Windfall Cottage, Beckford, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire


Windfall Cottage, Beckford, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire

Windfall Cottage is an architect-designed gem located in the heart of the North Cotswolds, offering uninterrupted views over an adjoining orchard towards the Cotswold escarpment. This stunning cottage provides a modern interpretation of medieval-inspired construction, with a striking green oak aisle frame and an oversized porch. Set in its own private gardens within the grounds of a Grade II listed property, Windfall Cottage offers both seclusion and beauty.

Lovingly crafted using over 12 tonnes of sustainably grown green oak, the cottage rests on a base of locally quarried Cotswold stone. Inside, the blend of natural oak and limestone flooring creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Despite its traditional aesthetic, the cottage is equipped with all the modern luxuries, including underfloor heating, free-standing baths, powerful showers, and a bespoke oak kitchen complete with an Aga.

Each bedroom is distinctively furnished, featuring Egyptian cotton linens, fluffy towels, flat-screen TVs, and luxurious en-suite bathrooms. The king-size master suite is particularly special, boasting a vaulted ceiling, a walk-in wet room shower, a romantic free-standing bath for two, and an adjoining baby suite, making it ideal for families with young children.

The living spaces at Windfall Cottage are designed for comfort and relaxation. Guests can enjoy a meal in the spacious farmhouse kitchen, host a barbecue on the patio, or unwind in the sitting room by the log fire. With French doors that open to the outdoors, the sights and sounds of nature, including ducks, hens, pheasants, and the occasional deer, provide a perfect backdrop to a peaceful escape. Windfall Cottage harmoniously combines contemporary elegance with the timeless charm of an oak-framed cottage, creating a tranquil retreat.

The cottage is situated in the charming village of Beckford, in the North Cotswolds. Beckford offers direct access to Bredon Hill, the largest outlier of the Cotswolds, making it ideal for walking, mountain biking, and outdoor activities. The village itself features a shop with a deli and post office, a children’s playground, and a historic church. Beckford also has a floodlit tennis club, with day memberships available for visitors, as well as a pub/restaurant and a local nature reserve, home to a variety of wildlife including wild ducks, geese, and swans.
