Description

A handsome Grade II Listed Cotswold home with five bedrooms, beautifully balanced period and contemporary living, landscaped gardens, outbuildings and a peaceful village setting near Cheltenham. Dating back to around 1640, this handsome Grade II Listed village home has all the architectural charm you would hope to find in a traditional Cotswold house, with the added luxury of beautifully considered contemporary living. Set in approximately 0.45 acres of landscaped gardens, it enjoys a peaceful position in the heart of Sevenhampton, surrounded by some of Gloucestershire's loveliest countryside, whist still within easy reach of Cheltenham. Behind its striking Cotswold stone facade, the house offers approximately 2,612 sq ft of living space, with a further 275 sq ft of outbuildings, bringing the total to approximately 2,887 sq ft. Five bedrooms, three reception rooms and a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room create a home that is as comfortable hosting a houseful as it is enjoying a quiet Sunday. The original 17th-century house has been complemented by a sympathetically designed two-storey extension, constructed by the current owners around 15 years ago. The result is a wonderful balance of old and new: exposed beams, flagstone floors, original timbers and wood burners sit comfortably alongside generous family spaces, contemporary finishes and a superbly appointed kitchen. There is something immediately reassuring about arriving at this house. Its traditional stone elevations, pitched dormer windows and Cotswold stone-tiled roof give the house an elegant presence within the village. An enclosed entrance porch opens into the generous dining hall, where the character of the original house becomes immediately apparent. Exposed timbers, flagstone flooring and a handsome timber staircase create a beautifully atmospheric space with generous proportions that make it a proper reception room in its own right. A wood burner adds warmth in the winter months, whilst the room's position at the centre of the house makes it a natural place for bringing people together. It is equally suited to relaxed family suppers or a wonderfully atmospheric dinner party. From here, the accommodation flows into the principal reception rooms and through to the kitchen, giving the ground floor a layout that feels connected without losing the individuality of its different spaces. As it should be the kitchen/breakfast room is unquestionably one of Sevenhampton House's defining features. Stretching approximately 28'8" x 10'0" across the rear of the original house, this beautifully considered space was updated in 2024 and combines the warmth of a country kitchen with the clean lines and quality of a contemporary design. Bespoke cabinetry by Parlour Farm, finished in a beautiful muted blue-green, is complemented by quartz worktops, pale stone flooring and a generous breakfast bar that creates a natural gathering point. A part-vaulted ceiling, exposed structural timbers and thoughtfully positioned windows give the room wonderful character and allows light to stream in. The specification has been carefully chosen, with a Bora induction hob incorporating integrated extraction, Bosch double ovens, one with an integrated microwave, a Bosch dishwasher, Liebherr refrigeration and a wine fridge. Beyond the cooking area, there is space for a substantial dining table seating up to ten, making this a room that works just as well for a leisurely breakfast as it does for a long evening with friends. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, bringing the outside into everyday life and making summer entertaining beautifully straightforward. The sitting room offers an entirely different atmosphere, and that contrast is part of what makes this home so appealing. It is a beautifully-proportioned room with exposed ceiling beams, timber flooring and a handsome fireplace housing that essential wood burner. The deep-set windows let in natural light, whilst the rich, understated decor gives the space a comfortable, established feel. It is a room made for quiet evenings with a G & T in hand after a long day, with the fire lit and the rest of the house carrying on around you. The original architectural details have been retained and celebrated rather than overwhelmed, giving the room an authenticity that is difficult to recreate. Together with the dining room, it provides a lovely balance of formal and informal reception space within the historic part of the house. The two-storey extension has added a tremendous amount to the way Sevenhampton House works as a modern home. Designed to sit sympathetically alongside the original building, the newer wing introduces a substantial family room, separate office, utility room and cloakroom, as well as the impressive principal bedroom suite above.
