Location: Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England

Price: £1,500,000 (approx. $1,909,245 USD)

Designer: Susan Minter Design

Footprint: 3,467 square feet (four bedrooms, two full and one half baths)

From the Agent: "This beautifully crafted modern home in Winchcome is set within the walls of a Grade II–listed stone cottage and former agricultural barn. The subject of major renovation and extension by the architectural designer Sue Minter, the house fosters an inherent sense of rest and retreat, with modern touches artfully woven through the historic fabric of the foundations. Open-plan living spaces flow with ease across 3,460 square feet, and an additional stone outhouse provides some further 150 square feet. The expansive gardens have been lovingly developed and tended, with wonderful terraces for alfresco dining. The location offers immediate access to the open fields and countryside, with the highlights of the Cotswolds close by and the regency city of Cheltenham."

The renovated property sits nestled at the end of a long, winding driveway in the English countryside.

The home is  surrounded by rolling hills and a large conservation area of grassland, yet it’s just a short drive away from cafes, shops, and local pubs.
