Secluded countryside property situated in the 'most enchanting and pristine urban area in the Cotswolds region'
In the picturesque Cotswold market town of Chipping Campden, a remarkable property is now available – the Arts-and-Crafts house Kingcombe. This stunning residence, which dates back to 1925, has been meticulously preserved and is now launching on our platform.
Chipping Campden, renowned as one of the most beautiful and unspoilt towns in Gloucestershire, boasts a rich history deeply rooted in the wool trade. The town's High Street, described by Nikolaus Pevsner as 'the best piece of townscape in Gloucestershire, arguably one of the best in England', provides a captivating backdrop to Kingcombe.
The great, Grade I-listed, Perpendicular church of St James, dating from the 13th century, stands as a testament to the town's historical significance. It was in this town that Charles Robert Ashbee, a prominent figure in the Arts-and-Crafts Movement, moved from London in 1902, further cementing Chipping Campden's reputation as a centre for this artistic movement in the early 20th century.
Kingcombe, designed by Leslie Mansfield, offers a substantial 8,398sq ft of Arts-and-Crafts-inspired accommodation. The main house includes a galleried reception hall, five impressive reception rooms, and a kitchen/breakfast room. Elsewhere in the house, there are six bedroom suites, a seventh bedroom, and a bathroom.
One of the unique features of Kingcombe is its 'gardener's room', complete with a separate kitchen, plant room, and storage. Additionally, the property offers a home office/studio and two one-bedroom flats, making it an ideal space for both personal and professional pursuits.
Joint agents for Kingcombe are Rupert Wakley of Jackson-Stops in Chipping Campden and David Henderson of Savills in Stow-on-the-Wold. The property, which has a guide price of £5.5m, is for sale via Jackson-Stops and Savills.
For those seeking a piece of history within a charming Cotswold setting, Kingcombe presents an unparalleled opportunity. This remarkable property, nestled in the heart of Chipping Campden, offers a chance to step back in time while enjoying the modern comforts of a beautifully restored Arts-and-Crafts home.
