6 bedrooms House in Warrens Cross, Lechlade, Warrens Cross, Lechlade GL7
Warrens Cross Farm is an exceptional 5-bed, 3-bath Cotswold farmhouse with annexe, set in over an acre of gardens with pond, carport & barn. A rare blend of period charm and modern living. Sweeping past two quaint cottages, before reaching a private gateway, the driveway leads to Warrens Cross Farm, where there is plentiful parking for around seven vehicles upon the golden gravel drive and within the car port. Along the hallway to the left again, the sitting room stretches out beneath whitewashed ceilings bedecked in beams. Another imposing stone fireplace impresses its stature, furnished with a log-burning stove for brisk winter nights. Contemporary-classic decor pervades throughout with panelled walls and built-in storage to the left-hand side of the room. Saturated in light, another handsome stone mullion bay window frames views out over the lawn and treeline in the private and expansive garden. Pumping out warmth and cheer, the Rangemaster oven is a natural congregational point, nestled in a rustic whitewashed stone surround. Muted, soft blue-grey Shaker-style cabinetry adds a heritage feel to this modern kitchen, where storage is available in abundance and crisp white worktops provide plenty of preparation space. Newly fitted within the last 24 months, this fresh feel kitchen also includes a host of fitted appliances, including sink, fridge and dishwasher. Dine casually at the breakfast bar, with the handy utility room close by providing further storage and a second sink, space for a separate fridge and abundant storage. From here, a front porch leads out to the garden and with built-in dog bed area and cupboards, this utility room serves just as well as a boot room for everyday comings and goings. At the farthest end of the entrance hallway, a large and light laundry room is a wonderful bonus, with so much storage, worktop space and plumbing for washing machine and dryer, keeping the housework and clutter tucked well away out of sight. Just off this area there is also a handy, downstairs cloakroom with WC. Turning left, step through into the first of the bedrooms, cosily carpeted and with an original cast-iron fireplace, painted chalky-blue grey, and with a built-in wardrobe for storage. Light and quiet, with painted beams above, a window looks out to the driveway at the front. Next door, a second double bedroom is dressed in similar shades and offers fantastic views out over the garden and pond, again featuring built-in wardrobes and with an ornamental fireplace. Interior designer-led in its styling throughout, there is a soothing yet elegant finesse to all the rooms at Warrens Cross Farm. Turning right at the top of the landing, built-in wardrobes in soft green-grey provide plenty of storage in the dressing room, ideally located across the landing from the principal suite, itself brimming with built-in wardrobes. Plush grey carpet flows underfoot, with stone mullion windows providing picture perfect views from the bed out over the expansive and totally private lawn, patio and pond to the rear. Refresh and revive in the en suite, a capacious room, with exposed stone walls, wooden flooring, cast iron radiator and bespoke vanity unit with twin wash basins. Step into the large walk-in shower to freshen up, replete with rainfall head and a handy nearby heated towel radiator in charcoal tones. Further storage can be found in the airing cupboard on the landing, while a separate shower room with exposed stone wall features opposite stairs leading up once more to the second floor. Almost a self-contained floor, step forward from the second-floor landing and into the bathroom, where a rolltop bath is on hand for soothing soaks, alongside separate shower, wash basin and WC. Two further double bedrooms also feature on the top floor, one with whitewashed vaulted ceiling, Velux windows and eaves storage, offering Jack n Jill access to the bathroom, and a second spacious double bedroom again beneath a vaulted ceiling, its exposed beams authentically unpainted. For older children, this entire floor is a self-contained haven, replete with storage-laden kitchenette. Accessed off the utility room, the annexe can be used for additional accommodation, or even Airbnb rental. Wooden flooring runs underfoot on the ground level, with a stylish and sophisticated contemporary kitchenette replete with sink, fridge and breakfast bar offering access out to a private courtyard garden. Exposed brickwork evokes the annexes barn origins, visible in the open and airy living-dining room, where glass balustrade stairs lead up to a beautiful bedroom beneath the vaulted, whitewashed beams of the mezzanine level. Also on the ground floor is a rustic-industrial inspired shower room, with brick-effect wall tiles, black heated towel rail, shower, wash basin and WC. With access out to another private garden to the front, this versatile and independent home within a home is perfect for visiting relatives or rental potential.

7 bedrooms House in Warrens Cross, Lechlade, Warrens Cross, Lechlade GL7
An elegant 19th-century home, thoughtfully extended & refined, offering beautifully balanced living, a stylish modern kitchen, annex flexibility, and landscaped gardens in a peaceful Lechlade setting. Arrival is quiet and unassuming. The approach gives way to open sky and a broad sweep of lawn, where the house settles easily into its setting. Built in the early 1800s and later shaped by careful, incremental change, it carries the kind of presence that comes not from scale alone, but from time, proportion and a sense of continuity. Its evolution has been measured rather than imposed. Successive owners have extended and adapted the house in ways that respect its origins, most notably through a thoughtful enlargement in 2012 that broadened both its footprint and its capacity for modern living. The result is a home that feels cohesive rather than assembled - where older stonework, later additions and more recent interventions sit in quiet agreement. Daily life here centres, quite naturally, around the kitchen. Reimagined four years ago, it is both functional and sociable: a space designed not simply for cooking, but for gathering. Underfloor heating and a clean, contemporary finish soften the practicalities, while the proportions allow for easy movement between preparation, dining and conversation. From here, the house unfolds into a series of well-balanced rooms - formal where they need to be, but never rigid. The drawing room, anchored by a log burner installed in 2020, offers a more settled atmosphere, particularly in the colder months, while the sitting room provides a secondary space to retreat or host more informally. The rhythm of the house supports both everyday living and larger gatherings. here is a natural flow between rooms, with sightlines that encourage connection but also allow for separation when needed. The annexe extends this flexibility further, offering a self-contained environment that can adapt to guests, extended family or independent working. Upstairs, the tone shifts. Bedrooms are arranged to emphasise privacy and calm, with views that remind you of the surrounding countryside without overwhelming the interior. Bathrooms, updated over time, are quietly functional and in keeping with the overall feel of the house. These are spaces designed for retreat rather than display, considered, comfortable, and removed from the activity below. Outside, the relationship between house and garden is immediate. The orientation draws in the south and southwest light, giving the front lawn a consistent warmth throughout the day. A central seating area creates a natural focal point - somewhere to pause rather than perform - while the wider grounds, extending to around half an acre, allow for both openness and enclosure. Outbuildings, including a carport and workshop, add a layer of practicality without interrupting the overall composition. The setting itself is part of the appeal. Positioned close to Lechlade, the house benefits from a sense of rural quiet while remaining connected to the rhythms of village life. The surrounding landscape shifts with the seasons in ways that are both subtle and reassuring. After more than twelve years of ownership, the current owners speak most of the life that has been lived here: of gatherings in the kitchen, of the ease of the space, and of a house that has adapted alongside them. What remains is a home that has been carefully held and thoughtfully used. It does not seek to impress at first glance, but instead reveals itself gradually, through proportion, through flow, and through the quiet confidence of a place that knows exactly what it is.
