Description

Upper Coberley Farm has a well-connected setting close to both Cheltenham and Cirencester, yet is immersed in the rolling hills and valleys of the countryside in between the two iconic Cotswolds towns, in a highly coveted position. This substantial detached home was original constructed in the early 1800s and was subject to extensive extension and complete renovation by the current owners over their 20 year ownership. This gives the house a wonderful mix of modern conveniences such as underfloor heating, modern glazing and heating systems, but also preserves the character and charm of the old house with features such as stone fireplaces and exposed beams. The property is set within charming formal gardens with outstanding views over the Cotswold Hills. The land and outbuildings continue up the hill to the rear and are well suited to equestrian use or as a smallholding.\r
The house is beautifully presented with modern fixtures and fittings and the décor is elegant and neutral. An inviting reception hall opens to the two formal reception rooms at the front of the original house and onwards to the stunning kitchen/dining/living room. This has bespoke cabinetry and impressive AGA – the stalwart of any country kitchen. The kitchen is light and airy with tall French windows and roof lights flooding the interior spaces with natural light. The room serves as the heart of the family home and opens to the garden terrace, a snug, study and a boot room with access to a laundry room and cloakroom with WC. There is a useful cellar for storage. Upstairs there is a fabulous principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite shower room, plus five further bedrooms (two en suite) and a bathroom.

Outside

Upper Coberley Farm is situated in a splendid position within the Cotswold Hills AONB, surrounded by rolling countryside with grassland, arable farmland and woodland in view. The property itself is set within about 20 acres of grassland, and is well suited to equestrian use, offering a selection of paddocks for grazing, stabling and a tack room, as well as an all-weather rubber and fibre surface arena and the provision of excellent hacking on the doorstep, on country lanes, bridlepaths and headlands. The area is renowned for its equestrian pursuits and locally there are many training and competition venues, both affiliated and unaffiliated, including Calmsden Horse Trials (BE), Hunters Equestrian (BD) and Rectory Farm (BSJA), as well as venues for the increasingly popular Cotswold Cup series. \r
In addition to its excellent equestrian facilities, which would also be suitable for a smallholding, the property benefits from garaging, a car port and a detached stone barn, with a useful space above the garage currently utilised as a home office/gym. There is current planning permission for the conversion of the outbuilding into holiday accommodation.\r
The generous gravel driveway provides extensive private parking while to the side and rear of the house there are attractive lawned gardens dotted with mature trees, a profitable kitchen garden and a lovely terrace for alfresco dining in the warmer months.
