luxury house with terrace for sale Fossebridge, United Kingdom

At the centre of one of the Cotswolds’ most sought-after villages, Swinbrook Place is a beautifully remodelled Grade II-listed house, formed from two 17th-century cottages. It now reads as a confident and cohesive home, where period character is balanced with thoughtful, modern design. The ground floor is arranged with both entertaining and day-to-day living in mind. Two generous reception rooms sit either side of the plan: one centred around a full-size snooker table for long evenings in, the other cleverly divided, with a log burner to each side. At the heart of the house, a striking media room with an open hearth is framed by twin staircases rising in tandem, creating a strong architectural focal point. To the rear, a handmade kitchen with pale granite worktops is anchored by a three-oven Aga and Gaggenau appliances, flowing into a generous dining space that opens directly onto the garden, well suited to larger gatherings and summer months. Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, each with its own ensuite bathroom finished with roll-top baths and walk-in showers. The principal suite sits centrally and can be reached via either staircase. Bedrooms two and three each feature log burners in both the bedroom and bathroom, an indulgent and unusual detail. A further study area connects to an additional twin bedroom with its own shower room. In the garden, a detached bothy provides a fifth bedroom suite, offering a degree of privacy for guests. The house sits within approximately one acre of landscaped gardens, where terraces lead onto lawns, an orchard and established planting. Winding paths draw the garden down towards the ford, where a separate studio sits beside the water, shaded by a mature weeping willow. Dry-stone walls and painted picket gates frame the setting, giving a strong sense of arrival and enclosure. Swinbrook is widely regarded as one of the Cotswolds’ most desirable villages, set along the River Windrush and known for its picture-postcard setting. The Swan Inn and cricket ground are a short walk away, while nearby Burford offers a good selection of independent shops and restaurants. Daylesford, Soho Farmhouse and Estelle Manor are all within easy reach. Charlbury and Oxford Parkway provide direct rail links to London, and the surrounding area is well served by highly regarded schools.

There are Cotswold houses with river views, and then there are houses quite literally shaped by the water around them. The Mill is one of the latter. Occupying an extraordinary position astride the mill race on the eastern edge of Burford, this handsome former mill is a property of genuine character and individuality. Dating from 1790, with origins believed to extend considerably further back as the former Colliers Mill, the property is steeped in the history of this celebrated Cotswold town. Today, The Mill has evolved into an exceptionally versatile home, combining characterful principal accommodation with three individually arranged, self-contained, award-winning holiday lets, creating the opportunity to enjoy an enviable Cotswold lifestyle alongside an established income stream. Water is at the heart of the property. The mill race flows alongside and beneath the buildings, with balconies, terraces and gardens positioned to take full advantage of this magical setting. From the principal sitting room, doors open directly onto a balcony above the water, while elsewhere there are delightful places to sit, dine and simply watch life on the river drift by. Perhaps most remarkable is the combination of this wonderfully private waterside setting with the convenience of being within a level walk of Burford High Street. The property also benefits from generous private parking, a double garage and workshop/store, while the gardens provide a peaceful retreat beside the water. The result is something increasingly difficult to find: an historic Cotswold home with space, privacy, income potential, and parking, all within walking distance of one of the most desirable market towns in the Cotswolds.

Seller Insight: What is your favourite room in the house and why? Andy's favourite room is the kitchen as it's a great place to have family time and to entertain friends. We have created the kitchen we always wanted with a larder, breakfast cupboard and the island is the focal point which we all gather round throughout the day. Tina's favourite room is the conservatory. It is a beautiful space to sit and look out at the garden and birds with a cup of tea in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening with candles gently lighting the room. Who do you think will be the ideal new owner? We think the ideal new owners would suit a growing family. We particularly appreciated the security being off road and with the gates allowing children and pets to roam freely. It has the benefit of being in the middle of old town and yet being set back with plenty of parking and with very easy access to the Victorian Town Gardens which we enjoy daily. What do you love most and why about your home? Several things come to mind; the space, the fact that all of the children have their own bedrooms and bathrooms means we have never had a que at the bathroom door! and they have their own privacy even when guests come to stay as well. To be in the heart of Old Town and have as much parking as we do here, is one thing we are really going to miss! Never having to worry about parking when everyone comes home. Being so close to the Town Gardens – we go to the Town Gardens sometimes twice a day! Throughout the year there is so much going on there and the Blossom Trees are to die for ! What do you love about the local community? Our neighbours are just lovely and popping to Town Gardens where you'll know everyone (and everyone knows Obi!) and you get to know the regulars whether you're walking the dog or you're popping for a bacon roll! We have built up a network of friends where the children have all grown up together. Wood Street is fab! Lots of independent restaurants, bars and street parties which are so much fun! How easy is it to commute from here? I used to commute to both Newbury and London on a daily basis which is so easy either on the motorway or mainline station which is walking distance/short cycle from the front door. Our children commute to Reading and Oxford which is also a really easy commute. We are very centralised here in Old Town. What made you choose this property over others? This is a good question! When we moved here we were a multigenerational family and needed a home that would accommodate us all without feeling that we were all on top of eachother. As soon as we approached the house and came through the front gates we just saw all the autumn leaves on the trees and the house was almost perfectly framed by the tree nextdoor – we were sold there and then! Ground Floor: A spacious entrance hall welcomes you into the home, with newly laid herringbone flooring which flows seamlessly throughout a majority of the ground floor. At the heart of the home is the newly refitted kitchen by John Lewis of Hungerford, complete with a built-in larder and breakfast cupboards, alongside high-end integrated appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a useful utility room housing the white goods and additional storage. At the rear of the house, the formal dining room connects through to the garden room and the main living room. Completing the ground floor is the separate snug, office, and guest cloakroom. First Floor: Upstairs, the landing gives access to four generous guest bedrooms, three of which are en-suite, and the family bathroom which services the fourth guest bedroom. Second Floor: The top floor is currently dedicated to the master suite with bedroom 6 currently being used as a dressing room. There is a spacious en-suite shower room and ample room for additional fitted storage if the additional guest bedroom is required. Outside: Aisling House benefits from a private, low-maintenance garden to the rear, with an extended patio area providing the perfect space for al fresco dining and summer gatherings. To the front, the large, gravelled driveway allows parking for several vehicles with a newly fitted 7KW electric car charging point. Garage & Studio: There is a detached double garage with an electric door, which has been partly converted to provide a versatile space perfect for a home office, studio or a gym. Location: The historic Old Town is the older part of Swindon which is popular for its eclectic mix of independent bars, boutique shops, bakeries and restaurants amongst the practical amenities that are always handy to have on the doorstep. In addition to this, there are many walks to be enjoyed around a selection of public gardens and open countryside heading out to one of Swindon's old canal routes.
