Winstone Glebe House - sleeps 12 guests in 6 bedrooms | Cottage in Winstone

Lying in a pocket of peaceful villages not far from Cirencester, Winstone Glebe offers the perfect rural escape, yet is easily accessible. Spend time exploring the wealth of Cotswold attractions nearby before returning to your own little piece of the English countryside.
With time-worn flagstones polished smooth by owners of the past, gracefully high ceilings, generously proportioned rooms, and oodles of character, Winstone Glebe is a much-cherished family home that you are welcome to share. The ground floor flows effortlessly through a country-style kitchen, complete with AGA, a pretty drawing room, an elegant dining room, a games room with a pool table and a delightfully cosy snug. Upstairs, six charming bedrooms offer all the space you could possibly need and wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Traditional colours, beautiful fabrics, and unique pieces of art, all add to the character and appeal of this delightful country home.
Perhaps the most memorable of all are the gardens. Wrapping around every corner of Winstone Glebe, the Sylvia Crowe-designed gardens date from the late 1940s and feature formal planting, terraces, and topiary. Children have their own lovely space with a football goal, swing set and a trampoline. The stone terrace overlooking the lawn and fields beyond is where you'll spend lazy afternoons with a jug of Pimm's or an icy cold G&T as the sun sets over the yard arm.
Ground Floor
Kitchen:
The country-style kitchen has everything you need for a self-catering stay, or if you prefer you can organise a private chef. Alongside the traditional AGA, which keeps things beautifully toasty during the winter there is also a double oven and a gas hob plus a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and microwave. The corner table with its bench seating is a good place for feeding little ones, enjoying a quiet coffee reading the papers, or for arts and crafts on rainy days.
Utility/Boot Room:
Beyond the kitchen, the useful boot room is where you'll find a second fridge along with the washing machine and tumble dryer. If you've bought your four-legged friend, this is also a good drying room. There is also a door to the garden.
Dining Room:
This elegant room features French blue walls, a beautifully polished wooden floor, high ceilings, and an open fireplace. The antique dining table ensures mealtimes are always transformed into special occasions and in the sideboard, you'll find the original garden plans drawn up by Dame Sylvia Crow in 1947.
Drawing Room:
Designed with conversation in mind, the drawing room is a warm and welcoming room with an open fire, plump sofas to sink into and where you can simply relax and enjoy time with your guests. There's no TV in this room so you can just soak up the peace and quiet, whilst the children entertain themselves in the games room next door. Large windows at each end ensure the room is filled with light.
Games Room:
This spacious entertainment room has everything you could possibly need to keep children (young and old) happy. A large corner sofa occupies one end of the room, placed before a large wall-mounted Smart TV with streaming services. The button-topped ottoman is ideally located for marathon board game sessions, and you will find many options to choose from on the well-stocked shelves. There is also a full-size pool table with cues and balls. Vintage Air France posters add pops of colour to window-lined walls and double doors open to the terrace.
Snug:
Adding to the abundance of living space is the gorgeous snug. This forms the oldest part of the house, dating to the 1600s. Dark blue walls are the perfect foil for the old stone fireplace that now houses a cosy wood-burning stove, whilst the teal velvet sofa invites you to curl up with a good book and relax for a while.
First Floor
Wisteria:
The master suite is a beautiful room of pale blues and is so named for the delicate wisteria that clambers over the exterior walls during spring. An elegant super-king size bed ensures a comfortable night's sleep against a backdrop of botanical wallpaper. The large multi-pane window looks out over a timeless view. This generous room also boasts a dressing area and an en-suite bathroom.
En-suite:
This large en-suite bathroom features a separate bath, which is perfect for long, lazy bubble-filled soaks, shower, basin and WC and an abundance of space.
Peony:
Furnished in dreamy shades of pale pink, with delightful floral wallpaper, Peony is oh-so-pretty. The king-size bed is made up with soft linens and a place for peaceful dreams. Upholstered chairs and antique furniture, including a multi-drawer chest of drawers give the room a timeless feel.
Rose:
Restful shades of pale cream and green, and a huge window filling Rose with light are highlights of this gorgeous room. There's a king-size bed, a charming animal print chair, that invites you to curl up for a while and beautiful fabrics.
Bathroom:
This bathroom features marine-life-inspired tiles, a bath with mixer taps, a hand-held shower, a basin, and WC.
Chestnut:
Chestnut is a lovely room featuring a double bed and is finished in calming shades of green with hints of orange including a gorgeous deep orange velvet chair. There's plenty of storage too.
Bluebell:
Bluebell is the second of the double bedrooms and has a striking yellow bedframe, French blue walls, and beautiful fabrics in vibrant shades. This charming room offers plenty of space to relax and unpack.
Bathroom:
The second family bathroom has a bath with a shower over, along with a hand basin and WC.
Palm:
This delightful room is calming to the eye and perfect for children or adults alike as can be made up as a king-size or split into two small singles. The gorgeous animal and palm print fabric headboards are a fun talking point. The large window and deep sill are ideal for games of hide and seek, when the curtains are drawn.
Outside
Accessed by two driveways, Winstone Glebe sits within its own wonderful grounds. The spacious gardens are the brainchild of pre-eminent landscape designer Sylvia Crow. A separate children's garden offers a safe space for them to run and play. Behind the house is a hard-court tennis court, and to the front a sunny terrace and gardens which lead the eye to the glorious view. There's plenty of garden furniture so you can relax and enjoy the country air, and a charcoal barbecue.
