The Property

A beautiful Grade II Listed house in the centre of this sought after Cotswold village community, dating from the mid–late 18th century and originally three weavers’ cottages. France Corner offers generous accommodation measuring 4128 sq. ft with retained period features throughout. Having been a much-loved family home for many years, this pretty home now requires refurbishment throughout, including a full re-roof (quote available upon request).

Versatile family accommodation is arranged over three floors, including a kitchen/breakfast room, three charming reception rooms drenched in period features, six bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms and a large home office with external staircase, all of which offer flexibility for a range of uses including working from home or multi-generational living.

Set within just over one-third of an acre in total. The gardens are a particular feature of this home. Hidden behind a high Cotswold stone wall, the gardens offer a great feeling of privacy. Landscaped to include lawns, mature trees and established planting there is room for children to play and great opportunity for the green fingered. A gravel driveway provides parking and leads to a detached outbuilding used for storage. Further Cotswold stone outbuildings within the garden provide additional storage, or potential, subject to listed building consent. The neighbouring cottage, Fernleigh, has a right of way over the driveway.

There are lawned areas with planted borders, along with a flagstone patio next to the house that can be used for outdoor dining. Additional features include a pond and a detached Cotswold stone outbuilding with a flagstone floor and exposed timber beams. It is currently used for storage but could be adapted for other uses, subject to the necessary consents.
