Property Description
Grade II listed five-six bedroom house providing a very rare opportunity to obtain a historic building set within a classic burgage plot in the heart of Northleach, and to create a stunning and extensive family home.
Located on the market square in the conservation area of Northleach, Red Lion House is a Grade II listed Medieval property with 19th century additions. The property has undergone major restoration and now presents a rare opportunity to purchase a historic building oozing with character, and further scope to create a stunning family home.
The current owners have reroofed and completed the majority of the sympathetic renovations, this includes constructing a spectacular double-storey glass and oak atrium and bespoke oak staircase to the first floor, thereby creating an extensive residence arranged over three floors. On the ground floor double doors open into the entrance hall leading to the atrium and dining area; beyond is the large open-plan kitchen with utility and scullery off it, including a WC and shower room. The large garden room to the rear is just over 368 sq ft, with proposed part-vaulted ceiling, access to a mezzanine and bi-fold doors to an outdoor dining area. Stairs off the kitchen lead down to the extensive cellars. To the front is the main sitting room with aga wood burner and windows onto the market square. On the first floor are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are ensuite. The second floor, with one bedroom and bathroom, features vaulted ceilings and exposed beams and timbers. There is permission to create a sixth bedroom with ensuite bathroom within the second floor attic space, accessed via a proposed staircase from the smaller bedroom below.
Outside is a walled courtyard garden with an extensive 210 ft rear garden beyond, incorporating grassed areas, planting with a variety of shrubs and trees, and various outbuildings, including hen houses. There is also gated access to the rear.
Situation
Northleach is a small historic town situated about 11 miles north-east of Cirencester and 10 miles south-west of Stow-on-the-Wold. Tucked away from the busy A40, between undulating hills, it is located at an important crossroads, just off the Roman road, the Fosse Way, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The streets in and around the ancient market square are rich in architectural interest, ranging from half-timbered Tudor houses to merchants' stores. The town has an excellent variety of shops, including an award-winning butcher, a chemist and a post office. There is also a doctor's surgery, pre-school and junior school, a sports and social club, the magnificent medieval Parish Church of St Peter & St Paul, and two pubs, The Wheatsheaf Hotel and Restaurant, a café and a wine bar. More extensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities can be found in Cheltenham and Oxford. The Northleach Charter Fair and Music Festival is held annually in June, while a steam and vintage show has been revived by locals and is held annually in September.
Communications in general are excellent with the A40/M40, M4 and M5 motorways all within easy travelling distance. There is a regular bus service to Moreton-in-Marsh and Cheltenham. Regular trains into Oxford and London Paddington depart from Kingham Station (15 miles).
