Northwick, Northwick Park, Moreton-in-Marsh, GL56 9RJ

Description Built in warm Cotswold stone with a beautifully tended walled garden, this elegant five-bedroom house was formally part of the seventeenth century Northwick Park Estate The approach is particularly special.

Reached by a long drive that winds through some 35 acres of mature communal parkland, the estate has the feel of a hidden country enclave, with wide lawns, established trees and a sense of calm that begins well before the front door.

The house overlooks a beautifully manicured garden square, surrounded by attractive period homes, with symmetrical elevations and a honeyed façade that speaks to the character of the setting.

Inside, the rooms are generous and well balanced.

The ground floor is arranged around a broad entrance hall that doubles beautifully as a study or reading area, giving the house an immediate sense of proportion.

To one side sits the main reception room, with high ceilings, a fireplace and French doors opening directly onto the garden.

It is a room made for both quieter evenings and larger gatherings, with lovely natural light and a connection to the outside space.

Elsewhere, the kitchen and breakfast room is spacious and sociable, with bespoke cabinetry, ample room for dining and a layout that lends itself well to family life or entertaining.

Upstairs, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across the first floor.

There are two principal bedroom suites with their own bath or shower rooms, alongside three further bedrooms and additional family bathrooms, offering flexibility for family life, guests or those working from home.

A utility room on this level adds practicality without intruding on the main living spaces. Below, a substantial vaulted cellar provides another layer of versatility.

Currently used as a games room and wine store, it has a wonderfully atmospheric quality, with exposed stone and a sense of separation from the main house that would suit a range of uses.

Outside, the private rear garden is enclosed by mellow stone walls and planted in a traditional style, creating a charming extension of the house in the warmer months.

Beyond it lies the wider appeal of Northwick Park itself: Landscaped communal grounds, a swimming pool and tennis courts, all reserved for residents.

Northwick Park is one of those settings that feels both secluded and established, surrounded by glorious countryside yet within easy reach of the pretty market towns and villages that make this part of the north Cotswolds so sought after.

It is close to Daylesford, Soho Farmhouse, Estelle Manor, Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold.
