Key Features
Description
Hidden away behind mature planting and approached via a generous gravel driveway, August House occupies a wonderfully private plot extending to just under an acre on the edge of Broadway. Built in attractive Cotswold stone and offering over 2,500 sq ft of versatile accommodation, this is a home that perfectly balances modern family living with the peace and charm of its countryside setting.
Constructed in 2006, the property has been thoughtfully designed to offer both flexibility and practicality. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to three spacious reception rooms that can adapt effortlessly to the needs of modern life. Whether you’re entertaining family and friends, working from home, or simply enjoying a quiet evening, the layout provides an excellent balance of open, sociable spaces and more intimate rooms.
At the heart of the home is the generous kitchen and breakfast room, creating a natural hub for everyday family life. Complemented by a separate utility room and enjoying excellent natural light, it’s a space that’s equally suited to busy weekday mornings as it is to relaxed weekend gatherings. Throughout the house, large windows and French doors create a seamless connection between the interior and the gardens beyond, allowing the changing seasons to become part of everyday living.
The first floor offers four generous double bedrooms, including a well-proportioned principal suite with its own en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. Above the detached double garage, a dedicated home office provides valuable additional space, ideal for remote working, creative pursuits or those seeking a degree of separation from the main house.
Outside, August House truly comes into its own. Beautifully established gardens surround the property before opening into a paddock, creating a wonderfully private setting extending to just under an acre. There’s ample room for children to explore, summer entertaining, gardening projects or simply enjoying the tranquillity that this special location provides. For those looking to create their forever home, the generous plot may also offer exciting potential for further enlargement or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The setting is one of the property’s greatest assets. Situated on the outskirts of Broadway, August House enjoys the best of both worlds: the privacy of a secluded country home with the convenience of one of the Cotswolds’ most celebrated villages within easy reach. Often referred to as the ‘Jewel of the Cotswolds’, Broadway is renowned for its picturesque High Street, lined with honey-coloured stone buildings, independent boutiques, galleries, cafés, restaurants and traditional country pubs. Whether it’s an early morning coffee, an evening meal or a leisurely weekend stroll, Broadway offers a lifestyle that continues to attract buyers from across the country.
Beyond the village, the surrounding North Cotswolds provide an exceptional backdrop for outdoor living. Miles of footpaths and bridleways connect neighbouring villages including Snowshill, Stanton and Buckland, while Broadway Tower, National Trust countryside and rolling Cotswold landscapes are all within easy reach. It’s a location that offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding and simply enjoying one of England’s most beautiful landscapes.
Families are particularly well served by the area’s excellent selection of schools. Broadway C of E First School enjoys an excellent reputation locally, while highly regarded independent schools including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies’ College, The King’s School Worcester and Bredon School are all within comfortable driving distance. Honeybourne railway station provides direct services to London Paddington, while Cheltenham, Stratford-upon-Avon, Worcester and the M5 motorway are all easily accessible, making the property as practical as it is picturesque.
Homes offering this combination of privacy, outside space and proximity to Broadway are increasingly difficult to find. Whether you’re searching for a long-term family home, a peaceful Cotswold retreat or somewhere with the flexibility to evolve as your needs change, August House represents a rare opportunity to enjoy an exceptional lifestyle in one of the region’s most desirable locations.
