Large family home in the heart of the Cotswolds Countryside
Tucked into the rolling green hills of the Cotswolds, our home offers sweeping views of the timeless countryside. Originally built in the 1970s, the house is spacious and full of character, currently undergoing a thoughtful transformation into a tasteful minimalist haven.
Set within its own beautifully maintained gardens, the property feels like a rural sanctuary. Chickens roam freely near the flowerbeds, adding charm and a touch of rustic life. The house comfortably accommodates six guests, with a luxurious super king-size bedroom, a cozy king-size room, and a pair of twin beds perfect for children or friends. There are two toilets, and a newly renovated family bathroom that blends sleek design with practical comfort.
Just outside the front door lies direct access to the Cotswold Way, inviting endless walks through wildflower meadows, ancient woodlands, and postcard-perfect villages. On Fridays and Saturdays, a vibrant farmers market comes alive nearby—bursting with local produce, handmade crafts, and warm conversation. Whether you're exploring nearby castles, settling into a cozy pub, or simply soaking in the glorious nature, this home is a true countryside escape that balances old charm with new elegance.
About the location
Selsley is a charming Cotswold village nestled just south of Stroud, wrapped around the slopes of Selsley Common—a protected Site of Special Scientific Interest with panoramic views over the Severn Vale, Forest of Dean, and even the Welsh hills on clear days. Selsley has a welcoming community vibe: the village supports clubs, a cricket ground, and events throughout the year. At the end of our road is The Bell Inn. The Bell is a delightful 16th-century Grade II listed pub at the village heart, boasting dog‑friendly and walker‑welcoming atmosphere.
Stroud (2 miles north) is a quirky market town with a vibrant arts scene, artisan cafés, restaurants, and the renowned Friday & Saturday farmers market.
