Once home to carriages and coaches, this 18th-century coaching house has become a cosy country home. The entire ground floor has been turned into an almost open-plan living space, adorned with candelabra, art from around the globe and a wood-burning stove at its heart. Come dinner time, pull up a pew (literally) at the long dining table by the window. Two refectory tables can accommodate up to 26 people for a grand celebration. The kitchen has a farmhouse feel with its range-style cooker and old coach wheel displayed as a reminder of the building’s former purpose. Bedrooms and bathrooms are delightfully pastoral with floral wallpaper reminiscent of the Victorian era and darkwood antique furniture. Outside, dining can be set up at the wrought-iron table. This home is set on a 15-acre estate with a two-acre lake, tennis courts, a croquet lawn, games room, on-site pottery and a shared outdoor covered swimming pool. The quaint village of Kemerton is a five-minute walk away with its local pub and coffee shop, and Tewkesbury is a twelve-minute drive away for grocery shopping and days out.
