4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Naunton, Cheltenham GL54

The accommodation has been thoughtfully configured to balance character with versatility. At its centre is the impressive kitchen/dining room, forming a natural focal point of the home. A classic country-style fitted kitchen opens into a generous dining area, originally designed to link the cottage with the barn to the rear. Glazed doors and large windows flood the space with natural light while creating a seamless connection to the courtyard garden, resulting in a highly sociable and inviting setting. The dining area flows through to a well-proportioned sitting room extending to over 28 ft, with views across the terrace, while a separate snug offers a more intimate and atmospheric retreat, ideal for quieter evenings.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are well proportioned and beautifully presented, each enjoying a peaceful outlook and excellent natural light. Dependant on requirements the versatile layout of four bedrooms and two bathrooms is perfect for guests to be separate or indeed to reconfigure to create a dressing room for the main bedroom.

Outside, the gardens are a standout feature. Impeccably landscaped, they comprise sweeping lawns, neatly clipped hedging and an attractive paved terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. A charming courtyard, enclosed by Cotswold stone walls and softened with climbing plants, provides a wonderfully private and sheltered space. A gravelled driveway offers ample parking for two to three vehicles.

The Old Bakehouse is located in the highly sought‐after village of Naunton, set within the Windrush Valley and designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village enjoys a thriving community atmosphere, with a parish church, public house, cricket club, boules court, children's playground and village hall. Naunton is perhaps best known for its iconic four‐gabled dovecote, positioned beside the River Windrush as it flows through the village.

The nearby market towns of Stow‐on‐the‐Wold and Bourton‐on‐the‐Water provide an excellent range of shopping, cultural and leisure amenities, including supermarkets, petrol stations, libraries, veterinary practices and independent specialist shops. Further afield are Cheltenham (12 miles), Burford (15 miles), Broadway (21 miles) and the acclaimed Daylesford Organic Farm Shop and Bamford Club (9 miles).

The area is particularly well regarded for schooling. Cheltenham offers an outstanding selection of independent schools, including Cheltenham College and Junior School, Cheltenham Ladies' College and Dean Close School. Kitebrook School in Moreton‐in‐Marsh is also highly sought after. State education is well catered for, with a primary school in Temple Guiting and Cold Aston and a highly regarded secondary school in Bourton‐on‐the‐Water.

Transport links are excellent, with access to the M5 (Junctions 10,11 and 11a) and the M40 (Junctions 8–11), providing routes to London, Heathrow Airport, the Midlands and the West Country. Rail services to London Paddington are available from Moreton‐in‐Marsh and Kingham.
