Description
The house is a fine example of traditional Cotswold architecture and retains a host of period features
throughout, including exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, window seats, flagstone floors, and a rare original bread oven—offering a true sense of character and heritage.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors and has been thoughtfully updated to suit modern living while preserving its historic integrity. The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room fitted with an AGA, bespoke cabinetry, and ample space for informal dining. This leads through to a separate formal dining room, a cosy sitting room, and an elegant drawing room—each with its own unique charm and outlook across the village or garden. A study, utility/boot room, and cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the first floor boasts a spacious principal suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom, a generous guest bedroom with its own en suite, two further double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The second-floor features two additional bedrooms, another family bathroom, and three attic rooms offering versatile space—ideal for storage, playrooms, or even further accommodation if desired.
Lower Slaughter takes its name from Sir Philip de Sloitre, who was granted land here in the 11th century by William the Conqueror. Set within the heart of the Cotswolds' celebrated 'Golden Triangle'—the picturesque area between Chipping Norton, Burford, and Stow-on-the-Wold—it is often regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in England. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village's timeless charm and unspoiled character have made it a favourite location for feature films and period dramas.
The village itself offers a range of traditional amenities, including the elegant 18th-century Manor House Hotel and Spa, the cosy Slaughters Inn, a pretty parish church, a village hall, and a well-loved local cricket club.
Everyday essentials can be found in nearby Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold, both just a short drive away, while larger centres such as Cheltenham, Cirencester, and Oxford provide a wide array of shopping, cultural, and recreational options.
For food lovers, the area is a true delight. Just fifteen minutes away is the renowned Daylesford Organic Farm Shop, a hub of artisanal produce and countryside dining. The region is also home to a host of award-winning pubs and restaurants including The Wild Rabbit in Kingham (Michelin-starred), and The Fox at Oddington.
Kingham station, around 15 minutes by car, offers direct mainline rail services into Oxford and London Paddington (from 86 minutes), making Lower Slaughter ideal for those seeking rural peace without sacrificing connectivity.
Education in the area is excellent, with highly regarded schools including The Cotswold Academy, Kitebrook Preparatory, Tudor Hall, and the Cheltenham Colleges. There is also a wide choice of respected schools in Oxford.
