Cownham Farm is a classic Cotswold stone farmhouse with a cottage and 80 acres at the end of a half-mile long driveway in Gloucestershire close to the border with Oxfordshire.
The farmhouse has been extended and offers well-proportioned accommodation over three floors; rooms throughout are spacious: the ground floor has a series of three rooms: reception hall/drawing room with a fine flagged floor, the sitting room and the garden room/dining room which has a high-pitched ceiling and views across the surrounding countryside.

The large kitchen is located to the rear of the house and two upper floors have six good size bedrooms.This house would benefit from renovation, and conveniently isn't listed. The cottage has already been recently updated.
The land is made up of grassfields and paddocks surrounding the property on all sides and the farm is organic, currently entered into the Higher Level Stewardship Scheme, and is let out on an annual grazing agreement. The pretty River Evenlode runs through the grounds and provides a haven for wildlife including brown trout, crayfish, otters and kingfishers.
Cownham Farm is positioned between Broadwell and Evenlode in Gloucestershire. Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh are both within an easy drive whilst Oxford and Cheltenham are also nearby.
The guide price is £3,250,000. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01865 790 077 or visit http://search.knightfrank.com.
