Commercial Road, Chalford Hill, GL6

Set behind an original stone wall, this secluded country home offers two entrances, including a north-easterly side access via a wooden gate opening onto a garden path that leads into a boot room, scullery, and utility area. At the heart of the home, the central kitchen and dining room centered around a classic Aga form a welcoming space. Detailed with vintage character, the kitchen features a large Belfast sink set on an old timber table, solid reclaimed worktops, and an antique armoire. Soft cream distemper coats the walls, while bright southerly light filters through a sash window into the dining area. The south-east-facing living room features lime-washed floorboards, powdery pink walls, exposed oak beams, and a focal log-burning stove. Oversized Edwardian windows fill the room with natural light while framing views of the gardens and courtyards. A staircase with pine treads and a cherry wood handrail ascends to four peaceful double bedrooms. The primary suite enjoys morning light and treetop views through original sash windows, complemented by whitewashed floors and a bespoke en-suite bathroom with a cast-iron roll-top bath, walk-in shower, and terracotta tiles. Three additional double bedrooms—one with an en-suite shower room and another with direct garden access—are served by a family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower.

Outside

The carefully tended grounds at Upland House brim with roses, foxgloves, and lush perennials. Winding paths lead across lawns to mature trees, trailing climbers, and a natural spring. A productive kitchen garden features raised beds and a glasshouse. To the south-east sits a stone outbuilding ripe for restoration, alongside a glass-fronted studio immersed in the garden.
