Corsham Field Farmhouse is a substantial detached home located between Icomb, Upper Oddington and Bledington. The situation is beautifully elevated to take advantage of some stunning Cotswolds views to the South. The property has been in the same ownership for a number of years and has been run as a very successful bed and breakfast business.

The property provides fantastic living accommodation of over 4,000 sqft with wonderful living accommodation across the ground floor with several reception rooms including a generous drawing room which enjoys the stunning views, a sitting / dining room, music room / study which leads onto a rear hall and cloakroom, kitchen breakfast room with dining and snug area with a utility room and cloakroom beyond. A rear link provides access to the annexe.

A light filled landing on the first floor leads on to a principal bedroom suite and a further three bedrooms one of which is en suite and a family bathroom. The first floor is split in two with a second staircase which leads to a further three en suite bedrooms. The first floor is versatile and offers the opportunity for some reconfiguration to suit a buyers needs. The annexe has the benefit of the link to the main house and its own front door which leads into a hall with two double en suite bedrooms on the ground floor and another two on the first floor. This section of the property could easily be converted into separate living accommodation for a family member or staff by installing a kitchen in one of the two ground floor rooms.

The property is approached over a gravelled drive which leads up through the former farmyard where parking is on hand in front of the house for a number of vehicles. Mature gardens are mainly laid to the front in order to take advantage of the breath-taking views.

A range of agricultural barns provide an additional 7000 sqft and could have a number of uses. Our clients have received positive comments from local architects and planning consultants about potential development however there is not currently any planning permission for change of use for the barns in place.

Beyond the farmyard and leading uphill to the North are approximately 37 acres of arable land which has been rented to the neighbouring farmer.
