Main House Cottage THE COTTAGE The cottage has been created – transformed from former stone built stables to a beautifully presented dwelling with kitchen/ dining room, sitting room, bath/shower room and a bedroom on the first floor. Attached is a spacious party room, which could be integrated to the cottage, or used separately as it is currently, and overlooks a small, private walled garden area. Accessed from the party room area is a bespoke, purpose built wine cellar. THE BARN The barn has also been upgraded to an exceptional degree, providing boundless versatility, complementing the house and the lifestyle of the owner. Included is a backup generator, which automatically takes over the powering of the house in the event of a power-outage. THE GARDENS AND GROUNDS In the gardens it is obvious to see the scale of design and refurbishment which has taken place. The balance of formality with more natural design is well considered and provides for an impressive space of entertaining and a relaxed environment for family enjoyment. Within the formal garden is a charming koi pond set within the beautiful terraced lawns, which are bordered by an array of shrubs and specimen trees. Beyond the formal lawn areas are the wonderful rural views of the undulating Cotswolds countryside. To the east of the lawns is a really impressive walled kitchen garden of, arguably, the perfect size and scale for the property. A pretty and substantial modern glass house forms the eastern boundary to the walled garden, which leads to the garden stores, potting shed and separate fruit cage – all immaculately presented. Venturing further in to the gardens and leaving the formality behind, there is a small arboretum of specimen trees of varying stages of maturity, which leads to a breeze house and an impressive purpose designed barbeque area with hot and cold water services. Wonderful for entertaining, whilst ideally positioned in order to take in the breath-taking views over the property’s fields and beyond to the Sodbury Vale at the bottom of the Cotswolds Escarpment. THE LAND In addition to forming part of the wonderful views and providing privacy, the pasture is well managed, fenced and includes a traditional style, timber framed hay barn/livestock building, whilst offering an number of options for the enjoyment of Hawkesbury Home Farm. The current owner has kept their own cattle whilst also letting the pasture to a local farmer for the grazing of sheep and cutting of hay. The current owner has also acquired additional land with a traditional stone-built livestock building on the opposite side of the lane, creating further privacy and control of the views. Hawkesbury Home Farm really is a magical setting for a charming family home in a rural yet accessible part of the south- west Cotswolds. HAWKESBURY HOME FARM
