We currently have four listings, all of which require restoration: Freeland House, The Vicarage, 34 Eastleach, and Woodside Cottage in Stroud.

Taking on your own restoration project offers numerous benefits. The four homes we have available, while each unique, share the common feature of being prominently located in the village, a rarity in the market. These homes possess significant historical value and originality. For many, the process of restoring a home to its former glory and preserving its key architectural features is a deeply satisfying experience. Often, these properties have been in the same family for multiple generations, providing a unique opportunity to get creative and customise the space to meet your specific needs.

Freeland House, Westwell, Burford - £2,950,000

Dating back from the early 18th century, and remodelled in the mid-19th century, Freeland House is an imposing Grade II Listed village house approached through stone pillars and a sweeping gravel driveway. In addition to the main house, Alexander’s cottage is a spacious detached period stone cottage with two double bedrooms and excellent living accommodation arranged over two floors.

Here, there is the opportunity for buyers to update the interiors of the main house to their specification and create a superb property suited to both family living and more formal entertaining.

Freeland House is an ideal Cotswold residence, set in an idyllic position. Located in the heart of this prestigious village, the property also offers 8.44 acres of paddocks, a barn housing two stables, a tack room, and further storage, as well as a tennis court.

The Vicarage, Packhorse Lane, Bibury - £1,000,000

Originating from the 19th Century with a later extension. The Vicarage occupies an elevated position with views to the church on the edge of this immensely popular and desirable village. Constructed of Cotswold stone under a Cotswold stone tiled roof. The property, although recently inhabited, is now in need of updating throughout.

To acquire a property with such charm, in this prime village location, surrounded by three sides of charming mature lawned gardens, is truly a rare prospect.

Woodside Cottage, Stroud - £925,000

This traditional Cotswold village house offers enormous potential for the new owner to now remodel, extend, and finish to their standard. Recent planning permission now allows for an extension and reconfiguration of the existing layout to provide a beautifully appointed living space. This charming house is constructed of traditional Cotswold stone with original mullion windows, shutters, and some exposed beams in the oldest part of the house.

Set in just under an acre with a south-westerly aspect, Woodside Cottage overlooks its own grounds with views over the village and countryside beyond. The cottage also has brilliant access to glorious countryside walks. It’s truly a special setting!

34, Eastlech

Situated in an elevated position in the heart of Eastleach, 34 is a semi-detached period cottage built in 1875. The cottage benefits from open fireplaces, a pretty outlook, and an additional outbuilding/ old washhouse. It requires updating, but offers great potential to create an idyllic village home.

While we are finding certain buyers somewhat reluctant to take on a project, these properties pose an increasingly rare opportunity to snap up a prime Cotswold home whilst offering you the opportunity to finish your home, exactly how you envisioned.
