Upper Kilcot, Wotton-under-edge, GL12

Tucked into a secluded fold of the South Cotswolds in the hamlet of Upper Kilcot, this is a perfect example of a beautifully restored period home that offers a rare combination of character, comfort and generous proportions. Clad in honey-coloured Cotswold stone beneath a traditional stone-tiled roof, the property sits in matured grounds with sweeping views over the surrounding valley and open countryside beyond.

The main house extends to approximately 3,258 sq ft over three floors and has been finished to an exceptional standard, blending original features — exposed timber beams, inglenook fireplaces and deep window reveals — with stylish contemporary interiors. The heart of the home is a stunning kitchen and dining room with a vaulted ceiling, bespoke cabinetry, four-oven electric Aga, a large central island and French doors opening onto the terrace, perfect for entertaining. A generous drawing room (over 28 feet in length) is centred around a dramatic stone inglenook with wood-burning stove, while a separate sitting room, cosy family room and a well-equipped utility complete the ground floor.

The first floor offers a superb principal bedroom suite with countryside views, and two further generous double bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, and the other with an adjacent shower room. On the top floor, two additional beamed bedrooms and a further bath/shower room provide good accommodation.

Beyond the main house is the detached stone and timber-clad outbuilding (approximately 1,059 sq ft). Thoughtfully converted, it provides a gym, an additional bedroom with ensuite and a spacious reception room/studio — ideal for home working, guest accommodation or a teenage den.

Outside, the property enjoys manicured lawns, mature shrubs, flowering cherry trees and a paved terrace with outdoor dining make the most of the peaceful rural setting. There is ample gravel parking and a gently fenced wild meadow beyond.
Offered fully furnished and available from mid June, Upper Kilcot House is presented to an immaculate standard and will suit a discerning family seeking a turn-key Cotswold home of real quality.
