The Corner House: A Cotswolds Homecoming

In the heart of the English countryside, tucked away in the peaceful village of Heythrop, sits a quintessential Cotswolds home: Corner House. Set back from the area’s busiest tourist routes, this refurbished residence offers a rare sense of privacy without sacrificing the charm that draws people to the Cotswolds.

Built from the honey colored Cotswold stone that defines the region, Corner House dates to the early Victorian period. Originally two workers’ cottages serving the nearby estate, it has since been united and transformed into an elegant modern family home, respecting its roots while meeting the demands of contemporary living.

Today, the residence offers four bedrooms, with planning permission secured for a potential fifth, along with three and a half bathrooms and a separate cloakroom. Two proportioned reception rooms and a study or playroom complete a layout suited to family life and entertaining. The open plan kitchen, dining, and family room forms the heart of the home, complemented by a dedicated laundry room and a well appointed primary suite with its own en suite bathroom.

What sets Corner House apart is how carefully its character has been preserved. The renovation retained the architectural details that define a period Cotswolds home, a combination increasingly rare in the region. Planning permission is already in place for a rear extension, giving future owners the flexibility to grow the home alongside their needs.

Corner House proves that thoughtful restoration and modern comfort are not mutually exclusive. It is a home with genuine history, updated without losing what made it special, and it captures why the Cotswolds remains one of the world’s most sought after addresses.
