Windfall Cottage, Beckford, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, The Cotswolds


Windfall Cottage is an architect-designed gem with uninterrupted views south over an adjoining orchard toward the Cotswold escarpment, offering a modern take on medieval-inspired construction. Set within its own private gardens in the grounds of a Grade II listed property, the cottage features a striking green oak aisle frame and an oversized porch.

Accommodation

Lovingly crafted using over 12 tonnes of sustainably grown green oak, Windfall Cottage sits on a locally quarried Cotswold stone plinth. Inside, it combines natural oak and limestone floors with modern luxuries, including underfloor heating, free-standing baths, powerful showers and a bespoke oak kitchen with an Aga.

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

Whether enjoying a relaxed meal in the farmhouse kitchen, a barbecue on the patio, or unwinding in the sitting room by the log fire with the French doors open, guests are surrounded by the charm of nature — ducks, hens, pheasants and even the occasional deer. Windfall Cottage blends contemporary elegance with timeless oak cottage style, creating a truly tranquil retreat.

Visiting the Area

Located in the charming village of Beckford in the North Cotswolds, the cottage offers direct access to Bredon Hill, the Cotswolds' largest outlier, which is perfect for endless walking, mountain biking and outdoor activities. Beckford features a shop with a deli and post office, a children’s playground and a church. The village also boasts a floodlit tennis club (with day membership available), a pub/restaurant and its own nature reserve, home to wild ducks, geese, swans and more.
