Meysey Hampton, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7

A beautifully positioned Cotswold country property with gardens and paddock.


Description

Hampton Fields Farm is found at the end of a long drive and as such is particularly private. Unspoilt farmland surrounds the property and the land available makes the property ideal for those with equestrian or livestock interests.

The property is not listed and is understood to have been converted in 1990. In being converted the accommodation was imaginatively laid out on two floors and is light and airy throughout. In recent years the property has been considerably improved, particularly with the kitchen and bathrooms.

The first floor drawing room is an exceptional entertaining room with full length windows allowing for the enviable views. There are also original beams and a cut stone fire place. Also on the first floor is the principal bedroom suite. The majority of the rooms are found on the ground floor including the kitchen which opens into the dining room, and a cellar which can found underneath the reception hall. In addition there are four further bedrooms together with three bathrooms, two being en suite. Opening out into the garden is the conservatory/ sitting room. There is also a cloakroom and utility room as well as useful office space which could also be used as a playroom or media room.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
A long tarmac drive leads from the lane past the mature woodland bordered by a historic Cotswold drystone wall before approaching a silver lime avenue flanked by neatly clipped beech hedges which opens up to a large gravel parking area beside the main house.

Close to the house is the L- shaped stable block with loose boxes, tack room, feed room, machinery store and hardstanding with direct access to the adjoining flat paddocks. The stable yard, subject to the necessary consent, could easily be expanded to provide further stabling, garaging, workshop or studio.

Hampton Fields Farm has the most sensational gardens which have been beautifully landscaped and carefully planned to provide colour throughout the seasons. There are a large number of flowers, shrubs and trees and despite the intensity of the garden, it requires a relatively small amount of maintenance.

The gardens extend to the paddock with the total extending to about 8.25 acres.
