Directions

Leave Cirencester on the A433 and take the turning towards Kemble and Malmesbury. Continue on the A429 passing through the village of Crudwell and after approximately 1 mile take the left hand turning to Charlton. Follow this road into the village and at the T junction turn right onto Park Street. The drive leading to The Dower House is located on the left next to the Church just prior to the gates of Charlton Park Estate at the end of the no through lane.

Description

The Dower House is a wonderfully versatile family house with 19th Century origins with later additions. It has been the family home for the present owners for over thirty years during which time they spent a great deal care restoring and refurbishing The Dower House to an exceptionally high standard. Facing south and arranged on three floors, the house provides excellent, well proportioned accommodation with high ceilinged rooms and a southerly outlook.

Standing in a private and peaceful position, the house is discretely set within its own delightful gardens and grounds running down to a Ha Ha. Within these there are a hard

tennis court and a swimming pool, barn, stables and garage. Beyond, with a separate access is the plot with consent for a four bedroom house.

situation, Location & amenities

The Dower House is set away from the centre of this attractive village which backs onto Charlton Park, the seat of the Earls of Suffolk and Berkshire, and enjoys stunning rural views. Charlton is an unspoilt mainly period village with public house (The Horse and Groom) and parish church. Malmesbury and Tetbury provide an excellent range of shops and amenities sufficient for most every day needs. More extensive shopping and cultural facilities are provided at Cirencester, Cheltenham, Bath and Bristol all of which are within easy reach.

There is a main line railway station at Kemble with a service to London in about 75 minutes. Alternatively from Chippenham the journey time is about 60 minutes. The Dower House is also within reach of the M4 and M5 motorways, therefore providing access to all parts of the country.

Golf courses at Westonbirt, Castle Combe and Minchinhampton. Racing at Bath, Cheltenham and Chepstow. Theatres at Cheltenham and Bath. The Cotswold Water Park offers a wide range of water sports near Cirencester. Westonbirt Arboretum and Polo at Beaufort Polo Ground and Cirencester Park. Hunting with the Beaufort and VWH. The surrounding countryside can be enjoyed via a good network of footpaths and bridleways.

The area is also well served by excellent state and Independent primary and secondary schools at Malmesbury, Minchinhampton (Beaudesert Preparatory School), Westonbirt, Grittleton, Rendcomb, Cheltenham and Bath.

garDens & grounDs

The quite lovely gardens have been very well designed throughout with care and attention and provide wonderful colour and splendour. The interestingly and well stocked borders contrast well with the different areas of the gardens mixed with a wide variety of mature trees. The gardens are a balance of the formal with individual corners contrasting well with the wide expanses of lawns.

Numerous doors from the main house lead directly out to the terrace and formal lawned area. Beyond the lawns is a Ha-Ha, which seamlessly divides the gardens and the farm land beyond.

outsiDe

The Dower House is set behind secure Cotswold stone walls offering privacy and tranquillity. The property stands within mature landscaped gardens and terraces with parking for numerous cars to the side.

At the front of the house is the swimming Pool. Surrounded by a Beech hedge and stone wall it is entirely private with the benefit of a stone Terrace area set under a pergola. Set further away from the house is the hard tennis court.

To the side of the house and beside the drive is the cotswold stone Barn / stable Block with 3 loose boxes with tack room, feed/rug store as well as Attic Rooms / Storage Space above. At one end of the barn and accessed from the lane is a Garage. There is potential to create ancillary accommodation in the barn. In the past consent had been granted for a Flat (now lapsed).

To the rear of the barn is a Greenhouse, which is well located within the Kitchen Garden.
