4 bedroom detached house to rent

Manor Farmhouse offers a light and spacious private family home on the Withington estate, with enclosed garden, double garage, set in a rural location with views of the surrounding countryside, and on the edge of a desirable village.

Manor Farmhouse is a modernised traditional farmhouse with vaulted ceilings, lots of living space and plenty of character, perfect for family living. Set in its own private grounds with electric gates and on the edge of a beautiful Cotswold stone village, it’s within striking distance of a traditional pub, has access to an equestrian livery yard (by separate arrangement) and is within easy reach of both Cirencester and Cheltenham.

Internally, the house has a large modern open plan kitchen/diner/sunroom with electric Aga, larder and laundry room. Off the sunroom there’s a boot and dog room with separate washroom and plenty of space with access to outside. The large drawing room has a vaulted ceiling, a fireplace with wood burning stove and doors leading out to the garden. The two further reception rooms are of generous proportions, one of which is currently used as a playroom, but are flexible depending on individual requirements. In addition, there is also a large downstairs cloakroom and good size office/storage room. The hallway leads to the stairs and also opens onto the sheltered patio area perfect for outdoor entertaining.

The stairs lead to the first floor where there are four good size bedrooms. The large master bedroom and the larger second bedroom both have vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers. The principal bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom. There are two further good size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, with an additional shower room off the landing.

The property sits within secure grounds with electric gates and driveway leading to the double garage with electric car charging unit and plenty of outside parking. The garden wraps round three sides of the house and is mostly laid to lawn with areas left for wildflowers along with a small vegetable patch. The patio sits within the ‘horseshoe’ shape of the back of the house with lovely views of the church and countryside.

By separate negotiation there may be an option to access the neighbouring equine facilities.
