A beautifully presented three-bedroom Grade II listed converted coach house, enjoying an exceptionally private & tranquil setting
The Coach House is a beautifully presented period stone residence, discreetly positioned within the prestigious Filkins Hall estate. Originally forming part of the estate’s stable block and coach house, the buildings were sympathetically converted into three individual residences during the 1980s, creating a unique collection of characterful homes steeped in history. Blending timeless architectural charm with contemporary comfort, this exceptional home offers versatile accommodation arranged over four floors and is rich in period features, including vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and original stonework. The current owners have thoughtfully and sympathetically enhanced the property throughout, resulting in a beautifully finished turnkey home that effortlessly combines historic character with modern practicality. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a well-appointed kitchen and a spacious dining room with open fireplace with direct access to the rear garden, providing an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. On the first floor, a bright and airy reception room enjoys an attractive mezzanine level overlooking the garden with open fireplace, complemented by a family bathroom. The second floor offers a generous double bedroom and a further single bedroom, both featuring distinctive porthole windows with delightful views across the garden, communal grounds and surrounding countryside, together with a stylish shower room. Occupying the top floor, the impressive principal bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, countryside views and access to extensive storage. Externally, the property is enhanced by a beautifully landscaped south-facing garden, ideal for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining, with gated access leading directly onto the communal grounds. A gravel driveway provides ample private parking. Residents of Filkins Hall also enjoy the benefit of extensive, well-maintained communal grounds, including formal gardens and an exclusive residents’ tennis court, all set within a picturesque Cotswold environment.
SERVICES
£740 per annum (currently paid £185 per quarter), contributing towards the maintenance and upkeep of the communal grounds and shared facilities.
