Theescombe, Amberley, GL5 5AU

Dunkirk Manor Cottage is an attractive attached Grade II listed building situated in Theescombe, Amberley. Arguably one of the area’s best addresses, this location offers a superb outlook over the Woodchester Valley, with hundreds of acres of National Trust land just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons. The property was first listed in 1980, and the Historic England entry notes that it was originally built as a stable block and barn in the early 18th century as part of the Dunkirk Manor estate. It is constructed using traditional methods, with Cotswold stone and red brick under a pitched roof, and is equally attractive from both the front and rear elevations. The cottage is currently informally arranged as two homes, but a prospective purchaser may wish to reconnect the two spaces, creating a substantial character residence.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. The left-hand side of the property comprises a utility room, a 14’ dining room, and a 19’ sitting room on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The right-hand wing includes a lovely 18’ x 16’ sitting/dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms (one with a large storage area) and a shower room on the first floor. There is significant potential (subject to planning permission and relevant consents) to create a first-class kitchen/family room within the largest space, which would benefit from glazed double doors opening onto the garden and its views. The property features many interesting character details throughout, and the rear windows make the most of the superb outlook. An appealing and characterful home in an exceptional position, offered to the market with no onward chain.
