About this property

An Arts and Crafts style house, remodelled by local architects and conveniently placed for village life. Dating back to 1911, Windrush is a handsome Cotswold stone house that has been thoughtfully extended and modernised, most notably in 2007, to create a generous and highly functional family home.

The house occupies a particularly private position on the edge of Minchinhampton Common, combining seclusion with immediate access to one of the Cotswolds most cherished open spaces. Constructed in natural stone beneath a tiled roof, the house retains a strong architectural presence with mullion windows and traditional detailing that sit comfortably alongside its later additions. Windrush has evolved carefully over time, with extensions and alterations designed to enhance natural light, connectivity to the garden and day to day living, while preserving the character and integrity of the original house. The result is a property that feels established and reassuring, yet well suited to modern family life, with a natural flow between reception rooms, kitchen spaces and the gardens beyond. The principal reception rooms are well proportioned and enjoy excellent natural light. The sitting room features a stone fireplace, built‑in library shelving and French windows opening directly onto the garden. The drawing room is a particularly attractive space with a bay window providing garden views and window seating, together with a stone fireplace and timber floor. A dual‑aspect morning room offers further flexible living space overlooking the gardens. At the heart of the house is an impressive kitchen/breakfast room designed for family living and informal entertaining. A comprehensive range of units, substantial central island and granite work surfaces are complemented by integrated appliances, while a stone chimneypiece with wood‑burning stove provides a natural division between kitchen and dining areas. A window seat enjoys views across the gardens and the space opens directly into a snug, creating a cohesive family living environment. A study positioned close to the kitchen provides a practical home office. Completing the accommodation is the modern garden room; a beautifully light space with vaulted glazed roofline, tall windows and doors opening directly onto the terrace and garden, finished with limestone flooring and opening seamlessly back into the kitchen. The ground floor also includes a utility room, rear hall, boot room and cloakroom/WC's. The first floor is accessed via both front and rear staircases, with the main staircase rising to a galleried landing lit by a tall front window. The accommodation provides six bedrooms, three with ensuite bath/shower rooms together with a family bathroom and additional shower room.

Outside
Approached via automated wrought iron gates flanked by stone walls and pillars. A cattle grid leads to a sweeping gravel driveway providing ample parking and access to the house. A substantial detached garage block offers garaging and workshop space for three cars, with individual doors and additional first floor space suitable for storage, a gym or perhaps conversion into a large home office. The gardens are a particular highlight and a defining feature of the property. Immediately to the rear of the house are broad flagged terraces, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining, with Wisteria climbing the stone elevations to provide a charming backdrop. Beyond, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees and planting.

Situation
Windrush is discreetly positioned just outside Minchinhampton, approached via a private road bordering the common known as “The Park”. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is within easy walking distance of the village centre, which offers a well-regarded pub, cafés, a village shop, traditional butcher, library, post office, pharmacy and doctors’ surgery. The nearby market towns of Cirencester, Tetbury and Stroud provide a broader range of amenities, with Stroud offering a direct rail service to London Paddington in under 90 minutes.
