Aston-on-Carrant, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire

Upper Farm House is a beautifully restored five-bedroom period home set on a peaceful no-through road in the charming hamlet of Aston on Carrant, nestled between Bredon and Tewkesbury. With an abundance of original features and a welcoming, practical layout, this home offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and easy access to local amenities, the M5, Ashchurch station, and Cheltenham.

Upon entering, the traditional entrance hall, with its karndeen flooring, raised hearth and inglenook fireplace with log burner, sets a warm and inviting tone. This leads to the spacious sitting room, which features exposed ceiling beams, a fireplace with a woodburning stove, and a relaxed, cosy atmosphere – perfect for unwinding. Across the hall, the formal dining room provides a lovely space for family gatherings or entertaining guests. It offers peaceful views over the garden and allows natural light to flood the room.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen and breakfast room is light-filled, thanks to overhead rooflights and large windows looking out onto the garden. The space is well-equipped with traditional country-style units, a Belfast sink, and stone worktops. There is ample room for a dining table, making it the perfect spot for family meals. Double doors open onto the patio, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors during the warmer months.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite offers a generous, tranquil retreat. It features a spacious double bedroom, a separate dressing room, and a modern en-suite shower room. Original timber beams continue throughout, adding character and charm. Two further bedrooms on this floor, one currently being used as a home office, are served by a contemporary family bathroom with a neutral finish.

On the second floor, two additional double bedrooms benefit from vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, further enhancing the sense of space. One bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while the other features built-in wardrobes. This floor also offers access to a large loft storage area, which could be converted into additional living space (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

The private, well-maintained garden is a standout feature, offering a large, flat lawn bordered by mature trees and attractive flowerbeds. A paved terrace connects directly to the kitchen and provides a lovely outdoor dining area. A timber gazebo offers a sheltered space for outdoor seating, while a charming summerhouse, complete with its own patio area, provides the perfect quiet retreat or potential workspace.

The village of Bredon, just a short distance away, provides a shop, GP surgery, a popular pub, and a primary school. Nearby Kemerton and Teddington offer additional dining options, and Cheltenham is within easy reach for shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. The area is well served by good schools, including Bredon Hill Academy, Bredon School, and Pate’s Grammar, as well as a number of independent schools.

Upper Farm House is a spacious, character-filled family home, offering a blend of traditional features and modern convenience in a highly desirable rural location. With easy access to major transport links, excellent schools, and local amenities, it’s the ideal place for those seeking a quiet countryside retreat with all the benefits of town living close by.
