4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Old Dowmans Farm, Coberley GL53

A beautiful family home of exceptional charm, quality and character, enjoying glorious countryside views within a sought-after village setting and offered with no onward chain.

Set amidst the rolling countryside of Coberley village, Old Cart Barn is a stunning barn conversion forming part of an exclusive development of just seven Cotswold stone homes. Formerly barns belonging to the neighbouring farm, the properties were thoughtfully converted just four years ago, combining the charm of traditional architecture with the comfort and efficiency of a modern home.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors. The ground floor offers a superb open-plan living space with underfloor heating throughout. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of fitted units, Quartz worktops and integrated appliances, centered around a generous breakfast island with seating. This area flows seamlessly into the dining and sitting space, creating a wonderful social environment with doors opening directly onto the front garden, providing an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A cloakroom and utility room complete the ground floor.

A striking oak and glass staircase leads to the first floor, where an open-plan landing provides an ideal study or office area. The principal bedroom occupies a large portion of this level and features a dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. Bedroom two also benefits from an en-suite shower room, and both rooms enjoy wonderful countryside views.

The second floor offers two further attractive bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities and vaulted ceilings with partially exposed timber beams. Notably, all bathrooms throughout the property benefit from underfloor heating.

Externally

Approached via a quiet country lane surrounded by open countryside, the property immediately conveys a sense of peaceful rural retreat. A driveway leads to a block-paved parking area providing space for three vehicles.

A pedestrian gate opens into the landscaped, west-facing garden. Positioned to the front of the property, the gardens enjoy wonderful open views across the surrounding countryside. The outdoor space includes a paved terrace for seating and two lawned areas, bordered by laurel hedging and fencing. Designed with low maintenance in mind, the garden is ideal for those seeking a Cotswolds retreat with minimal upkeep.
