The Green, Sheepscombe, Stroud, GL6

As the name suggests, The Cider House is a converted 3-bedroom cider barn. The living accommodation is all on the first floor with the ground floor still housing the original horse-powered apple mill and cider press. Having been in the same family ownership for generations, this represents a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Cotswolds history that is ripe for renovation and extension to create a unique home.

A short distance from the Cider House there are two unconverted barns requiring complete renovation. Across the courtyard from the Cider House is a Grade II Listed stone barn which has lost it's roof whilst a short way into the fields there is a cart house which is partially roofed. IMPORTANT NOTE: these buildings are in a state of dereliction and viewers are advised to exercise caution if they enter either building.

Outside

To the rear of the Cider House, the courtyard offers generous parking for many vehicles with gate leading into the fields. The pasture is fenced off into three main areas with the Painswick Stream forming the northern boundary. Two footpaths run through the fields.
