House For Rent £18,000
A truly remarkable property
Description
Maces Farmhouse is a truly remarkable property situated in the heart of the premier village of Wyck Rissington which is located in the Golden Triangle of the Cotswolds.
A former farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, constructed of coarse squared and dressed limestone with dressed stone quoins, undertook a major refurbishment which was completed in 2023 and has transformed this quaint family farmhouse into a stunning contemporary home with unsurpassed attention to detail, tasteful décor, all resulting in a home that is luxurious yet practical throughout.
As you enter the house your eye is drawn to the handsome staircase and restored flag stones that frame the space beautifully. As you move to the left of the hallway you enter the vaulted ceiling drawing room with working fire, superb for large family gathering. This then leads down into a study with access to the rear courtyard, both rooms are flooded with natural light. To the right of the hallway is the charming dining room with solid wood floors and log burner, great for formal dinner parties and those cosy winter evening.
From the dining room you can enter the bespoke kitchen via one of the two access points. The bespoke kitchen is the jewel of this house with a light filled dining area overlooking the gardens. Located beyond the kitchen is a large boot/laundry room. A super addition for less formal entertaining is the sitting room with working fire and access to the rear garden. The ground floor flows extremely well with the mature garden being accessible from multiple rooms. Ascending the central staircase, the first floor L shaped landing leads to the principal suite with large dressing area, principal bedroom with west-southerly views across the Cotswold countryside and a contemporary en suite with roll top bath.
The two further double bedrooms look out over the front of the property both with en suites. You also access the gallery from the first floor which provides views of the drawing room and is a very flexible space which could act as a second study or relaxing seating area. Finally on the second floor you have two double bedrooms sharing a shower room.
The extensive gardens were designed and planted by the creative landscape specialists and award winners Bowles and Wyer and the widespread planting of shrubs and trees help frame the views, whilst gently hiding the tennis court, small basketball court and swimming pool area. Stone terracing, walls and pathways have been created to ensure privacy and enjoyment of the quiet seclusion and rolling landscape.
The two bed, two bath cottage has also been renovated to an exacting standard and is fabulous for additional family/guest accommodation benefitting from their own private rear garden. The party barn situated by the pool has a newly fitted cinema room and the building is incredibly well equipped for those summer pool parties or special occasion celebrations.
Parking is behind an electric gate and courtyard in front of the party barn and cottage.
Maces Farmhouse is a discreet property packed with everything you could wish for in the Cotswolds and it a rarity to be able offer this on a long term rental basis.
Please note there is a separate council tax band for the cottage. Band C.
