6 bed detached house for sale in Main Street, Coln St. Aldwyns, GL7

Occupying one of the most coveted positions in Coln St. Aldwyns, and widely regarded as one of the finest residential settings in the village, Millfield represents a rare and compelling development opportunity at the heart of the Cotswolds. Standing within approximately 0.4 acres and extending to around 4,135 square feet including the garage, the property sits discreetly behind dry stone walls and mature planting, enjoying exceptional privacy and far reaching views across the Coln Valley.

Constructed in the late 1970s from Cotswold stone, the existing house has been carefully maintained but remains largely unchanged since its original build. As such, it offers a significant canvas for transformation. For some, the appeal will lie in modernising and extending the current structure, taking advantage of its generous footprint, established gardens and balanced layout. For others, the site’s scale, orientation and unrivalled position may inspire a more ambitious approach.

A conceptual sketch prepared by Fleming Architects illustrates one such possibility. It presents an artist’s impression of a reimagined frontage in which the two existing wings are unified to create a more substantial architectural presence. This indicative study demonstrates how additional massing could be introduced sympathetically, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional potential of the site. Equally, the plot lends itself to a complete redesign and rebuild, subject to the necessary consents, allowing a purchaser to create a landmark home befitting its setting.

As currently arranged, the accommodation is centred around a wide reception hall connecting four principal reception rooms, six bedrooms and four bath or shower rooms across two floors. The layout includes a flexible two bedroom annexe wing, ideal for multi generational living, guest accommodation or independent use. The gardens, long cherished by the current owners, provide south facing lawns, terraces for outdoor dining, and a variety of established planting including apple trees, raspberries and a distinctive cherry blossom at the front.

Whether through sensitive renovation, bold extension or a complete architectural reinvention, the site offers an exceptional opportunity to create a home of real presence in one of the Cotswolds’ most admired villages.
