Description

This stunning converted Old School House located in the picturesque village of Dumbleton is a Grade II listed property, set over three floors and lovingly restored by the current owners enhancing the original character features and complimented by modern materials and technology.

The cosy lounge room provides a beautiful Inglenook fireplace and bay window with a window seat that leads to the dining room that can seat up to 10 people. The dining room has double doors leading to the private patio area.

There is a functional boot room and utility area from the front entrance with separate access to the outside, perfect for coming back from lovely country walks in the surrounding countryside. The well-appointed kitchen-breakfast room benefits from all the latest appliances but also boasts a working double AGA, perfect for cosy winter months.

The first and second floors offer generous-sized bedrooms, well-presented bathrooms, and valuable landing areas with oak balustrades, glazed panels, and exposed timbers.

The beautifully manicured gardens are to the side and rear of the house, with lawns and terraces benefiting from an outdoor table with seating up to 10 people.

The Old School House is tucked away, on a no-through road, in the heart of the village with ample parking for four cars. Dumbleton offers a fantastic base to visit the nearby Cotswold villages such as Broadway, Chipping Campden and Winchcombe. Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon are the main shopping and cultural centres for the region.

The surrounding countryside offers many excellent walks and rides and ample sporting opportunities. There is a mainline station to London from Moreton-in-Marsh (about 15 miles).

Altogether The Old School House is an idyllic and indulgent retreat that, once found, can be very hard to leave.

The Old School House is located in the beautiful village of Dumbleton, nestled between thatched cottages down a private lane and within walking distance to Dumbleton Hall.

From Dumbleton, you can easily access Broadway, Winchcombe and Cheltenham.

Terrific hosts and a perfect home in the Cotswolds

Every part of this was great except car trouble which delayed arrival and departure but the host Jeff was super-kind and helpful which was so nice. Lovely home in a perfect little village. Restaurants are a sturdy walk or short drive away so you will earn your dinner!! Will hope to return next year. ”

Dream home and Experience in the Cotswolds

I can’t say enough good things about my host, Jeff, and my stay at the Old School House in Dumbleton. I had made the preparations for this stay long in advance, which gave me the opportunity to get to know the home and area beforehand, with all of Jeff’s amazingly helpful information packets. Jeff has been absolute joy to communicate with and an absolutely perfect host. He went well above and beyond to provide me and my family with absolutely everything I needed for a magical stay, including allowing the family dog. The house is immaculate, well equipped, and perfectly situation in and around the Cotswolds’ idyllic villages. It’s now my dream to visit yearly. I couldn’t have wished for a better experience. Oh, and did I mention the most lovely and tasty welcome basket!”
