The Gate House

About this property

The Gate House is a superb, five-bedroom manor house resting in the quaint village of Stratton in Gloucestershire. Nestled on the edge of the brilliant Cotswolds AONB, this magnificent abode boasts off-road parking for up to five cars, a large, enclosed garden with lawn and patio space, and a fabulous collection of tastefully-presented interiors, making an idyllic base for large families or a group of friends looking to make memories with a refreshing, self-catered getaway. Park up on the large driveway outside The Gate House, taking a moment to appreciate the stunning façade of the home, with a pillared porch housing a welly rack welcoming into the property. Once inside, be instantly greeted by a stunning array of welcoming living spaces. The fully-equipped kitchen is centrally-located and serves as the social hub of the home, where delicious dinners can be both prepared and enjoyed as a group. To relax, you’ll find a sitting room and a snug, both of which comprise plush seating and their very own fireplaces, as well as two conservatories, where you can kick back to get lost in a good book or enjoy a film or two on the Smart TV. On warmer days, head outside to amble through the surrounding garden, a peaceful setting where you and your loved ones can frolic or delight in a spot of alfresco dining. When the sun sets, refresh in one of the homes’ sleek bathrooms before you finally catch your rest in any of the five decadent king-size bedrooms, spread equally between the first and second-floors. If you can tear yourself from this wonderful retreat, head out to explore what’s on offer in Stratton and beyond. A short walk will bring you to your nearest convenience store, the SPAR, where you can stock up on homely essentials, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be tucked into at the Drillmans Arms or The Plough Inn. Golf lovers can enjoy a round at the nearby Cirencester Golf Club, whilst in neighbouring Cirencester, visitors can peruse a variety of boutique shops, enjoy a drink or two at Somewhere Else or Téatro, book a table at La Bobina or Amore Mio, whilst also stopping by the notable landmarks of the Corinium Museum, Cirencester Amphitheatre, and St Michael's Park.
