Description

Chain Free - Glebe House is a substantial and beautifully enhanced family home. Set in a peaceful and elevated position, half a mile from the picturesque village of Buscot which is at the end of Snowswick Lane. Enjoying uninterrupted views across open countryside, Glebe House offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and charm. Buscot and Coleshill (both National Trust) are local conservation villages.

Originally purchased in 1997, the home underwent significant extension works in 2000 to expand the kitchen and add a wealth of additional accommodation. These included two further bedrooms, two en-suites, a fabulous dressing room, studio, utility room, and a double garage. The garage features plastered walls and electrical sockets—ideal for conversion into additional living space.

The current owners have made continual improvements throughout their nearly 30-year ownership. Notable updates include:

Full electrical rewiring and installation of a new heating system.
Heat exchange system fitted for the second-floor bathrooms and landing.
Fire alarm system installed.
New guttering and boiler (2023).
Rear roof replacement and chimney/flashing re-leaded (December 2024).
Replacement of the double-skinned oil tank (February 2024).
Main alarm circuit board replaced (March 2024).
CCTV surveillance installed.

Heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler. The main reception room and the office both benefit from log-burning open fireplaces. The bespoke fireplace in the living room was crafted from local stone, while the office retains its original tiled surround. The kitchen features an electric oven and a gas hob, and the property operates with a septic tank for wastewater.
Additionally, The driveway offers a convenient turning circle and comfortably accommodates several vehicles

A note from the vendor:

''We moved to Glebe House almost 30 years ago not knowing the county but loving the landscape. Glebe House is the old Rectory built in the 1950’s as the original Buscot Rectory had become a National Trust monument as part of the Buscot Estate with Buscot Park. The original 4 bedroom house required updating so a local builder built our extension, designed by an excellent architect. It was extended as a family house and has been enjoyed as such, with many parties and celebrations. Our grand-children love it and are sorry that we are moving on. The house is spacious, light and airy, where a family can spread out in their own space. Every window shows the amazing English countryside that induced us to move here. The garden is a haven for wildlife and super for children to play, whether sports, hide and seek or tree picnics. It is a great place to relax and entertain. The rear garden faces South East and has the sun most it the day. Glebe House is convenient for shops including an artisan bakers, fish restaurant and butchers in the lovely town of Lechlade.''


A note from the Agent:

''On our visit to Glebe House, we were immediately struck by the tranquil atmosphere and unique setting. This is an area that blends modern touches with a quintessential countryside feel. The owners generously welcomed us with a lunch at a stylish café in the village of Buscot in a rather contemporary cafe.

It was a hot summer’s day, and the panoramic views across open fields made a lasting impression. The house, extensive gardens, and generous driveway offer abundant space—with plenty of potential for further development, such as a detached garage or expanded kitchen-diner (subject to permissions). The double garage is meticulously maintained, and the driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles.

After nearly three decades of cherished ownership, the current owners are now looking to move closer to family presenting an exceptional opportunity for the next custodians of this remarkable home.''

Open day takes place on Saturday 26th July, between 10am-3pm - Book a viewing today, before they are booked up!
