5 bed detached house to rent

Marshmouth Lane, Bourton-On-The-Water, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL54

An impressive Farmhouse set in an idyllic position.

Description
Marsh Farm is an elegant Georgian style farmhouse complemented by a superb contemporary extension, set along Marshmouth Lane on the edge of Bourton on the Water. Approached via a long, gravelled driveway, the property enjoys an attractive arrival and a wonderful sense of privacy.

As you enter the property, you are greeted by a welcoming reception hall centred around a beautifully crafted staircase that sets the tone for the accommodation. The original part of the house offers three well proportioned reception rooms, arranged with interconnecting doors and currently used as an office and two sitting rooms, each benefitting from views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Continuing through the house, you enter the impressive modern extension, where a large open plan kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home. This space benefits from floor to ceiling sliding doors that lead directly onto the terrace, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living and making it ideal for alfresco dining. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a discreet walk in pantry.

Beyond this lies a generous boot room and utility room, thoughtfully designed for practical use with ample storage for outdoor wear. At the far end, there is a further reception room, offering a fantastic entertaining space or an excellent secondary living room.

The first floor is well balanced including a principal bedroom suite with views over the garden, along with two additional bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The top floor, set within the eaves, offers two further generous bedrooms, both with dual aspect windows. A second family bathroom completes this level, making it ideal for guests, older children, or multi generational living.

The grounds are a particular highlight. The manicured gardens wrap around the house, providing a series of outdoor spaces for relaxation and recreation. A plunge pool offers a refreshing retreat in the warmer months, while the tennis court provides excellent sporting facilities within the privacy of the property’s own land. The setting is peaceful and rural, yet the amenities of Bourton on the Water remain easily accessible.

The combination of period charm and contemporary design ensures Marsh Farm presents an exceptional opportunity to rent a Cotswold home in an idyllic setting.
