The Property

Tucked away at the end of a no-through lane and surrounded by rolling farmland, Stokenhill Farmhouse is a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning detached Grade II Listed farmhouse of immense character. Enjoying breathtaking panoramic views across the Cotswold landscape, this enchanting home dates back to 1685 and is steeped in history, retaining a wealth of original period features that have been thoughtfully enhanced and modernised by the current owners. Set within 3.8 acres of beautiful gardens and paddock, the property offers flexible living options ideal for multi-generational families, those working from home, or welcoming guests in style. Accessed via a charming and original planked front door beneath a gabled porch—or more commonly through the practical rear boot room—the main farmhouse unfolds across three spacious floors, with the additional benefit of a cellar. At the front of the house, two elegant reception rooms enjoy double aspect mullioned windows that frame stunning rural views. The formal sitting room centres around an exquisite stone fireplace with arched smoke outlets, while the impressive dining room features wide timber floorboards and a wood-burning stove set into a handsome fireplace. To the rear, the bespoke family kitchen offers a welcoming and functional space. Extended by the current owners, it accommodates relaxed dining and enjoys natural light through full-length mullioned windows overlooking the side garden. A hand-crafted stone canopy with built-in extractor sits above the range cooker, while timber floors and a cast iron radiator add warmth and character. The adjacent boot room and cloakroom enhance day-to-day practicality. Upstairs, the first floor offers two exceptionally generous double bedrooms, each with charming mullioned windows and captivating countryside outlooks. One room showcases exposed timbers, and a small study tucked just off the landing offers a quiet retreat with a framed view across the landscape through a porthole window. A traditional family bathroom with a roll-top freestanding bath completes the floor. The top floor is home to two further attic bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings and striking A-frame beams. These rooms are also beautifully proportioned and share a well-appointed shower room with modern fittings and vanity storage. Positioned at the northern boundary of the grounds, a characterful detached one-bedroom cottage offers excellent self-contained accommodation. With a sitting room and kitchen on the ground floor, and a bedroom and bathroom above, it provides a private space for guests or a superb home office setup. Complementing the cottage is a recently constructed annexe known as The Byre, designed to echo the original farmhouse outbuilding with its sloping roofline, traditional Cotswold stone and oak features. Inside, a spacious open-plan living area is bathed in natural light from extensive rooflights and two sets of oak-framed French doors. Herringbone flooring flows throughout, leading to a sleek contemporary kitchen and into a generous bedroom suite complete with built-in wardrobes, a luxurious bathroom and additional storage room. A utility area connects to a large store which in turn links to a double garage, all with oak doors. The Byre is efficiently heated by an air source heat pump. Outside, a raised paved terrace adjoining the annexe provides the ideal space for outdoor dining while taking in the far-reaching views.

Additional Agents’ Information: The main farmhouse and cottage is heated by oil. The range uses bottled gas. The property is served by a shared septic tank which is located within the grounds of Stokenhill Farmhouse. They are responsible for half the costs of renewing, repairing and emptying the tank. The property has a formal right of way over a privately owned lane leading to the five-bar gate. Stokenhill is responsible for contributing one third of the cost in maintaining this roadway. Ofcom information – Ultrafast broadband available with Gigaclear and Openreach. Indoor mobile phone signal likely with EE and Three.

Outside

Set amidst approximately 3.8 acres of beautiful gardens and grounds, Stokenhill Farmhouse is a charming countryside residence offering privacy, space, and stunning views. The property is approached via a single-track no-through lane from the village of Whiteshill, this leads onto a privately owned lane, over which Stokenhill Farmhouse benefits from vehicular access and is required to contribute towards its ongoing maintenance. A traditional fivebar gate opens onto a tarmac driveway, which continues to a generous gravelled forecourt—providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. The gardens are thoughtfully arranged into two distinct areas. Enclosed by a low-level Cotswold stone wall, the upper garden features mature flower beds, a large lawn ideal for children to play, and a patio area perfect for al fresco dining. This area wraps around the front and side of the farmhouse, creating a welcoming and picturesque setting. An old stone privy sits in the far corner—an original feature, albeit in need of restoration. Below lies a further lawned terrace. From this lower garden, a gate leads into a large paddock that gently slopes away from the house, offering open space ideal for hobby farming, grazing, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the countryside. The gardens enjoy a desirable south-facing orientation, offering uninterrupted views across the property’s own land and the scenic countryside beyond—a truly idyllic backdrop for rural living. Attached to the newly built Byre is a large store and adjoining double garage.
