6 bed detached house for sale

Farmington, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL54

Crofton House is arranged around a fully enclosed courtyard, creating a level of privacy rarely found in Cotswold village houses. The property combines a fully upgraded main house with a separate lodge, offering genuine flexibility for guest accommodation, income, or multigenerational living. Set in the quieter village of Farmington, it provides a private, self-contained living environment without requiring a large estate setting.
The principal rooms are arranged around and open on to the courtyard, creating a natural connection between inside and outside. The kitchen combines an electric aga with a separate induction hob and convection oven. The adjoining breakfast room, with full-height oak-framed windows rising to the roofline, is one of the most distinctive spaces in the house. The property has been comprehensively upgraded with an all-electric system and air source heat pumps serving both the main house and the lodge independently.
The first floor provides a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom (electric underfloor heating), a guest bedroom with an en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms, and a family bathroom.
Above the breakfast room, a wide west-facing galleried landing catches afternoon light and currently serves as an additional sitting or study area.
A substantial attic offers potential for up to two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, with heating and plumbing already installed, subject to the usual consents.

The Lodge is a fully independent two-bedroom property with its own entrance, heating system, and services. Recently upgraded throughout with an air source heat pump and underfloor heating, it is capable of functioning as a standalone residence.
It is equally suited to guest accommodation, multi-generational living, or income generation through short-term or long-term letting. A stone garage is attached.
