Positioned on historic Hailes Street just moments from the heart of Winchcombe, The Old Sudeley Arms is a magnificent 16th-century Grade II listed landmark offering an extraordinary 'town and country' lifestyle. Behind its striking timber-framed facade lies a home of immense historical prestige, perfectly pairing its vibrant town setting with breathtaking, far-reaching views to the Cotswold escarpment to the rear.
Formerly two distinct residences, the property boasts deceptively spacious accommodation rich in original architectural features, from flagstone flooring and exposed wall timbers to beautiful stonework. A central entrance hall leads to a principal sitting room on the left which has an impressive stone fireplace and a formal dining room on the right. Towards the rear, a lower-level snug/family room provides access to both a cellar and a lean-to, alongside a kitchen/breakfast room positioned to enjoy the garden outlook.
Spread across the upper storeys are five double bedrooms and four bathrooms (three ensuite), culminating in an upper-floor office area with easy access to a substantial attic space.
Extending towards Silk Mill Lane, the mature rear garden features a charming two-storey stone 'folly' - previously utilised as a home office - and leads to an expansive rear driveway. Offering ample parking for multiple vehicles and two large garage/car ports, this represents a rare commodity in central Winchcombe. Offered with no onward chain, a thoughtful programme of sympathetic renovation will undoubtedly elevate this spectacular property into one of the area's finest private residences.
SITUATION
Winchcombe is an ancient Saxon town, beautifully situated on the famous Cotswold Way, just 7 miles north-east of Cheltenham. This location offers excellent connectivity (approx. 2hrs to London Paddington by train from Cheltenham), with Broadway 8 miles and Gloucester 16 miles away.
Nestled within the Cotswolds National Landscape (formerly the AONB), the town features many listed properties. The thriving community provides an excellent range of amenities, including independent shops, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, doctors/dental surgeries, and a library, plus a primary and a secondary school.
A stone's throw from the town centre lies the magnificent Sudeley Castle, a historic Tudor jewel and the final resting place of Queen Katherine Parr. Residents and visitors alike enjoy a year-round calendar of prestigious events ranging from the magical 'Spectacle of Light' in winter to summer outdoor theatre and artisan festivals.
The town's cultural and recreational life is further enhanced by the Isbourne Arts Centre, a vibrant venue for music, drama, and community events; and the Winchcombe Park, which offers a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), a skate park, an outdoor gym, and picnic areas, strengthening the local community spirit.
