitchen garden with greenhouse, and the drive continues through to a substantial timber-framed tractor barn discreetly positioned under mature trees – a recent and highly practical addition.

Situation

The property occupies a commanding rural position on the edge of Hidcote Boyce, a small hamlet in the north Cotswolds, which is quintessentially English and deeply evocative of the area's historic rural charm. The local market town of Chipping Campden is renowned for its honeyed stone buildings, artisan shops and excellent dining. The town offers a range of day today amenities, with nearby Moreton-in-Marsh and Stratford-upon-Avon providing broader facilities and mainline rail links to London.

The surrounding countryside provides excellent riding and walking, while local schooling includes both state and independent options within reach, such as Chipping Campden, Kitebrook, Kingham Hill and Bloxham. The area is well connected by road, with access to the M40 and M5, making it an ideal base for those seeking the best of country life without compromising connectivity.
