DESCRIPTIONGranary Cottage is of Cotswold Stone construction under a pitched tiled roof. The property is in the curtilage of the Grade II Listed Ford Farmhouse, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Conservation Area. This barn is believed to date back to the early 1800’s. It was converted in 1985, and has been let on a long term basis for the last 30 years. This property is being sold with vacant possession. This would make a superb home, second home or letting opportunity.

SITUATION AND AMENITIESFord is a Cotswold hamlet comprising of period and contemporary cottages and houses situated in a lovely rolling region of the Cotswolds, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This hamlet has an excellent public house called The Plough, which is very popular, and lies only a short distance from Broadway, Winchcombe and Stow on the Wold.

Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park also offers a café, attracting many younger visitors throughout the year.
