The Property
Court House is a beautiful 17th Century, Grade II listed village house, constructed of Cotswold stone and part-timbered elevations. The gracious accommodation is principally on two floors with additional accommodation and excellent storage in the attic. Beautifully presented, Court House retains a host of traditional features, including open fireplaces, mullion windows, exposed timbers, stone and French oak floors. Of particular note are the beautiful and original solid wooden doors with antique door furniture.

From the entrance hall, doors lead to the elegant drawing room with views to both the front and back gardens and an open fireplace with stone surround. The sitting room features an impressive former inglenook fireplace and exposed beams. From the inner hall there is access to the cellar and the staircase to the first floor.

A door leads into the playroom which in turn leads through the study. Accessed from both the inner hall and the playroom is the wonderful kitchen/breakfast room, fully fitted, which leads into the dining /family room with bi-folding doors to the garden.

The bedroom accommodation comprises a stunning master bedroom suite with a dressing room and en-suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The second floor provides two further bedrooms and a large attic storeroom.

There is planning permission to convert the stone bothy into ancillary accomodation or a home office.


Court House is situated in the popular village of Beckford, roughly equidistant between the towns of Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Evesham. The village offers local amenities including a village shop/post office, public house, village hall and tennis courts. The Regency Spa town of Cheltenham is with striking distance and provides a larger selection of shops and amenities, as do Evesham and Tewkesbury. Connections by road and rail are excellent. Evesham mainline railway station, about eight miles, offers a direct service to London Paddington. The M5 is accessed at Ashchurch, just four miles away, whilst the nearby A46 gives access to Stratford, Warwick and beyond.

The gardens and grounds extend to 1.1 acres and surround the property. The walled gardens to the east of the house are beautifully stocked with a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs and include a central fountain, raised borders and an ornamental pond. To the west of the house lies the principally walled garden where stretches of lawn are flanked by established borders and sheltered by mature trees. Adjacent to the kitchen is the courtyard garden with a traditional stone workshop. To the north of the house is a further area of lawn, pasture and young trees.
Court House is approached via a gravelled drive, through a pair of brick pillars to a substantial parking area, with an open-front garage currently used as a log store.
