Quarry Hill Farm, Bibury, Gloucestershire, GL7

Quarry Hill Farm is a substantial country house in Bibury, surrounded by open Gloucestershire countryside and accompanied by extensive stabling, a swimming pool and a separate leisure building. Extending to approximately 5,542 sq ft in the main house, with a further 2,081 sq ft of stables, the property pairs the character of its original Cotswold stone architecture with a striking contemporary addition.



The kitchen and reception room is an impressive space measuring more than 43 ft in length. Large expanses of glass draw in natural light and frame views of the garden, while a substantial central island anchors the kitchen. There is plenty of room for both dining and informal seating, with doors opening directly outside.



The older part of the house retains a more traditional character. Two reception rooms provide generous entertaining space, complemented by a library lined with bookshelves and a separate music room. A study completes the principal ground-floor accommodation. Practical rooms include a pantry, boot room and utility room, while a cellar provides additional storage on the lower-ground floor.



The principal bedroom occupies the first floor, with an adjoining bathroom, while a second bedroom and further bathroom are arranged on the same level. Two additional bedrooms and a bathroom are found on the second floor. A further first-floor wing contains a games room, studio, kitchenette and fourth bedroom with a bathroom, providing particularly flexible accommodation for guests or family.



Outside, the house sits within mature gardens that provide an attractive backdrop to the Cotswold stone elevations and contemporary extension. A swimming pool is surrounded by a broad paved terrace, creating a wonderful spot for summer entertaining. Beside it, a timber-clad outbuilding contains a gym measuring approximately 18 ft by 13 ft, along with a pool room, WC and covered outside seating.



Equestrian facilities are a significant part of the property. The stables extend to approximately 2,081 sq ft and are arranged across two separate blocks, with multiple loose boxes, tack and storage rooms and further ancillary space. The surrounding paddocks and open countryside reinforce the property’s rural setting, while a carport provides covered parking close to the house. The land for lot one extends to about 17.73 acres. A further 13.91 acres available by separate negotiation.


Quarry Hill Farm lies in the sought-after Coln Valley, in Bibury, once described by William Morris as “the most beautiful village in England”. One of the Cotswolds’ best-known villages, Bibury is characterised by its honey-coloured stone houses and the River Coln. Cirencester is within easy reach for a broader range of shops, restaurants and everyday amenities, while the surrounding countryside offers excellent walking and riding. London is accessible by rail from Kemble, making the property well placed for both full-time country living and weekends away.
