Main Street, Coln St. Aldwyns, GL7

Located in the very centre of Coln St. Aldwyns, one of the Cotswolds’ most admired villages, Millfield is a substantial detached house extending to approximately 4,135 square feet (including garage) and standing within established gardens of about 0.4 acres. Constructed in the late 1970s from Cotswold stone, the house was designed to sit quietly within its historic setting. Internally, it has remained largely unchanged since its construction, offering a rare opportunity for a buyer to modernise and shape the accommodation to their own tastes.

The ground floor is arranged around a central hall, which connects the principal reception rooms with the east and west wings of the house. The main sitting room is well proportioned, with a fireplace and views onto the garden, while the adjoining dining room can comfortably seat a large gathering. Beyond lies a glazed garden room with doors opening to the terrace and rear lawns. The kitchen, with its oil-fired AGA, looks out towards the garden and the tree where bird feeders have long attracted a colourful variety of visitors. It is supported by a utility room and boot room, with direct access to the integral double garage.

To the other side of the hall, a study leads into a further sitting room, which in turn provides access to two bedrooms (one on the ground floor and the other on the first floor) and a shower room. This flexible area could work equally well as a guest suite, a holiday let, or perhaps as a self-contained living space for a relative.

Upstairs, the accommodation divides into two distinct wings. The main staircase rises to a generous landing, giving access to the principal bedroom with en suite and a second double bedroom with a family bathroom. A secondary staircase to the east leads to two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom, creating a more private guest or children’s wing.

As currently laid out, the house provides four reception rooms, six bedrooms and four bath or shower rooms, arranged over three floors with a logical and versatile flow.

The gardens are a particular feature, offering privacy, space and wonderful views across the Coln Valley. To the front, a tarmac driveway , flanked by dry stone walls, rises from Main Street, while the rear garden faces south with gently sloping lawns, mature planting, and a number of terraces for outdoor dining. Long-standing features include apple trees, a raspberry patch, and a low cherry blossom tree at the front that transforms beautifully through the seasons.

This has been a much-loved family home. The garden has provided space for children to play and explore, while the house itself, with its quiet corners and generous rooms, has welcomed gatherings of friends and family for decades. From weekends of laughter around the dining table, to long walks along the River Coln with dogs, or games of cricket at the Williamstrip ground nearby, Millfield has been synonymous with hospitality, comfort and village life.

While the house has been carefully maintained, it is now ready for a new chapter. Its scale, position and layout are already in place; what remains is for the next owner to modernise and make it their own, and in doing so to create their own set of special memories in this remarkable Cotswold village.
