House Fairford

Colnside is a substantial detached Cotswold stone house, occupying a peaceful edge of town position with the benefit of mature gardens, paddock land and direct frontage to the River Coln. Dating from the 19th century and extended in the 1990s, the property offers generous and flexible accommodation of about 3,306 sq ft, set within approximately 2.27 acres.

The house is approached through iron gates to a gravel driveway, providing ample parking and access to a double garage. The traditional honey coloured stone elevation gives the house an immediate sense of character and permanence, well suited to its setting on the outskirts of Fairford, which lies about a half mile walk away.

The front door opens into a wide and welcoming entrance hall with parquet flooring, from which the principal reception rooms are arranged. The drawing room is a well proportioned and elegant space, centred around an open stone fireplace, with views over the gardens. This room works equally well for formal entertaining or quieter everyday use.

The dining room is generously sized and well placed within the house, making it ideal for family meals and larger gatherings. The kitchen is fully fitted with painted units and includes an Aga, range cooker, pantry and a separate utility room, providing a practical and well organised working space. A conservatory overlooks the gardens and enjoys views towards the river, offering a pleasant additional sitting area. There is also a further sitting room and a dedicated office, allowing the ground floor accommodation to be used flexibly depending on requirements.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom forms a comfortable suite with an en suite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and a dressing room. Four further bedrooms are served by two additional bathrooms. One of the bedrooms benefits from a large balcony with open views over the gardens and the River Coln.

Outside, the gardens are a particular feature of the property, with a combination of lawned areas, mature planting and paddock land creating a sense of space and privacy. The River Coln runs along the boundary, with ownership including half of the riverbank, providing a natural and attractive backdrop and supporting a variety of local wildlife.

Colnside offers a rare combination of period character, generous accommodation and an appealing setting, with countryside on the doorstep while remaining within easy reach of Fairford’s amenities. It is a well balanced family home with scope to be enjoyed immediately or adapted further to suit individual needs.

A replacement packaged sewage treatment plant will ultimately be required. The vendors are looking to transfer responsibility for the upgrade to a purchaser, and this has been reflected in what we believe is extremely competitive pricing for a property of this nature.
