Wellacres House is set on its own in rolling Cotswold countryside with six acres of gardens and grounds to enjoy – all completely private. You can step out from the Family Room onto a big terrace with a barbecue and plenty of tables and chairs for al fresco dining.
The stylish heated outdoor pool is set in a decked terrace close to the house, fenced in for safety. The hot tub is open all year round and the pool is open from May to September.
There’s a big lawn with plenty of room for games or a run around, and a big snail mound – letting children and adults alike survey their domain.
A stone’s throw away from the main terrace is the games room in a big old Cotswolds barn. With a pool table, table football, outdoor table tennis and lots of fun stuff for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers.
Just the place for the children to hang out – or for mums and dads to let off steam. Children will also love the playground with swings and a king-size trampoline set amongst the copse.
Wellacres House has a suite of fantastic reception rooms in which to entertain and relax.
The Family Room is a large, light, open-plan living space, with a natural stone floor, fully equipped kitchen area, island for chopping or chatting, enormous dining space seating up to 18 at your stunning oak table, and armchairs for relaxing.
