2 Old Dowmans Farm, Coberley, GL53

A truly exceptional Cotswold barn conversion, The Old Brewery offers more than 3,100 sq ft of elegant accommodation set within one of the region’s most idyllic landscapes. This five-bedroom link-detached home seamlessly blends contemporary comfort with traditional charm, all framed by far-reaching views across rolling hills, lush valleys and historic parkland. Nestled within the peaceful village of Coberley, the setting is enhanced by the presence of the beautiful St. Giles Church and the timeless character that surrounds it.

On the ground floor, the property features a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area designed for both family living and entertaining. The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances, a stainless-steel Rangemaster multi-function oven, feature lighting and Beswick Stone flooring, while a central island creates a natural division between cooking and dining. A spacious study, cloakroom, utility and boot room and a generous entrance lobby complete this level, providing a practical and well-considered layout that suits everyday life.

The first floor offers five beautifully appointed bedrooms, three of which include en-suite bathrooms. A further family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, and shaker-style built-in wardrobes add both convenience and style throughout the upper floor. Each room enjoys natural light and views that reinforce the home’s sense of space and serenity.

Outside, the landscaped gardens wrap around the property, with areas laid to lawn, a patio perfect for outdoor dining, and both a car port and driveway parking. The setting offers privacy while maintaining the wonderful rural vista that defines this unique home. The property benefits from double-glazed windows and doors, and a profiled seam-finished grey metal roof, ensuring durability as well as visual appeal. Bathrooms and en-suites feature quality sanitaryware, full-height tiling, attractive basins and tiled flooring, while exterior lighting and thoughtful landscaping complete the overall finish.

The Old Brewery forms part of Dowmans Farm, a historic 17th-century Cotswolds estate once owned by Frederick Winterbotham, an RAF officer central to the distribution of intelligence from the cracking of German Enigma codes at Bletchley Park. During wartime, the farm buildings were used to train operatives in espionage, and Winterbotham later documented these experiences in his book The Ultra Secret. This rich heritage gives the setting a unique and fascinating provenance.

Coberley itself is situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by a tapestry of hills, valleys, parkland, woodland and open pasture. The village is home to the Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ Coberley C of E Primary School, with numerous excellent educational options available nearby in Cheltenham. Slightly tucked away from main routes, the village retains a wonderful sense of peace and is further complemented by the delightful parish church of St. Giles.

For dining, leisure and socialising, several popular pubs are within walking distance, including the picturesque Green Dragon at Cockleford, the landmark Air Balloon at Birdlip and the welcoming Severn Springs. A broader selection of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues can be found in Cheltenham or at Gloucester Quays, both within comfortable reach.

Cheltenham itself lies just 15 minutes away and is regularly celebrated as one of the best places to live in the South West. Renowned for its Regency architecture, excellent schooling, cultural venues and vibrant atmosphere, the town is also famed as the Festival Capital, hosting world-class events spanning literature, jazz, science, music and, of course, the internationally recognised Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Transport links from Dowmans Barns are superb, with quick access to the A435, A436 and the M5 at Junction 11a. This makes travel to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cirencester, Bristol, Birmingham and London straightforward. Cheltenham Spa Station, just over five miles away, offers regular services to London Paddington in approximately two hours.
